This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

No LJ, and I'm not getting email comments.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I reported yesterday (in Bitches, I think) that there was a small group of people outside the hotel protesting the spelling bee. Seemingly, one of them got stabbed a little while ago. No details - just what I heard when I went by.

Trust my rage

Any idea what is objectionable about a spelling bee? Any word about the Indian kid from Utah? I read about him in the nytimes a while back.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I sort of wonder if the LJ staff took everything offline so they could go hide in a dark room for a while.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Any idea what is objectionable about a spelling bee?

According to one of the Spelling Bee blogs I've been following, "the contest has drawn a good sized crowd of protesters who are demanding an increase in the number of words that are spelled phonetically. I kid you not."

I read here that it's a group for the phonetic spelling of words.

The only thing I can think of during this whole spelling bee thing is "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."

You've been the best-looking dude we've had all day
You're a real smart dude as well
Now go home and spell
Give your squeeze some affection
Go on, make a connection
Spell with patience and care
That, dude, is my prayer.

Re: lj, didn't the "We screwed up" message say that some journals would be reinstated "by noon" (no clue which time zone)? Yeah....fun.
