My husband gets to leave work at noon. Hmph.
I'm probably leaving at 1:30. Which, uh, means that I probably should finish revising this story and find a title, huh?
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Um... Animals in (whatever shithole town) are not allowed to relieve themselves in public, even if they are fenced in on private land????
I do not think those words mean what the city council thinks they mean.

Dear MM,
If you're taking Christmas orders, I would like the nuclear thingamajob. And shrift. And if Suzi would let me borrow the transporter, I swear no one (whom we know) will get cut.
I've been mostly good. I've been grammatically correct. And I've used 'pejorative' and 'suck' in the same sentence.
oh, and I would like a faster-working St. Joseph's statue puh-leeze. Mine's busted.
Sincerely, sox

I love this quote from the woman who owns the goats:
“I kind of thought if anyone was caught having sex in public, it could have been me,” Carol Medenhall said.
And yes, the Dibble city council needs to attend a Dictionary 101 class if they think "on private land" and "in public" are the same place.

What if you have a TV that you can see through a window that's showing Animal Planet. Does that count?

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

Well, in the future this won't be a problem, as we will soon have the technology to digitally add underpants to all animals on TV.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
VAIL, Colo. (Dec. 21) - A 60-year-old man is taking an 8-year-old boy and his dad to court, claiming the boy caused a ski-slope collision that left the older man with a shoulder injury.
Seriously?

Lemme guess - the boy is named Dennis Mitchell and the 60-year-old is George Wilson?
