La Llorona was the cautionary tale to dissuade kids from trying to swim in the river and irrigation ditches. On the scale of freaking kids out, it's along the lines of Bloody Mary in a dark elementary bathroom: highly effective and nightmare inducing. And now there's a park! Cracks me up again.
Maybe I've always been here.

Via Boing Boing [link] Really, really bad lawyering ( A real estate lawyer tries act as a copyright attorney to stop a rental service from renting a DVD they bought. Because what the rental service did was completely legal, the lawyer soon descends to making jokes about the owner's height, to challenging the rental service owner to a streetfight, to accusing him of pedophilia ect... )
The links below are multiple blog entries as the lawyer descends further.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've heard of La Llorona before--I fear it was cheesy sci fi. Possibly Mutant X. Heh.
Just watched an episode of Graham Norton. Watched it because Orlando Bloom was appearing, but was totally enchanted by Samantha Morton. She's so fucking regular--it's hysterical. Graham's a hoot. Not a weekly sort of a hoot, but bully for him for making the fun fag image profitable. He's certainly working it.

Two recent questions/comments from a recent interviewer ( to a 25 yr old - internal interview)

Trained monkeys could do this job, I just care about team work. ( ummm... if you think of your team as trained monkeys don't be surprised if they throw feces at you )

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
There is a waiter at the neighborhood wofty pizza place that I need to box up and send to shrift. She'd love him and make him sleep with other hot boys and he'd love that, it's totally win/win.
Context? If you insist. meara (I CAN HAS meara?) and I grabbed dinner there.
But the point is? shrift should totally have this guy.
