'Shindig'
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.
They react as one would to a flaming toaster chucked in your direction.
One of my college suite-mates used to tell a story about how was she was visiting Catholic high schools the current students chucked a doll they'd set on fire dressed in the school uniform out the window into the crowd of prospective students/parents being given a tour. Hee!
I can't listen to those news conferences. Just can't.
I was wrong about the work thing. I hate being wrong. ugh. at least I didn't fight my position in the meeting.
ok, now lunch.
I am moved into my new cubicle - all boxes are unpacked. Bored now.
Flaming toasters out windows = awesome.
I never threw a flaming toaster out a window, but I may or may not have been involved in an incident on Halloween freshman year wherein some lit jack-o-lanterns came to be tossed out a 4th-floor dorm window and may or may not have lit part of the lawn and someone's bicycle wheel on fire.
Had my (hopefully) last sonogram today. Baby is 7 pounds currently, meaning he will likely be 9-ish by his due date. Um, ouch! On the plus side, I think this means I get to go back to drinking as much coffee as I want (since the only semi-proven side effect in humans is low birth weight, which seems pretty clearly not an issue for us. Did I mention OUCH???)
I steadfastly ignored the Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah Press Conference. I knew as soon as I saw the announcement that he was just going on television to gloat and lecture us all.
Flaming appliances=bad.
I used to have a small toaster oven in my dorm room and on winter days I would come back from class, pop in some read-made cookie dough and have hot, fresh, chocolate chip cookies and cocoa.
I'd kill someone for an oven fresh chocolate chip cookie right now.
It's easier to hate my life less with full sleep.
Not enough wrod in the world. I think my kids gave me a reprieve last night and didn't do the tag team waking. I got a whole seven hours uninterrupted and it feels pretty damn good.
just implied that anyone killed in Iraq over the next couple of months is the fault of people against the war.
ie - War doesn't kill people. People against the war kills people.
Um, the NRA wants its tag back. and I want to throw my flaming tv out the window.
Some of the Fark LOLPresidents are incredibly offensive (how shocking), but a few of them made me laugh a lot.
"Droppin' Hamiltons Like It's Hot" make me laugh and laugh and laugh like the GINORMOUS nerdgirl that I am.
t edit As did Nixon/Mao with the "ROFL MAO" word balloons.
t edit again As did the "SUCK IT, WHIGS" ones.
That man honestly just implied - damn near outright stated - that anyone killed in Iraq over the next couple of months is the fault of people against the war.
What's more depressing is I'm not even a little bit shocked by this. Disgusted and angry, yes, but I've completely lost the ability to be surprised by anything this administration says anymore.
Worst hunting dog ever:
Jessie, a South Shore golden retriever, has become a media darling. Ever since the seven-year-old canine adopted three baby bunnies, she’s been in the spotlight.
Ironically, the Fishers had been teaching Jessie to hunt rabbits. They aren’t sure whether she was guided by her retriever instinct or her maternal instinct when she presented them with her foundlings.
The Fishers believe the bunnies were little more than newborn when Jessie discovered them. Afraid the mother would reject her babies once they were covered with Jessie’s scent, the Fishers decided to try to keep them alive.
Jessie has nothing on the chicken who adopted kittens! (OK, it's more like she likes to lay her eggs on the kittens and sit on them all, but it's still pretty darn cute.)
