Between the fact that the iThumb dude story originates in one of those freebie papers that gets spammed to every mailbox in town, all the other versions are direct copies of that bit with no other reporting, and the fact that the guy has trouble opening jars since his hands have been made effeminate, I'm just waiting on Snopes.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Amych is right. Sounds a lot like those stories about women who cut off their toes to wear pointy shoes. Classic urban legend material.

Is there a sorting hat?
There's only the students with checks that clear and students with checks that don't.
Actually, last week in a meeting I heard that 147 (out of about 300) students hadn't turned in their shot records, which could keep them from being fully, officially registered.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. Plus it's one of those stories that will spread like crazy as part of a sorta' iPhone backlash.

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

Why are these rules so hard to follow???

Last night I was cooking naked. sighhhh...
Cass heard the squeal when I jolted the pot and splashed.
Oh, so naked AND on the phone.
Probably a rule about that one too, huh?

K-Bug's bf and his family headed East on Wednesday for a family wedding. I found out last night that they actually went to DC to do the tourist thing before going wherever the wedding is for the weekend.
Apparently they were complaining about driving around DC. Hah - park and take the Metro, my brain said. I felt like I had a clue.
Then it made me think about my trip to DC, which in turn made me miss all the DC'istas I got to spend time with.

I googled "Thomas Martel" - I found a number of matches, but all had the North Denver News story as their source.
I also googled the Dr. (Robert Fox Spars) and the only matches were for this story.

So the story didn't come from a legit news source? Yeah that's a pretty big red flag.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Work is so stupid. We have three junior people in our department. All at the same time, two are in trouble for talking too much during the day (they're friends outside work), and the higher-ups are concerned that the third one isn't "fitting in." Well, yeah, it looks that way because she doesn't sit around chatting all day. Christ. Also, she hates people in general, so she's not super chatty or whatever.
