OMG, funniest interview evah on Colbert tonight!!! So hilarious that I literally sprayed Diet Coke when I choked with laughter.

I was semi-awake during my last foot surgery, mocking the doctor for mistakenly thinking I hadn't really needed it. Perhaps mocking the man who has a drill to your metatarsal isn't the best idea, but I was kinda stoned at the time. That was pretty cool, but I wouldn't have wanted to watch.

"Hands-free expression halter" baffled me completely until I read the comments on it. Um, it keeps you from making gestures while you talk?

Donald Duck propaganda poster to encourage WWII Aussie soldiers to use condoms: [link]

This rare poster is the only one we know of and we believe of Australian issue. Text at top reads "And Me With Out A Pro[phylactic]! Be Sly VD Is High." Great art depicts Donald Duck in an Australian soldier's uniform while behind him is an attractive woman in a tight slinky dress lying in wait behind a large plant. Donald has an exasperated look on his face as he is without a prophylactic. At the lower right is insignia "4MCD," we believe to be for the Fourth Medical Corps Division. Art is signed "Cyril Jones."

Worksafe.

ita, send my regards to your sister.

Will do, Vortex.

It's very weird. I went on a vintage slip shopping spree on eBay (I really should have my PayPal finger removed) and now I have slips I am never going to wear under dresses because I don't have applicable dresses. Which means...nighties.

Tonight is my first nightdress night. It's going to be weird.

FWIW, I mostly sleep in old t-shirts in the summer. They're worn nice and smooth, I can throw them in the hamper right away if they get sweaty (as they do on sultry nights) without worrying that too much washing will wear them out, since by definition they're on their last (nonexistent) legs.

Perhaps I'd be moved to get some better nightclothes if I had a nonexistent sex life. And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bus.

I have a nightgown I bought to wear as a slip, so that evens things out?

I have never owned or, to my knowledge, needed a full slip. Is that odd? I have half slips in different lengths and colors, so there's that.

And in other news, I'm Netflixing Profit at the moment. Oh, my. This led to my needing to find out about this whole Adrian Pasdar an Natalie Maines being married thing - apparently, if the internets are to be believed, they met when they were paired as groomsman (is that a word?) and bridesmaid at one of the other Dixie Chick's wedding. Kind of sweet, actually.

The teachers among us will be agog at this: [link]

Whoa. Blair just announced he's stepping down in a month.

And in more politics, great ad from Bill Richardson: [link]
