"Aimee's face would make a freight train take a dirt road."
I can't even figure out what that means and I still want to stab him.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Huh. And I was just lauding the local power company for subsidizing cfl bulbs. We paid about half for ours. Yet to see how they hold up, because the power isn't on to the house yet.

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

Dog retrieves his best friend - a cat buried in the garden
A pet dog missed the family’s dead cat so much that he dug up his grave and brought the body back into the house.
When Oscar’s owners woke up the next morning they discovered the dog curled up beside Arthur, the late cat, in his basket.
...
“Then he pulled him into the basket and went to sleep next to him. Arthur’s coat was gleaming white. Oscar had obviously licked him clean. It must have taken him nearly all night.”
Arthur is now reburied in a secure grave. And Oscar has a new playmate, a kitten called Limpet.

Liese, the problem is here in Baltimore, you can get them at THREE locations. Only three. Not three retailers. Three actual stores. For savings equivalent to the fare it costs to take the damned bus out to one of those locations.
It isn't a discount, and I resent BGE for calling it that. It's a subsidy. They can charge me forty cents a month for breathing if they want. But they need to be prepared to take shit for it and not act like they are doing me some damned favor.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Why are there stupid people? And how do they get hired into technical positions about which they have absolutely. no. fucking. clue?

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

That is just too sweet, really.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's kinda Pet Sematary.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I just saw that over at TWOP, and it is both really really sweet, and kind of hysterically funny.
ETA: I mean the way they described Keith Olbermann describing the event was funny, in a sort of "Dogs in Elk" sort of way.
