Skippity skippity to respond to this statement from paperdol:

One of my neighbors suddenly got very cold feet about being written about, and has become terribly paranoid, so I'll have to leave her out, which is a crying shame, I tells ya.

That does suck, however I would like to point out that The Smiths declined to be featured in 24 Hour Party People (the movie about the Manchester music scene of the 1980s) and the movie still turned out great!

MSBELLE! Is Mac your son?

I am so out of the loop. In fact, while waiting for people to respond, I've been vanity searching COMM, and I'm so out of the loop that I haven't been funny since 2005.

When you add in James Purefoy's full frontal and it's easy to see why I was such a fan.

I'm thinking I might have to bump it up a little. So to speak.

mac, while being sweet and good tonight. WILL NOT GO TO SLEEP!

That's how they kill you! This is why I'm home alone with my unheated lasagne!

And I just ordered my sister's Hallmark e-card for tomorrow. Which is nowhere near as snarky as the one I sent my mother telling her we were the best gifts she could ever receive.

I think it's time for me to lounge again.

mac (my adorable child) is my son.

I am pretty certain that you have been funny since 2005, just not here.

Is this the existential thingy again?

The election isn't until 2008, which means there won't be a new administration until January 2009.

Ouch. Truly incorrect. And I'm the reason stupid people end up making bumper stickers.

Yeah, but still. I think that's a little harsh.

For one thing, the Nov 08 date is the one most people will recognize. You didn't see "Bush Cheney 05" or "Kerry 05" or ehatever stickers - I'd consider the "4" years an acceptible shorthand. Also, practically speaking, adminstrations end with the election, even if the next one doesn't start until Jan. 'Course, with this bunch, they could be flinging bombs and looting the treasury during the interim.

I'm just pretty sure that life can and does go on outside of b.org and even if it is not chronicled on b.org. CRAZY.

Ah, got it. Very cute, msbelle.

ita, please say hi to your sister for me. It seems like just yesterday she was hiding from the incredibly scary bloodless battles featured in "King Arthur."

I'm just pretty sure that life can and does go on outside of b.org and even if it is not chronicled on b.org. CRAZY.

You don't make any sense.

My brother has a whole theory about squalling infants being adorable even as they squall allowing for the perpetuation of the species.

I'm a good example, being fairly immune to squalling because they are just so cute. Then they trick you with adorkable stories and stuff.

I think their developmental steps are ahead of rational response.
