Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Huh, I wonder. She has been spending a lot of time on it. How quickly does that pass, do you think?

Oh, a column about Brits doing bad American accents!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Check out these cool tiles!

I like the microbus one! (Well, I say that only b/c The Boy is a microbus fan, having owned 3 consecutive microbuses back in the day, and his birthday is in 3-ish weeks and I had no idea what to get him, but this is a cool idea!)

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

Yeah, I have to say The Unit is much less fun than it used to be, and I see it dropping off my season pass list pretty soon.

My TiVo hates F/X. Second week in a row it's failed to grab Damages.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

How quickly does that pass, do you think?

For me, about two weeks. You could try increasing the air circulation.

Of course, it could just be that she's trying to tell you that she hates the carpet.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am going to consider losing my shit if the comparisons to Hurricane Katrina don't stop. I know the media has to talk about something, but how does it possibly do anyone any good to compare the situations?

I think idiot statements are part and parcel with the "we must cover breaking events twenty four seven even if we have nothing new to say." Honestly, how many times can Charlie Gibson (or whatever talking head is handy) stand not-too-close to all hell breaking loose and say "all hell is breaking loose"?

Happy birthday, Kate! Do something self indulgent today, okay?

Who wants to help me with Emmett's math homework?

Using any combination of mathematical operations make the number 42 from four 6's.

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

Tim's in Santa Clarita. I keep checking to make sure he's not on fire.

I woke up with a bloody nose, again. The air here is so freakin' DRY. I haven't been watching any news coverage of the fires, just checking the paper to see where it's burning, but I did see the comparison in the LA Times just a minute ago. It's...oddly distasteful, and they don't seem to recognize that.
