It's a rather good performance.

Here's a short article in Time about "tar baby," which quotes our own erinaceous: [link]
Congratulations SA! How wonderful for you.
Song of the South has soooo many issues. I do love Br'er Rabbit though.
Sorry for disturbing the ongoing conversations (I always feel a bit rude when I do this sort of thing), but I have to log off now, and with Passover soon and all the cleaning and stuff, I'm not sure when I'm going to have computer access again (though, if I have to work during he less-holy-days-of-the-holiday, you'll definitely read me whine about it!).
Anyway, the reason I'm posting is that according to the Buffista Calendar, Friday the 30th, will be libkitty's birthday, and next Tuesday, April 3rd, will be Tom Scola's birthday. So I just wanted to send early wishes for them both, for a great day and a wonderful year.
Also, I miss posting with you guys. Um, I mean, happy and peaceful Passover to those who celebrate it, and just plain old good news (or at least better news) (I initially typed "goof news" - those are OK, too, right?).
Congratulations to Kat and lori! Noah and Grace are beautiful names. I hope they plump up quickly.

If, you know, the internet was a comic book.
Babies! Oh, congratulations!
Eat, wee babies! And get large!
Eat, wee babies!
The comma here is especially important.
Happy and Peaceful Passover to you too, Nilly. We miss you.
tommy, that dressage clip was amazing. I just want to take that gorgeous horse out into a grassy field and let her run and roll in the grass for a few days. She's beautifully trained, but I'm not entirely sure that all the training methods are humane, even these days, so I don't think too much about that.
SA, you Star! Woohoo and congratulations. Well-earned, you!
Theo, I'm so sorry. But at least you're not doing data entry! And it sounds like you have options and a pretty good grace period, so I'm very glad for that.
Grace and Noah! Pleased to make your acquaintances, my dears, but you might have waited a bit for your grand entrance! Since you're here, though, all blessings and wishes for good things to both of you, and to your mommies.
Timelies all!
Much ~ma to Kat, Lori, Noah and Grace!
Congrats, SA!
What is it with this week? We found out a guy we knew from the convention circuit died yesterday from a heart attack. He had had one last year, but seemed to be doing quite well. Enough already!
