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

Here's a webpage for a woman who does genital horoscopes. [link]

Front page is worksafe. Some of the other pages have pencil drawings (eta: and pictures). Oh, and it's in German.

Bable Fish translation of one page:

Genital vintages was in my Georgian homeland a wide-spread technology for predicting future events and as an assistance with difficult decisions, that came to more and more over the centuries into oblivion. The women of my family retained this tradition as it the knowledge from generation to generation passing on. I learned the secrets of these practices of my nut/mother and extended her later, with the knowledge of other ranges, like for example of the Astrologie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Congrats, Stephanie!

My best friend is leaving in a little more than a month to the USA - both her and her DH are going to do their Post-Doc in Stanford. If they could wait until the end of the semester, I would fly with them (and their toddler and their few-months-old baby) and help them out with the settling and all. As it stands, I hope I'll get to visit them sometime in the next year or two.

This really really needs to happen.

Really.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Congrats Stephanie!

I woke up this morning with a horrible rash all over my face that is very hurty.

My SIL has been trying to get some publicity for my book through the alumni association at my college...but they have no record of me ever having attended.

Think I can get a refund on my student loans?

Your alumni association totally lost track of you? I didn't think it was possible for an alumni association to do that.

I hope the rash clears up quickly.

Psst. I heard a rumor that Allyson never went to college, and that she spent all her student loan money on blow....

If you are sitting next to your uberboss, do not groan with dismay when you are recognized for working here a significant number of years. Because not 40 seconds later, it is announced he's worked there 2.5 times as long.

OTOH, he was just as reluctant to face the spotlight, and we'd been talking about my dad's retirement (they knew each other in grad school) earlier.

Allyson, you should totally get a refund and stop drying your face with poison ivy. Ouch.

Oh Stephanie, that is wonderful! Congratulations!

Cupcakes can and should be used for medicinal purposes. Just not by me.

I recently stumbled upon a link to one of the best Jack Chick tracts I've seen.

Here Kitty, Kitty

Have people seen this? [link] It's a Jack Chick parody about the evils of "Tiki culture."
