vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

I just rushed all the way through Natter to talk about House.

I divert to give ~ma and birdies of the hippo variety to them that need it.

Also, I have window clings, one from the 100th anniversary convention of my sorority, a school alumni one, and Strongbad and The Cheat from Homestar Runner. I've been mulling getting a license wrap thing from Cafepress that says "I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Now then... House: Can someone with spicier brains than me explain why I hated tonight's House? The Old Man And The Cameron stuff was meh, but the girl was pissing. me. off. Can't put my finger on why. I kept waiting for her to have a big reveal... parent rape? House's illegitimate daughter? WhyTF are you here?!? She was just Plot Ex Machina through the entire thing. And why the hell does House have to be a child abuse victim?!? Why can't he just be a damn misanthrope because he is!!! I think smart people know that, heaven help them all, sometimes people just suck. House is pretty smart. Why can't he just be freaking jaded???

In conclusion, wtf.

I loved the coffee pics. I might see if I can buy one for my new kitchen, which will be red, so that works out with the red cup. I will not, however, buy this one as I think it looks more like penis and less like coffee. or is it just me?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Drown the mouse in the trap. It's a quick way to end the suffering.

I once tried to save a mouse from a gluetrap, put it in the car, drove to a friend's house, and realized that the trap was stuck to the passenger side door because it slid across the seat when i was taking a turn.

Oh man. House is now dead to me.

I confess I didn't see this ep, but I'm so incredibly sick of that trope. If anyone with that experience has a pass to become a misanthrope or an ax murderer, etc. etc... then where do I sign up for my excuse slip? Sheesh.

t /massive personal issue

Which means I need to go to bed.

Yeah, House blew chunks. It was cheap.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Enough so that I should skip watching it?

Always Anti-fascist!

Is this where I talk about the cop from The Wire that shot a mouse with his service revolver "to serve as a warning for the others."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

there's no way to know if Oz or Max, specially Oz, would have attacked, and then I have a dog with a snakebite which I have to take to the vet.

My grandfather had a dog (golden retreiver )that went after all the cooperheads / water moccisins , etc. that were down in SC. And yes, bitten. Turns out that dogs are almost nonreactive to snake venom. golden retreiver . I would ,of course, double check, esp with a smaller dog. But snake enemy=dog.
