And perhaps we are all here to make bar bets.
Possibly. Then again, there are those who believe that the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about.
Now I'm worried there will be a religious war between the Bar Betters and the Hokey Pokeys....

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

All I knew was that I wasn't voting for this guy.
Heh. I come home to 4-5 campaign phone calls on my answering machine. I didn't get any calls from O'Malley, though! Just candidates' mothers and best-friend's uncle's dog's first owner, or something. It's annoying.

Punishingly Intricate
I didn't get any candidate calls this year because I only have a cell phone now!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Catholics will be glad to know that Gibson's sect is not recognized by the Catholic church
Seriously, you have no idea how glad. Or, at least, this particular Catholic is very very glad. I dislike him so very much that, the last times I watched, it interfered with the otherwise tremendous pleasures of Mad Max and Chicken Run. It's a great relief to have him offa my spiritual lawn.

Dude, you lucked out! I have a cell phone, plus no elections coming up anytime soon, and I've still been pestered with earnest calls from our mayor's office asking if he can count on my support in the (somewhat distant, thus far virtually unopposed) election.

Happy Birthday, Trudy!
A fit of nostalgia hit me when I was looking for new sneakers at the shoe store, so it's back to the 70s for me.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
No problems, tommyrot! I should have gone to the History channel website and gotten the info I was misremembering before going off and posting half-cocked (speaking of weaponry terminology!).
I'm going gym shoe shopping on my lunch break! I have to pick up a pair to wear at my salsa aerobics class tonight (my ancient pair of Payless sneakers have given up the ghost, and were leaking like a sieve last night--they're still wet this morning), so I'm heading over to Famous Footwear and seeing what I can find. I'm currently wearing my new pair of NurseMates to see if they're comfortable enough for me to wear to the bookstore. So far, they haven't cut off the circulation to my toes, so I'm hoping these will be large enough. I can't go any bigger on these (12W is it), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've also got my dress shoes for my sister's wedding to try on.

So here's a weird question.
You know those drawers in a library that are real thin and come in a wee stack? What are those called?
