Lovely lovely JZ in Natter:
The other major pleasure of the weekend was yesterday afternoon, when two women who'd been housebound with new babies for a few months met up and introduced their now 7-month-old babies to one another. It turns out that if you are small and fat and bald and helpless and surrounded by supercompetent omnipotent giants all day long, there is nothing on the face of the earth that will crack your shit up like coming face to face with another small fat bald helpless person. The babies spent almost an hour staring each other in the face and screaming with delight: one focused entirely on the other and almost bursting out of his skin with joy, and the other, even more entertainingly, every now and then cutting his eyes over to his mom's face with a look of thunderstruck glee, as if to say, "Do you see this? Do you see it? This shit is crazy! It's another fuckin' baby, I shit you not!"
I've received backup for COMMing this, and anyway, damnit, it needs COMMing.
Cindy in, I believe, Natter; the context speaks for itself.
I try to cut down on # of posts, and the dingoes ate my meara.
Perkins:
Mondays are stupid. Can we outlaw them?
NoiseDesign:
Well, but then Tuesdays become the new Monday, and then we have to outlaw them, and then it's Wednesday as the new Monday. Hey, wait a sec, soon we'll have nothing but weekend. Okay, I'm beginning to see the wisdom in this plan.

(I just realized that I can't refer to Johnny Depp as anything but Johnny Depp. Calling him Johnny would be too strange. It's like Jordan Catalano! Must say the full name!)
On the possible debate between Clark and Cheney, in Natter
deborah grabien:
yes, I did go to college, Mister Vice pResident, Oxford in fact - I also served in - um, I think his mechanical heart just sputtered a bit..."
matt the bruins fan:
I suppose it would be bad form to bring a really big magnet and wave it at your opponent during a debate, eh?
And follow up to that:

Noumenon: "In my [diabolically WRONG] plan, Dick Cheney is beltless!"
Also in Natter, on Wes Clark's bio:
brenda m.: So he's from the Midwest, the South, and the East Coast, plus he's Jewish, Catholic, and Baptist? I'm liking the sound of this. He's like a demographic cluster bomb.
Jess P. in Natter, about the possibility of Dean/Clark:
There just has to be a better way to denote running mates. Any phrase that includes a "/Clark" is never going to look like it's about politics to me.
Theodosia, I was the Some Buffista you mentioned above.
Deb, cracking my shit up...
I'm still, after all these years, trying to wrap my head around an American university called "no-ter Dame", long A. Huh? You spell it the same as the cathedral which, trust me, aint pronounced that way.
And I keep envisioning that Dame in question in the high heavens, peering down at the school and shaking her fist and yelling "IDIOTS!"
