Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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 think you're not a cougar until you could be his mother.

His mother if I was promiscuous at a young age? Or if I reproduced at some reasonable time? Or perhapse when I personally started having sex?

These are important distinctions.

What do I want for lunch?

I was thinking about getting a burrito, and then I remembered that today is free lunch day. If the free lunch is gross, I have a burrito backup plan.

Jessica, how do I join your team?

Hahahahaha! I'm listening to the principal do announcements and he reminded the kids not to act like fools. He told them that they should be careful because it's slippery and if they play around, they'll have to deal with him.

It sounded funnier than I am explaining.

You can be someone's mother at a young age without being promiscuous.

My friend (who, ftr, is one year younger than me) asked me if I was a cougar the other day because she wanted to see if I might be interested in dating a 26-year old. And I was like, can you be a cougar if you're under 40 (barely, but still). According to Urban Dictionary you are a cougar if you're over 35 and, I guess, into dudes younger than that. I don't know if it specifies how much younger.

Maybe that is why my 35 year old female cow-worker is stressing about dating a 31 year old. If I dated, I wouldn't really think someone was too young for me unless they acted too young for me (or were, you know, under 18). This same coworker is also dating a 50 year old man.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

31 and 35 is totally reasonable! Is she nuts?

What's the rule? Divide by 2 plus 7?

Oh, and when I say "old enough to be his mother," I mean in a possible and general sense -- even though some girls may menstruate at 9, I think "old enough to be his mother" doesn't really start until she's say 13 years older. And even then it's a stretch.

That's what I use too. Mostly to freak out the young people.
