I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Thing is, the reaction can apparently come completely out of the blue. Other thing is, I've been known to have taken a fuckload of acetaminophen and enjoyed a tipple or five, and I'm here to tell about it.

...still not reassured.

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

My boss asked me what my hours were this week for this project I'm on. I was wracking my brain trying to remember what I did on Monday. I even checked file modification dates and found stuff from last week and Tuesday through today....

Finally I remembered the holiday.

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

If people living through doing it doesn't reassure you Dana, I'm not sure what will. Don't do it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Heh. I've done that, tommy.

ita, I thought you might like this from New York Fugging City

At Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. show, both of our fondest wishes came true: The clothes were totally fun, and little Kingston — all blinged out in what appeared to be bedazzled jeans, like the biggest badass in the sandbox — made an appearance, bouncing on dad Gavin Rossdale's lap in the front row.

Seriously, there's nothing quite like hearing a crowd of jaded fashionistas fail to contain their baby glee. The instant Mr. Stefani sidled out from backstage with his son, a semi-muffled "awww" filled the air, the entire room struggling to maintain its collective poker face. Even rapper Eve couldn't restrain herself from tickling him and cooing.

I can't believe there's someone who got paid to write this headline. Not that it's a bad headline. Just that it's surreal. And yet? I can see how a) you know it's true and b) people need to be warned.

DJ! I saw the cutest picture from that. Gwen's in a lovely big houndstooth mini dress, Kingston's on her hip and looking adorable as always, and she looks perfectly done, except not too perfect to be carrying her young son.

I saw an article on that, but the headline lacked the specific dollar amount of the warning....

So I was checking to see if Johnny Carson is dead (he is), and he was married four times. His first three wives were named Joan, Joanne, and Joanna. I guess he finally learned his lesson with number 4, Alexis.

That does sound adorable! I love the image I get from the second paragraph. Cute babies will unite us all!

As for your link...Gah! Have those women never seen The Vagina Monologues?
