I like American Girls in theory, but they're kind of like the Bugaboo strollers of the doll world to me -- yes, the quality is high enough to justify the price, but on the other hand there has to be a better way to spend that much money. I wouldn't object to getting either as a gift, but I can't ever see buying one myself.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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

Tom, I'd classify no-broken-picture-tube as a mitigated disaster -- it could have been a lot worse, including bleeding, et cetera.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Theo's got a point, Tom. Still, ugh!
Having a Tasty Kake for breakfast isn't a really bad thing, is it? Especially when you wake up feeling extra-special gronky...?
I had a slice of pizza, so I say go for it.

How did you know that I am looking at Bugaboo strollers right now?
I'd love Pizza for breakfast. I think I'll I have chili over spaghetti instead. Or a leftover pork sandwich.

I had the slice of cheesecake I couldn't eat last night...

You know what? Watching "Dick in a Box" STILL makes me giggle uncontrollably. Hee!
Hee. Still giggling.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Hmmm, doing the pseudo-single thing these last few days has meant getting a lot of uninterrupted sleep and eating stuff that isn't very good for me. Ah, well, back to normalcy soon.

Particularly if it was a very old TV set, whose picture tubes tended to explode like bombs rather than just shattering. My dad used to be a TV repairman, and he has seen a TV set blow the corner off a house when it was struck by lightning. He also once began the digging of a well by shooting an old Zenith placed at the appropriate spot, and got a several foot head start.
