I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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

Maybe I'll try to flash underwear as I get out of the car if that'll help.

Underwear is so New York.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They did the donuts thing last year.

THAT's how good an idea it is!

Painting pumpkins is a good idea, too.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The engineers are intrigued by the idea of a pinata.

Dave Sims showed he went off the rails a while back

I wanted to get a copy of the Cerebus issue that made his assistant quit (if I remember right). Er, as a Christmas present for a friend. Long story. Anyway, I didn't know the #, so I asked the guy at the comic shop if they still had copies of "the one with the insane Sim rant" and as we both started laughing, he said I needed to be more specific.

ION, before heading home Daniel gave me a lecture about how he wanted me to be happy. Which has depressed me. I would like a refund for my brain.

Making a pinata: [link]

I made one once. I made it a bit too sturdy and it finally had to be beaten to death on the ground.

They had a pinata at my grandmother's birthday party, but it was empty! Bummer.

That's just cruel.

The last krav birthday party I attended had a pinata. I'm a little surprised no one was killed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My MiL has a pumpkin pinata, I'm guessing she got it from Target or maybe Ralphs.

Yeah, there was almost serious property damage at the last adult party I went to with a pinata. OK, it was a one year old's birthday party, but that meant most of the guests were adults, and the birthday boy wasn't so much with the blindfold and the stick.
