vw, in Bitches, best laugh I've had all day:

Ok...secret's coming out. I'm hiding out at Deena's and having so much fun. The kids are just cracking me up. I had to come tell a Kara story.

She's currently running around in her pullup diaper. I told her, "Kara, I can see your butt crack!"

"I don't have a butt crack!"
"Everyone has a butt crack."
"I don't have a butt crack!"
"Yes you do!"
"I DON'T HAVE A BUTT CRACK!

I decide to post this on Bitches...we're also currently looking at a Chinese menu, and Kara says, "This menu has a butt crack, though."

Cass:

Amazon GoldBox just offered me a Wüsthof 6-Inch cleaver. I think they can hear the neighbors too.

Betsy beat me to it. I shall go out in the garden and eat worms.

News item:

Federal judges are jeopardizing national security by issuing rulings contradictory to President Bush's decisions on America's obligations under international treaties and agreements, Attorney General John Ashcroft said Friday.

Susan W:

My DH: "Damn activist presidents! We need a president who will follow the Constitution."

Me, sadly: "We tried."

Consuela:

Oh, for the love of god.

It's the CONSTITUTION, you moron.

Want to brand it on his forehead, backwards, so he will see it every morning as he shaves.

NoiseDesign:

Like he actually knows how to shave himself.

Trudy Booth:

Like he actually has a reflection.

Ha! Wasn't beaten to this one. In Bitches:

Susan W: OK, I'm geek enough that I briefly tried to convince DH that Eowyn would make a wonderful middle name. But it must be noted that my fictional name source never goes Evil!

Daniel C. Jensen: It's better than naming your kid "Dubya" after someone who already is.

Trudy Booth:

It always makes me crazy when people treat MLK Day as a "black" thing. Not only did he free blacks from (a great deal of, clearly the job isn't done) tyranny, he freed whites from being tyrants.

Nilly in Natter:

Jessica, in my mind's ears, your post read: "In every wedding there's a chosen bridesmaid dress. She alone will stand against the formal, the styling, and the forces of the wedding industry. She is the bridesmaid dress".

ETA: Muahhhahaha on my uber cut-n-paste skillz. The extra 512mb of ram I stuck in this machine today is already paying off!

Jessica: In the mind of almost every bride, there is a Platonic ideal of a bridesmaid dress that flatters every figure, is formal enough for a wedding, yet classically styled enough to be worn over and over again. This, in spite of the fact that the bride tells her only bridesmaid, repeatedly, "I don't care what you wear, I just want you there on My Big Day," will cause the bride to reject all of the suggestions made by the bridesmaid because "It's nice, but it's not really what I pictured."

Nilly: Jessica, in my mind's ears, your post read: "In every wedding there's a chosen bridesmaid dress. She alone will stand against the formal, the styling, and the forces of the wedding industry. She is the bridesmaid dress".

Erika makes me laugh in Bitches:

I've talked about him in three or four threads already. If it weren't for all the brain damage, there'd be no story in that story. Or it's the same old "girl meets boy, girl likes boy, boy likes girl's writing and thinks she's amusing, boy has dying girlfriend, in like vegatative state, girl has disability, boy has wiggins, girl pines hopelessly and writes poems." You see it all the time. But it's not glamourous like in the movies.
