Raq: My hurricane dream last night was that they were doing away with the number rankings and using names instead. Something smaller than a 2 would be a "Shack," while a Category 5 storm would be a "Clysm." In my dream I realized these names were chosen because they'd been abbreviating "Category" as "Cat'y," so you'd have a Cat'yShack or a Cat'yClysm.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Ponies aren't so fun if you have to buy them yourself.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Cindy, for those of us with chronic lag-behind, which thread was Frank's Cry Woobie! in?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Me: "I was up at 3 trying to get the girl back to sleep."
Him: "You're doing a bad job selling me on this fatherhood thing."
Me: "Uh... when the hell am I supposed to be selling you on fatherhood? It's not like I'm gonna get steak knives for every couple that gets knocked up."
Thing is, I give respect, and I expect it in return. I'll tell parenthood like it is and never, ever ask anyone when they're going to have kids, but you tell me how I'm a "stupid breeder" and I'll cram the spare pacifier in my pocket up your ass.
Cindy: No, just the tenth. It goes:
key chain
manual can opener
rechargeable flashlight
corkscrew
toaster
DW40 Gift Pack
clicky fire stick thingie
electric can opener
coffee maker
steak knives
The knives are pretty nice, though.

...the baby can't communicate to you what it wants, and even then what they want may be, "My whole life depends on me teething on those serrated steak knives! Nothing else will make me happy!" or, "I am rather blue today, plus my butt itches. Woe! Just pick me the fuck up already! You don't need to wipe your ass! Why must you torture me so?!" or, "I'm soooooo fucking bored. Christ. Where's that thing that was so amusing yesterday? You know. The thing. With the colors. You know what I mean! Just get it, okay?! Fuck you!"

Kathy A: I got punny with my freshman lit class in college, and titled a paper on a Wordsworth poem about the River Wye "Misty Water-Coloured Memories of the Wye We Were." I never punned for a college paper again.
dw: My big "capstone paper" on a failed federal attempt to preserve a patch of tallgrass prairie was titled "Buffalo Grass, Won't You Come Out Tonight?"
