It'd be neat if they could make an electronic keychain that would tell me what word I'm fumbling for at the press of a button.
Wouldn't that just be a keychain that says "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"?
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Can you afford not to buy it?
I do have it on tape, even though it is the slightly-edited PBS version from more than 15 years ago. I guess I'll forgo it for now; there are other things I'd like to spend $46 on, such as a few books (last night's TDS interview had what sounded like a fascinating book on the Glorious Revolution of 1688--I'll try and get that from the library this summer).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
tommyrot, are you under a tornado watch?
"Isolated tornados" are possible, but no watch as of yet.
Also, I think there are warnings of large, pterodactyl-like creatures swooping down and carrying people off to feed their young....

That's so weird. It's got to be for newly-observant folks, right?
It's sold by the Jewish Learning Group, so yeah. The little icons are pretty cute. And the "Bonus Prayers" - act now and we'll throw in a Sh'ma. I can see giving it to kids. And it's something that would benefit me - it's taking me forever to learn the handwashing one because I can't hold a book while I wash my hands.
Eta: Jeepers, be careful tommyrot!

I was just looking at the regional radar link at the Tribune, and it looks like the line of t-storms that were in Des Moines when I last checked about 90 minutes ago are approaching the Quad Cities. The forecast of "storms starting after 6:00 tonight" is pretty much on track, it looks like. I'm going to make sure I get out of here in an hour, stop by Jewel for the shopping I should have done earlier this week, and get home by 6:00.

Dude, I have never in my life forgotten the word "Fuck!" You affront me, sir!

Oh, man, I thought I was over my iPhone envy but I just saw an ad and it's all rekindled. Damn you Jobs!

So it turns out that the coworker who rec'd the dentist will get $25 off her next visit! And so will I!
OK, I'm trying to be enthusiastic about this... I'm calling tomorrow, I swear. Feeling a little less intimidated.

It's good for business, that's for sure.
