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

Damn. [link]

From a bunch of photos after the bridge collapse. [link]

If you go here and zoom in [link] it looks like you can just see a bit of a truck that lies crushed and burning on the other side of a huge girder.

On a lot of these, they get creapier the more you zoom in....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

women can choose to wear a uniform like wardrobe though, plain colored pants or skirt and polo shirts is what some women do wear everyday. We are just used to much more variety, I think.

I worked with a woman who had 3 pairs of the same style black pants and 3 pairs of the same style grey pants. That is virtually all she wore to work year round.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Where as for me, it's "Ok, this skirt and this top...wait...doesn't match. Where's the matching top? Fuck, dirty cause I wore it with jeans. Kay. These pants, and this top. Nope, this shirt is too short for these pants. Ok, this shirt. Nope, too bloated today. Finally, this shirt ok. These pants, this shirt. Shoes...shoes....ok, these shoes. Nope, heel falling off. These shoes - nope. Meeting today, should wear something more dress. These shoes? Scuffing on the side (color shoe with Sharpie). Scuffing fixed. Ok. Acessories...."

Heh -- for me it's jeans or black pants, black t-shirt, shoes, watch. (Or, lately, "whatever shirt is clean that I can breastfeed in public while wearing," which is a much smaller group to choose from.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I feel like, with a woman, that this seems more like making a statement and the other women would point and laugh. I know women who make sure to say they are not wearing the SAME black pants if they wear two pairs in the same week.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Today I'm wearing stripey pajama pants and a white t-shirt. No bra. But I am unemployed for 2 more weeks and slounging around at home.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I have a couple guayabera-like shirts that I wear to work. Again, nobody has ever scolded me. Probably because a blue and white shirt with black slacks and black loafers isn't ridiculous.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"Ok, this skirt and this top...wait...doesn't match. Where's the matching top?

This is why I wear all black all the time. Okay, not really, but it does make that whole issue a lot less stressful.

Yup, plain slacks, a few button down shirts in solid colors to rotate, I'm good to go. Shoes? Nikes.

But I'm fasion impaired, according to most people.

Speaking only for myself (since I am essentially that woman) - huh? What statement? Nobody's ever pointed or laughed at me either.
