If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I spent the holidays mostly at home playing with the baby. I highly recommend this course of action to others.

At my mother's, I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. It's the only place they'll leave me alone.

Having grown up in a house with 5 other people and one bathroom, this does not work at my parent's house. If I'm in the bathroom my sisters and mother will barge right in. It's crazymaking.

I hope y'all had a great NYE. I was at my friend's house in the country playing games with them and their friends. I am still bitter that they wouldn't allow "British English" as a legit language in Scattergories. Especially when the two expats repeatedly had to explain some of the Brit slang they were trying to use as words.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Report from the field: Bacon Salt is excellent in mashed potatoes. If there was any question.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Bacon Salt is also excellent on boiled eggs.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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

how words in "unrelated" languages could only have identical sound and sense by "coincidence."

If Jesus Christ can't get everyone around the globe to agree that a rooster says "Cockadoodledoo," then the terrorists will win.

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

Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock sayeth "Cockadoodledoo" , thou shalt deny me thrice. No really, they say "Cockadoodledoo," Dad-dammit!

In French, they say "Cocorico." In Greek, it's "Kikiriki."

To my ear, it actually sounds more like "Er Er ERRRRRRR!"

It was good on scrambled eggs as well! Yay bacon salt! (Even though if -- don't tell anyone -- I still think it's just smaller bac-os.)

So my brother called to wish me a happy new year. In the background, D was going "Grrr. Ahrg." over and over. He's obsessed with the Grrr. Ahrg. monster from the Firefly credits.

I gave my brother the Firefly series for xmas. Somehow, he hadn't seen it, but rented the movie and had told me I HAD to see it, that it was awesome. "Uh, you know there's a series. That you gave me on DVD a couple xmasses ago?" "NO WAY!"

He loves it. Even if he only managed so far to see the first eps on every disk because he had lost the dvd remote and somehow didn't realize there was more than one ep on every disk. Buh? Sometimes, he is odd.
