flea: It wasn't a typo, it was a thinko.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Hil R.: Sigh. My mother just emailed my sister and me an article explaining how compound interest works, and how it's different from simple interest. I'm a mathematician. My sister is a tax lawyer/accountant. She thinks we don't understand compound interest?

Just wanted to point out that I've used 'thinko' for years, as I first heard it from my friend Lenny at least 16 years ago.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sox, in Bitches.
Thank you so much to everyone here for the support. My mom was of the 'hold on - things will get better' school of thought - and she is probably right, but I think by that point I would have completely unraveled, and become Yarn, instead of Sox.

Sail and Raq, in Bitches, on the care and feeding of cats:
SailAweigh: I've got an automatic food dispenser. It runs on batteries, so I can program feeding times into it. They get fed twice a day, at the same times everyday.
Raq: Hey, so does my cat! Actually, he has two. They are both carbon-based semi-autonomous household appliances, and they run on Coke Zero. He's programmed one to feed him at 5:30 am and 9:00 pm, and the other to feed him at 8:00 am and 5:30 pm.
Raq: He's developing a spot-feeding dispenser, but it's not tall enough to reach the food yet.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Liese S.: Yesterday I saw an elk. A really big one. Well, I dunno, it was my first encounter that close, so I dunno if it was big compared to other elk. But it was big compared to me.

MiracleMan: "...also, my good man, if ever you venture near the Hundred Acre Woods, up near Warwickshire, you'd best watch yourself. My uncle's flatmate's cousin was mauled by a yellow bear in a red shirt up there. Plus, they say there are tigers."
