Speaking of CSI (not really), if anyone watched L&O on Friday, my sister was very briefly in the first scene! She's the angry looking woman in the front row in the camouflage jacket, and there's a close-up of her shouting at the Anne Coulterish speaker right before everyone rushes the stage. (Ripped-from-the-headlines opening scenes that only tangentially affect the case don't need whitefont, right?)
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ah well, moving on! I think I'll go buy a six-pack and a scratch card.
You should also pick up a six-pack....

That said, I know you can't go into almost any grocery, convenience, liquor store around here without passing the state lottery on sale
True, but I can't think of anywhere to buy a lotto ticket that doesn't also sell beer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I said six-pack!

Oopsie. Dunno what my brain did there....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Get two, in case the first one breaks?

The other day I saw I guy walk out of a liquor store and immediately drop his bottle of vodka, which went all smashy-poo. Without missing a beat he just turned around and walked back into the liquor store.

THOMASVILLE, Ga. -- A Georgia woman bloodied in a car wreck says she owes her life to a German shepherd who--thankfully--just wouldn't stay in his yard.
Shannon Lorio says that after her car careered down an embankment, the wayward dog found her bruised and battered on the vehicle's trunk, dragged her about 50 yards through briars to a highway and let her lean against him so she could flag down a passing motorist.
His new name: Hero.
"That dog is always going to have a special place in my heart," Lorio said Friday. "He's my hero."
His previous owners signed him over to the Thomasville-Thomas County Humane Society after the Jan. 26 accident because he kept wandering off.
He won't be in the shelter long. At least 50 people offered to adopt him.
Lorio, 36, of Pavo said she can't adopt Hero because she already has six dogs, but she's showered him with gifts.
"If he ever needs anything, I'll be there," she said.
Dog trainer Heidy Drawdy of Thomasville will take Hero to see if he's cut out to be a search and rescue dog.
First item on the agenda for the wandering canine: obedience training.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
G just left for the airport. His business trips seem to inspire mixed feelings in me. On the one hand, I miss him when he's away and the house can seem too quiet. On the other hand, I can do what I like without worrying about bothering him. Sigh...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Awesome good doggie!
Apparently he's been busy - this article from the local paper reports rumors of him having rescued a family from a burning home a week earlier.
