I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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?

Freecreditreport.com is not that federally sponsored one.

Aside from the fact that they're not actually free, they're also a fairly toxic earworm. Those people have a lot to answer for.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Which has root beer schnapps as one of its ingredients. I didn't know such a thing existed!

It does, and is repulsive. I had a bottle of it for a decade, but finally left it with a friend a couple months ago. I expect he tossed it when he moved back to Montreal.

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

Irritating morning so far this morning.

And it was irritating before I even got here.

We have some urgent deadlines. Okay. My bit? I did mostly a long time agon, and until you implement it, I can't easily tell what else I have to do. Also, stop trying to push extra work back onto me. It's rude, and you're not right.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I know! Also the federal government is stupid. "Where do I go to get my new free credit report? Oh, annual credit report dot com! Naturally!"

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

Would this be more of a news story if it was "man bites beheaded snake"? Or "beheaded man bites snake"?

"Man bites beheaded snake" is really just "Man eats lunch, tastes just like chicken."

"Beheaded man bites snake" is worthy of World Weekly News.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously. They're almost as bad as the HPV vaccine people. I'm always singing that freaking song.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, DJ! Much obliged.

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

Cute babies! Yay!

Em, we miss you.

Tep - what are the details of the hanging out with SF peeps? SF peeps would like to know! Also, tell The Boy that I rode into work today, and my baby's purring like a charm. However, my INSANE cat decided to scratch up one side of the visor. Freak.

OK, here's an awesome answer from Carolyn Hax's online chat at washingtonpost.com:

Slowly aging out of the system...: So I'm a 30-plus single guy confused about what I want out of a partner. I'm young enough to get the hot twenty-something body, but old enough to actually enjoy some common sense and maturity. I date one; I want the other. I get the other, I long for the former. Confused yet? I sure am.

Any guidance on how to balance these competing (and to my mind, completely valid) desires?

Carolyn Hax: SEE THEM AS NOT COMPETING. Physical and internal attractiveness are NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

oh never mind.

Alternate.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

You'd think they'd look for photos without stubble.

This.

Heh. I actually think the picture of Hugh Laurie is HOTT just the way it is. Seriously.

Apparently Jim Carrey is as ugly of a woman as he is a man.

And damn -- Leonardo Dicaprio looks like Marge Schott in that picture. Seriously.
