But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What are they now? "We're really sorry"?

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

What are they now? "We're really sorry"?

Heh. That crossed my mind.

Sorry about that
Won't happen again....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, sort of. They adopted the third verse of the anthem, which was the least militaristic and bombastic.

Unity and justice and freedom
For the German fatherland;
For these let us all strive,
Brotherly with heart and hand.
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the pledge of happiness.

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

I am pretty much anti butt cleavage as a fashion statement, but that may because my first and still strongest associations with it have to do with portly males who wear their pants low on their hips not as fashion so much as a way of avoiding their beer gut.

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

What are they now? "We're really sorry"?

The "I Was Not a Nazi Polka?"

Each and ev'ry German dances to the strain
Of the I Was Not a Nazi Polka.
All without exception join in the refrain
Of the I Was Not a Nazi Polka.

Goering wasn't crazy; he wanted to deport.
Sing the I Was Not a Nazi Polka.
We all thought that Dachau was just a nice resort.
Sing the I Was Not a Nazi Polka.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Dana, I should thank you for initially raving about QI on this thread. That totally encouraged me to check it out and I LOVE IT.

I wish I could check it out; it sounds highly entertaining. And enlightening.

In news of me - I just tried to send an e-thank you card through Hallmark, but it wouldn't go to a confirmation page. So I clicked again, and no go. So I wen to another card and tried again. Nope. So I went over to Blue Mountain - that one went through fine.

Then I checked my e-mail and found five confirmation e-mails from Hallmark. Ha! See, I'm really, super, special grateful. (I mean, I actually am, but even so...)

Art Crawl!!!

Whew. Just came back from running my walk around town errands. Now feeling much to exhausted and legweary to contemplate doing the take the bus out to the place with all the stores errands.

But I have mailed a package, finally picked up my contact lenses AND new contact lens crap to keep them clean and bought the "lotus pink" yarn I want for my next knitting project PLUS the bonus of longer needles than the ones I currently have. (I now have 2.5 pairs of #8 needles - I had a nice long pair of #8s, somehow managed to lose one, bought another set of #8 - this pair quite a bit shorter - which is annoying and now have a new pair of longer #8s.) I also have a new future knitting project in mind: one of my friend's is expecting a baby in May - it's kind of a miracle due to female troubles of one sort or another and I want to knit a nice lightweight baby blanket for the future little one. They live in SoCal so I'm thinking cotton will be okay, what do you guys think?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Washable cotton is never a bad choice for baby gear!

Oh, and also, I've been remiss, so:

Happy Birthday to any and all people I have missed lately!
