Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Made me think of tommyrot. Not in a pinko way, though.

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

My first earthquake! I feel all Californian (well, except for the part where I woke up all, "Holy Sh*t, what the hell am I supposed to do again?!).

Welcome to Cali!

Matilda was fussy all night so there wasn't a lot of sleep to begin with.

Then at 4am there was a very loud car crash outside our window. We checked. No bodies in the street so we went back to bad.

Then at 4:45 (or so) the earthquake.

I was waiting for my pillow to turn into a plague of locust at that point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What a bunch of commies. Or terrorist-enablers.

Seriously. Who would want more than one person in power? Too confusing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Cool.

I've heard some similar urban legends. A common one is the woman who is pissed at her husband who is divorcing her, he's out of town and asks her to sell his classic Porsche (or whatever) so she sells it for $20. No one answers her ad, figuring it's a typo. Finally someone does, and is shocked to find that's the actual price.

What gets rid of cellulite? I remember seeing pictures of Britney after she got cleaned up (I lose track of which time) showing she'd gotten rid of hers. But then you look at someone like Posh Beckham (you think her friends call her Posh?) who must be hugely motivated and has nigh every resource at hand. I mean, I thought the picture was doctored at first.

Homer gets around.

I think basically nothing gets rid of cellulite -- it's just about how your fat sits (no matter how little), but maybe lipo can mitigate it temporarily?

Airbrushing photos. There's no evidence that anything gets rid of it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've heard that certain types of deep-tissue massage and laser treatments will get rid of it temporarily, by loosening the fibers holding it into that puckered shape, but nothing gets rid of it permanently.

At a blog I read, someone wondered what Homer was planning on doing with that donut. Perhaps some sort of ring-toss?
