'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A woman walking in front of me took a nasty tumble on an ice patch and fell right on her ass.
I took very careful steps this weekend. I did not want to have A Story told about how I fell on my ass.
The funny thing about Ash Wednesday is the instinctive response you have to tell someone that there's something on their forehead, before you remember that it's there on purpose. The two years I spent at a Catholic grad school were particularly trying.

How does that happen? Evil gnomes sneaking into stockrooms and opening up soda containers?
Well, now I'm afraid it was Tampered With, since it was sitting by itself in front of several lined-up rows of bottles.
Jesse, you're gonna DIE!
Now I'm hold with a nice lady at Coke who keeps saying "wow -- that's completely not to our standards." Now the issue is being "heavily documentated."
So that's good. If I wake up dead, at least the world will know why!
