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

I'd choose hospital.

Oh, Marilyn Manson. I lost any respect I might have held for you years ago, but you've been acting like a gigantic tool lately. This is your karmic payback for being a dick to Frank Iero!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

ita, pick hospital.

I have a $25 Amazon gift certificate. What should I buy?

The DVD set of Kitchen Confidential. Screamingly funny.

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 want to know more about Hitler's girlfriend's purse.

Like, are there secret compartments filled with cyanide capsules? Condoms with swastikas on them?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Any mention of Hitler and Eva Braun always brings me to The Producers.

Adolf Elizabeth Hitler?

Oh, Kat-- don't forget you know people on UCLA's medical plans, if that'll help your decision.

Yeah, it's a question about Grace's continuity of care. If I move insurances, then what happens to her? Will they cover her still? Even though it's the same company?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I can't imagine the provenance on Eva Braun's handbag could be very verifiable.

My friend Ian knows a guy who works for an LA hospital and had a sideline on selling medical appliances once used by celebrities, like (made up example!) Johnny Carson's discarded pacemaker, which aside from being unbelievably skeevy, just strikes me as so very subject to fraud, because how do you verify that a certain device came from where he said it did? What's to prevent him from acquiring Joe Blow's dentures and passing them off as Liberace's (madeup example!)

What if it has a name tag that says, "Property of Mrs. Hitler"?

Aw, tommy -- I have some swampland in NJ that you might be interested in purchasing, then.

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

I chose hospital. And now I have to get off the blackberry, because I can't focus right now.

Fucking stupid head.

Oh- I have a book about the sex lives of great dictator (is ignominious to be dominated by "lesser" dictator?), and all I can remember about Adolph, is skeeve but not specifics. I can look it up should I ever go back home.
