Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Because books.

Please enjoy this recipe, one of many such recipes that originated in the great City of New York that changed the world inexorably, spun out of the late 19th century like a fruit bat in the night, like molten sparks of intense flavor combinations thrown from morsels bent on conquering unsettled and restless tongues, or whatever.

Like a fruit bat in the night! I just got tea up my nose.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Indianapolis is really kind of a manufactured city.

OK, I definitely got that vibe in the couple of times I've been there (briefly), so I'm glad to hear it from someone who knows.

Those Jabbawockees seem like nice boys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching the Child Star show on VH1, and it's kind of shocking how the parents are disregarding (a) an actual casting person, and (b) Danny freaking Bonaduce! I guess they just truly believe that he was a natural fuck-up, unlike their little darlings.

Well, you gotta agree that it's hard to take Danny Bonaduce seriously.

Except on the topics of how to become a child star and how to fuck up your career! IJS.

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

I thought that was the Different Strokes kids.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I don't know -- none of them would be the worst person in the world to give advice on how to become a child star. They were pretty good at that. For advice on what to do once a child star grows up, yeah, any one of our cats could do better.
