It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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

This is creepy. Surveillance video of a train/car accident. A woman was driving her two kids through a parking lot. You can see she's driving fast, trying to beat a freight train to a railroad crossing. She just makes it, but then gets hit by a train going in the other direction, which knocks her minivan into the path of the train she was trying to beat.

Her two daughters were killed, and she's badly injured.

FYI, there's nothing at all graphic in the video.

What an idiot, though. That's, like, the stupidest driving I've ever seen. You don't race a freaking train!

Reading that awful kind of thing makes me wish that brain bleach was real.

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

Bazan said she is a good mother

I say she's a twat.

I feel terrible for those kids, both the ones that died and the survivors, but I have zero sympathy for the mother.

I decided to order a pizza from a nearby Dominos. Oddly, their smallest pizza is a medium (12").

I fear I shall soon have too much pizza.

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

Would that we were there to eat if off your neck.

(Really, that would be a MUCH messier game)

Jesus. And the two girls were ejected from the van, suggesting they didn't have seatbelts on, either. WTF is wrong with people?
