We put a towel in a box, gave it food and water, and shut it in the laundry room
I think that means you're married in Bahrain.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

No doubt. I guess it'll be spending a couple days in the laundry room, since my father has to be at the hospital two hours away by 10 tomorrow and the SPCA seems to be open noon till 4. Hmm. What to use for a litterbox?
Should've already been in bed, of course. I'm going now.

ita, I find that wearing orthotics and stretching my achilles every day as soon as I get out of bed definitely helps my plantar fasciitis. I should do more of that rolling thing: I used to have a golf ball that was good for that.
But I've stopped buying any shoes without good arch support, which is why even my flip-flops cost over $50 (Chacos).

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
Imagining Rickman as stern daddy seems to have killed the thread.
And the phrase "Rickman as stern daddy" seems to have livened it right up again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have a question. I see references to Carlos Menica in the media as if there is some buzz going on and they advertise The Carlos Mencia Show incessantly on Comedy Central, but I do not know one person who watches it, including my all neicephews. What is his demographic?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was teaching middle school kids last summer, the one Hispanic kid in the class was given the nickname Carlos by the other kids because his accent sounded like Carlos Mencia's. (There was another kid nicknamed Jeff, for reasons I never did figure out.) I'm not sure if they actually watched his show or just heard him on all the commercials during other Comedy Central stuff they watched, though.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
His name isn't actually Carlos Mencia... it's Ned Holdis. He's from somewhere in the northern mid-west. He's an image he has sold to do well with the hispanic Californians.
I don't know anyone that thinks he's better than Chapelle

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 am told that this video is a recent and wildly popular thing in Japan. Here's an English subtitled YouTube of "the butt biting bug song," Oshiri kajiri mushi. Video Link. It gives me acid flashbacks. "Tight asses and hard asses and beaten asses and shriveled asses." In what universe do these constitute appropriate lyrics for children's music?
