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

Is "experimental fashion designer" sorta' like "conceptual artist"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The slide show of that is awesome -- I especially love the little kid with the phone booth backpack. It's definitely conceptual art, which I tend to like only when it's funny. Like this!

Apparently my grandmother in San Diego County got evacuated ahead of the fire. Yikes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

"You stupid fucking moron. How could you risk your presidency for this?"-to Bill when the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke in January 1998 (Newsmax.com, 12/09/01).

This sounds perfectly reasonable to me. The ones with the ethnic slurs aren't pretty, however. (I have no idea if they're actually true or not, either. A lot of them come from the Secret Service, which, I thought... they kept... secrets? Maybe not.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

Oh yeah, no possibility of that plan backfiring.

Yes, but they're also a service. So if you don't pay your Secret Service bill, your secrets don't get kept.

And I've heard this one

"You stupid fucking moron. How could you risk your presidency for this?"

before. So that one at least I figure is probably true.

I'm not surprised she has a potty mouth in general.

OK, so I'm reading the cnn.com story about the SoCal fires/evacuations, and come across this:

The winds driving the flames are expected to stay strong, coming out of the northeast, at least through Tuesday, according to CNN meteorologist Rob Marciano.

And all I can think is, "Boston Rob is a meteorologist now?!?"

Edit: Ah, google tells me his last name is actually Mariano, so I was close but no cigar.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Corwood, I am so sorry for your loss.

Corwood, very sorry for your family's loss. Knowing it's coming doesn't make it any easier upon arrival.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had a crown put on today.(actually, a temporary crown. I have to go back in two weeks for the permanent one) I took the rest of the day off since I figured I'd either have have my face feeling numb, or my jaw would be aching all day. Then I managed to smack my knee hard on the doorframe coming in, and no, I'm not sure how I did that one. Now it hurts.
