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

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

I'm tired, drunk, and own no fishnets. Carry on.

Oh, man I remember that from Atlanta. You just don't see that in the North. They go on about pollen counts here and I just laugh and luagh.
It was a record 5,937 pollen particles per cubic meter of air yesterday. "Extremely High" is more than 120.

Hec, I assume you've seen this, right? And this?
Awww, you're so thoughtful. I am familiar with that site but they've had a makeover (so to speak) and it looks much better now.
I love Lori Petty. She's so freakin' CUTE in Tank Girl. I even watched all four episodes of her sitcom when it was on.

More on "Paleo-futureism" - from a 1982 NYT article:
....activity in the field [of futurism] has slowed to the point of stopping. "Actually, [futurism] died somewhere in the 1970's," said Michael Marien, the editor of "Futures Survey," a monthly abstract published by the World Future Society. "Nobody announced its death, but it happened." Mr. Marien, who has been monitoring futures literature for the past dozen years, said the flood of books on trends and forecasts is down to a trickle.

I just went shopping for cross-stitch supplies so I can start working on my sister's wedding present (a Celtic-themed wedding annoucement). Between the cost of the pattern and the supplies, so far I only have about $45 in it--the big cost is going to be getting it framed later on, though.
