Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

I was just on amazon's top 100 for nonfiction, #97.

Earlier I noticed your sales rank had fallen to four thousand something from three thousand something. Now you're up to #2,736.

You're just all over the place, missy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I hear "hash mark" and immediately think "marching band".

That's what I thought to, but I forget why. And then I thought I was craxy until you just posted.

Sophia is me, but I remember why, also HAH!

call "#" a "hash mark".

Is that what a hash mark is? I though it was just a little line you draw to represent an item, l, which if you get five of them you draw a diagonal like through the llll (and if I was clever, I could think of a way to represent that)

Those are hash marks.

eta: But one of them would still be a hash mark. My brain isn't working so well today....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I hear "hash mark" and immediately think "marching band".

I think, "now, where did I bury my hash?"

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you Aimee! Also, from googling "hash marks" and "marching band" I found the name of the instrument I was given to play in marching band (I played the french horn. It had a different mouthpiece, differant shape, different keys, was pitched in a different key, AND had different fingerings, but my teacher still seemed to think it was one instrument I payed.

It is the Mellophone [link]

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I was thinking of something totally different.

And was wrong about that too. [link]

I had the wrong song.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just on amazon's top 100 for nonfiction, #97.

That's hot.

Sarameg, was the higher bill because of a budget billing shortfall or estimated billing? In both cases, most utilities will let you set up a payment plan.
