Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Cass, you have Jack, or Jose, or something, right?Um, I know the way to the store to buy some... *rassenfrassen liquor laws that are stupid and make me go out of my way to drink anything but wine or beer*

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Actually, I should point out that Emmett brought up his MLB career himself. He was petting Matilda's head and pondering her little face reflectively, and then out of the blue he said, "Wow, when she's like, fourteen, I'll be playing on a Major League Baseball team."
"You're that sure?" I said.
"Of course," Emmett said. "I have the drive and the ambition and it will happen. I know it."
Possibly I'll look at the Robot Chicken C&H this evening... my issues mostly circle around "Please don't write sexy (het or slashy, I don't care which) fic about my childhood woobies, or I will cut you." Dark I can do.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
"Of course," Emmett said. "I have the drive and the ambition and it will happen. I know it."
Are you sure he's not Dwight Schrute?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Heaps of ~ma, Tom. Steph said everything I was going to. It IS worth it, and you CAN do it. And you are worth it.
I got ambitious with my workout since my back didn't hurt anymore after swimming, so I decided to lie down on the floor and do leg lifts and situps. Then I couldn't get off the floor without serious maneuvering since I had managed to fuck up my lower back again.
Speaking as a person with low-back pain experience, don't do that. (I'm real fucking helpful, aren't I?) How are you doing them? With leg lifts, you need to have the other leg bent and tighten your lower pelvic muscles to support your back. Press your lower back inito the floor. (Or bed. My PT told me to do them on the bed, since I have a firm mattress.) And arms at your sides for more support, not behind your head. Sit-ups, just don't. Do crunches and pelvic tilts. ... Of course, you may know all this already. In which case, never mind.
Retrocausality blows peoples' minds because they insist on thinking that time moves.
I want a Coco-Cola in a can. Preferably one with more than scant traces of coke in it.
Happy Pi Day! In celebration, I have cherry pie!
(It's also Steak And Blowjob Day.)
Well, I just had steak. ::looks around for the other half.::
Dana, Ben-Gay will stop the itches too. Same overriding-the-pain-receptors idea. (Don't use on open wounds, natch.) I did this when I was having the mysterious sourceless itch from hell.
This is a fairly dark Calvin and Hobbs comic: Wow. That made me inexplicably sad.
Very sad.
FWIW, Watterson said that there were certain strips which indicated that Hobbes did indeed have his own reality separate from Calvin's imaginings. I don't know which ones he's referring to, but in his estimation Hobbes was not simply the product of Calvin's perfervid brain.
I remember thinking that. Sometimes Calvin reached things by standing on Hobbes that he couldn't have reached if Hobbes were just a stuffed toy. My friend Melisa opined that Hobbes was actually a faery creature sent to keep Calvin from accidentally killing himself.
