Congrats bon bon!

Note that the plane was forced to land in Hawaii. I think the squirrel was just aiming for a free tropical vacation.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hooray!

I was trying to explain to my guys that if that cover was pinned up to the walls in their cubicles, I'd have a big problem with that.

I'm still steamed over the response I got back from them, like they were trying to make me feel like some sort of humorless dried up feminist. I'm a really funny, well moisturized feminist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The ended up killing the squirrel, as they were afraid of rabies....

Maybe the squirrel wanted to be buried in Hawaii....

Hee!

Yeah, it took an awful long time for them to get a fucking clue. Oh, and get this: she also contacted a couple of major publications EO advertises in. So far, one has promised to review all EO ads before running them. So.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That just reminds me of the word moist. Poor word, to have all that ick on it now.

But it totally does.

Walk up to someone and make lech eyes at them while slowly saying "moist." Laugh time.

I played with a most charming baby yesterday. She didn't ping my ovaries, because I'm really really really glad I don't have to take care of one, but she was a lot of fun to play with. It's possible I might have weirded out some of the kravvers, because that's really not who they think I am.

She should send off the ad and responses to Broadsheet at Salon.

Didn't Broadsheet (or someplace else) already cover it a few days ago? I swear I saw it someplace else in addition to here....

There was this comedy radio show in Chicago years ago that had a recurring character who had Tourette's. Of course the Tourette's guy couldn't swear on the radio, so his random Torette's interjections were things like "Moisture!" and "Monthly visit!"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Damn, that's beautiful -- and yet there's so much context behind it that I hesitate to COMM it. I do, however, urge you to cannibalize it and use it in an essay for the next book. It's just too lovely a line not to share with as big an audience as possible.

Also, congratulations, bon bon! (Am I the only one who gets confused by the bonbob portmanteau and has to stop and remind nyself that we're not congratulating a bonobo? Yes, I probably am.) I remember when you were just a leather-clad Michigista plotting her escape, and now you're a high-powered NYC attorney who's about to acquire a philosopher husband! Yay!
