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

Oh I'd forgotten there was also a Lumina minivan.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well. The post office found the package this time. But now they tell me I need to sign for it. And that it hadn't been scheduled for redelivery. Even though I've called them four times this week.

...at least they found it?

You can kill them after they deliver it.

OK, to me those cars don't look alike. But I wonder if they could to someone who's not a car geek....

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

All you 365ers need more action shots.

Oh, dear.

I'll have to see what I can do. I fear this.

And I'm mad at Tom Cruise too! TiVo keeps picking up Dawson's Creek episodes and I just feel so bad for Pacey that I can't watch them.

Er, what's the debate, Sox? Is it "wow, why do they feel the need to have strange line breaks in words, and possibly odd kerning?"

I was trying really hard not to be mean to the lady I got on the phone, because I don't want them to "lose" it for another week. I just think that if they'd mentioned on the missed-delivery slip, back on the 5th, that the package was insured and required a signature, I might not be considering homicide right now.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

its hard for me to believe that someone could use them a lot and often without having some bad effects that would make them question what the hell they're ingesting.

Well, HGH doesn't have any major side effects, that I know of. Actually, it's really interesting to me that pro players, who basically have all possible science at their fingertips for the asking, are as clueless and gullible as the general public when it comes to substances and health. They need to perform or else they don't get paid; so they'll do some pretty weird and desperate things if it holds out the (even obviously nonsensical or problematic) claim of helping them perform. Sometimes, it's harmless -- the titanium/nickel necklaces they all wear now, which are supposed to "harmonize your energy" or some shit -- and sometimes it's overdosing on creatine till you rip a tendon.

seriously. this screams typography gimmick to me. and it is hard to navigate - in my mind, death on the web. don't even talk to me about the full justification - that's a print designer thing. just wanted to see what other people thought. someone just sent it to me with "award-winning design" (and I want to kick it back as winningDE/SIGN-award?)
