Now tagless for your comfort.

Aimee, that's HILARIOUS! Thanks for the link. I am a little amazed at how well Jason Alexander moves--especially when he's on that guitar.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Isn't it awesome! And, as usual, William Shatner cracks my shit UP.

The Tramp Stamp showed up on the latest Robot Chicken. Suddenly this term is everywhere!

I want my funky new glasses to arrive so I can be all hip and stuff.

I'm guessing my granfathers were either too young, too old or too broken already for both world wars. I really have no idea.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Okay, this is just weird! I Googled my grandfather's name and got the obit for his brother, who died last year. This was in the obit:

Mr. Lawrence was a Navy veteran of World War II who participated in numerous invasions in the South Pacific, including the liberation of the Philippines.

The construction of this sentence cracked my shit up:

He was a native Augustan and a Catholic.

BTW, I just learned more from his obit (a measly paragraph) than my parent ever told me. That's just not right.

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

Oh my....

Furries vs Klingons bowling tournament this Sat in Atlanta

This Saturday, Atlanta's Midtown Bowl will see the second annual Klingons vs Furries bowling tournament, in a mighty subcultural clash. It's like Quadrophenia with furrs and trekkers instead of mods and rockers.

My grandfather was an army Chaplin in the pacific during WWII. We just had lunch with him and my grandmother this weekend. I was amazed to see him walking without his cane since he just fractured his hip three months ago. Pretty good for a 92 year old guy.

From my grandmother's obit:

She majored in Fine Arts at Ohio State University and joined the Women's Army Corps during World War II, serving as cartographer. She created "Yolanda Yardbird"-the female version of Sad Sack-for the corps, and it was depicted weekly across the globe from the Army newspapers of Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
