It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For those having a bad day, I bring you... a dog on a water slide! [link]

The water slide is pretty short. The dog keeps riding it over and over.

At the very end something kinda' funny happens.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Cool skirt!

I fall or stupidly hurt myself all the time. I am Cass-like in my need for bubble wrap. And yet? I was dancing with our friend S last night who was flinging me all over the place and have nary a scratch from that.

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

Yom Hoolledet same'akh, Nilly!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FLEA!!!

shirft, I am sorry people have been pissing all over things you like, and I'm sorry if I helped contribute to that pissing. Does the current MCR fandomplosion help amuse at all? (IS there one? I just kinda figured, what with GWay's marriage being confirmed....)

Daisy! No falling!!!

Aw, I'll miss Pavarotti.

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

Poor, Daisy. Please don't wreck your tendons or your face, okay?

Happy birthday, Nilly! How late does it occur on the Western calendar? That is, when it moves around, would it ever move around enough to land on Emmett (9/23) or Matilda's (9/26) birthday?

Happy birthday, flea! I hope you get treats galore.

I told my boss that he overpaid me and he said it's their policy to pay for every hour worked regardless of exempt/non-exempt status. That's crazy but I LOVE IT!

That IS crazy, but whee, free money!

Always Anti-fascist!

Happy Nilly and flea day. I think my birthday is on Rosh Hashana a lot. Also, the start of the new TV season, but even I don't consider that with the same magnitude.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I wasn't dissing it; I seriously didn't know that scantily clad women attended it.

There are a lot of scantily clad women at Dragon*Con. And quite a few scantily clad men. It can be a family friendly convention, but you really have to work at it.

Perhaps my problem is that I don't know what fandom that is.

Er. For every Captain Jack Sparrow and Stormtrooper and Marvel Girl, there are about 50 costumes I don't recognize, so you're not alone.

shrift, I am sorry people have been pissing all over things you like, and I'm sorry if I helped contribute to that pissing.

Oh, it's not you guys. It's just that every once in a while, I get tired of defending why I like things. I'll just kick back and watch the US Open and a backlog of MythBusters episodes until it passes.

Does the current MCR fandomplosion help amuse at all?

Oh, that quickly got subsumed by something even more ridiculous. It's probably already up on fandom_wank by now.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I need tips on shoulder flexibility.

You know this stretch: [link] ? Yeah, I can't do it. I can't even lift my clasped hands this high: [link] .

What's a good stretch (other than that one, obviously) that would help open up my shoulders so I can lift my arms higher behind my back?

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

Yeah, I can't do it. I can't even lift my clasped hands this high:

Maybe you have that disease where you're slowly ossifying.

We can always use you as a mannequin.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

That was a conservative costume compared to the woman who attended as Aeon Flux.

I felt all prudish thinking to myself that those sorts of costumes shouldn't be on the floor on Sunday afternoon what with the little kids and all.

There was a family (parents, a baby, and a toddler) all dressed like The Incredibles and it was adorkable.

I'm getting meaner by the day, BTW. I mean, seriously MEAN. I've somehow lost the ability to tolerate stupid.
