Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Aimee!

Kathy, you did the right thing -- questioning the transactions immediately or sooner. If the bank wants you to follow up with a written claim, do so right away. You might want to close that account and open up a new account with a different number -- your bank should be able to do that for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is so random, but I'm watching an old 80s game show (Blockbusters -- love the Bill Cullen), and at that time, Iran was the country that sent the most foreign students to US universities. Must have been right around the revolution.

move out and draw fire

I play a mean Pianosaurus.

We watched a tape of MST3K from 1991 last night. Man has advertising changed. More to the point, Joel and the bots made a theremin reference.

I LOVE the giant legoman. I love that it just shows up.

Sadly I'm watching Dodgeball.

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

Sweet! I've got an ocarina, MIDI French horn, etch-a-sketch rhythm machine, pianosaurus and sumi on glockenspiel (freeform).

This band ploinks!

I'm really good at playing the ratchet - it is a great addition to any rhythm section

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

In other exciting news, Emmett and I sang the Spider-Pig song all the way home from the East Bay.

Emmett declares the line, "No he can't / he's a pig" to be comedy genius.

Have you guys seen this? It's a crazy lion/buffalo throwdown, with some alligators in a cameo.

I was watching it and saw the lions settle down after fighting off the croc and I thought, "Hey, we're only half-way through the video, what else--WTFOMG!" as the camera pulls back and you see this whole *army* of water buffalo standing there saying, "You took our calf. Give it back."
