These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Aww, Breyer is going to make a Teddy O'Connor model.

Awesome!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

One of the students at the theatre has done a lot of exploring in my area. I think some of his pictures are here but it is a fairly secretive thing. I thought it seems fascinating, and would have loved to do it, but I was assured that I was not at all physically fit enough.

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

Haunting.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I remember the Rochester Psychiatric Center. It's creepy.

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

Yeah, abandoned mental hospitals have a special creepy factor, I think. So many people were basically tortured in them.

Here's a great rundown on New York City Daredevils.

My fav is the guy who parachuted off the Empire State Building and eluded police on the ground simply by hopping in a cab.

The more I think about it, the more I'm boggled by the guy who walked a highwire between the Twin Towers. The winds must have been so high up there.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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.

In many ways, my summer wardrobe is a uniform. I have multiples of dresses in the same style; the only thing that is different about them is how much and what sort of trimmings are on them. And my skirts are all the same basic shape/style, just in different fabrics, trims, and amount of ruffles.

Tom, they are demolishing a lot of that right now, and it sort of makes me sad. I like the old buildings and wish we could keep some of them. "They" have also knocked down a lot of homes in not-so nice neighborhoods and put up really shiny, cheap, affordable houses that are now falling apart. It seems like it would be just as easy to fix up the old, sturdy houses, but what do I know

I'm overthinking everything and shorting out. Why?!!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

So, not to interrupt dress code and creepy mental hospital talk, but can I ask a hypothetical?

Say you happened to beat the everliving crap out of your baby toe. (Not on purpose.) And it was sore a lot a lot, and you decided to cut your toenail on the vague impression that it might fall off anyway. And when you cut your toenail, you discovered a reservoir of fresh blood under the nail. Still liquid, even, a day later.

Am I going to die of toe cancer?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yes. Yes, you are. You should cut your whole foot off to avoid dying tomorrow.
