A blog I frequent is having a sorta' contest to see if anyone can figure out what this is: [link]
Clearly, it is a device to capture souls.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?
Buffy ,'Lessons'
Natter Five-O: Book 'Em, Danno.
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Our wings are not tired.
So this 35 year old dude from Orlando on a cruise with his 16yo godson jumps off the ship and somehow survives 8 hours in the ocean before the coast guard finds him. [link] Ah, spring break.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Aw. They're showing a story about this guy and his dogs -
He took them out one morning for their usual Sat AM hike up a mountain, and when they got there, one of the dogs, who loved that hike, just flat refused to go. He was worried she was sick, so he took them back home. And had a heart attack an hour later.
(Whereupon the same dog brought him the phone so he could call 911.)
t looks askance at dog
Well, I'm reasonably certian she doens't actively want me to have a heart attack. That's about as far as I'm prepared to go, though.

What is even happening?
Me? I just call the cops. I don't invite them in!Once you've invited them in, thereafter they're always welcome.
Or maybe that's vampires. I disremember.
Heh, around here today it's "Avoid Drunken Bostonians Day".
Fortunately, we're all still in shape from doing the same on New Year's Eve.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It turns out there's a bunch of Powerizer vids on Youtube, like this one:
Some supervillian needs to equip an army of henchmen with these....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Also known in Middlesex County as "'Evacuation' Day."
Do click on the Powerizer link. Seriously, it's something that I would have expected to see featured on Boingboing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Heh, around here today it's "Avoid Drunken Bostonians Day".
Hey, here too! So E and I are going to Lowe's to look at ceiling fans. I figure since they don't serve green beer there, it'll be pretty much empty.
I got a care package from my grandmother today, containing 10 dish towels and 2 sets of potholders. The note said "This is what your Mom said you needed!" and so now I have to call my mom and find out exactly what she said to make my grandmother think I needed 10 dish towels. I guess they'll come in handy when the baby's born.

Heh. I love the random grandma care package. I got a lot when she was planning to move.

No, it's not one of those jokes. I did not know this:
Gently sneak your middle or ring finger between her front teeth, and push down the bottom jar. The cat has no power in it when her head is bent backwards, so she won’t bite back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's hilarious. When I moved in my first apartment, my grandmother sent me a ton of hand towels and a huge stock pot and some other stuff I forget what. Her rationale was that she didn't need all that stuff anymore, being alone. Um... did she think I was moving into my apartment with a husband and three kids?
