Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

hip deep in pie

Overheard on another thread:

Here's something nice, this movie Waitress...sent out this note today saying they are doing something called "Random Acts of Pie-ness" where there will be trucks in NY, Chicago, SF, Miami, Philly, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta, and DC all weekend handing out slices of free pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Was that the Vegas one? I couldn't pay attention because I couldn't get past them getting hired to work in casinos -- I've watched too much CSI not to believe that everyone who works in any capacity is fingerprinted in a master database.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I often don't understand the fine distinctions they make on Hustle between stealing and grifting.

I mean, how is it not stealing to lift someone's wallet on the street? And they do that all the time.

Mostly, I think they're lying to themselves to make themselves feel better. They're CLEVER! Not common thieves!

Crap. Even though I had a big lunch pretty late, now I want dinner. But enough to get/make it? Unclear.

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

I think they were better about maintaining the distinction first season, but even then they kept hustling Eddie out of drinks/their bar tab, which was basically the same thing.

I liked this season quite a bit more than I thought I would with Mickey gone, but there were definitely more things that bugged than there were last season.

move out and draw fire

I just saw a (white Euro-descent) elderly female Buddhist monk somewhere. Now I can't remember where. She was bald and wearing saffron robes, and smiled at Mal.

I'm thinking the knees may be a problem with all the kneeling.

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

oh crap. I have a terrible growing crush on my neighbor. He's a writer, playwrite, teacher, 43, sexy, divorced, and came by to give me an iced latte this morning and sat outside talking to me for a few hours.

This is NOT GOOD. This must immediately stop.

Quick, someone say something disturbing.

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

You could just kneel down and then stay there like that. No problem.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Allyson should totally hook up with her neighbor.

Jesse should totally become a Buddhist monk.

Knees suck. That's not news. Building a better mousetrap is all well and good, but how should a better knee be designed?

My ex-GF had a new leg made while I was with her and they kept the knee joint from the first leg. So steel works. But it wasn't as flexible as a bio-knee.
