The brain is a funny old thing, sometimes. One of my classmates spent time in Africa with the Peace Corps, and said he had the most amazingly vivid dreams and nightmares while on malaria-prevention medication. Why ALL of that kind of medication is notorious for affecting sleep that way, nobody knows, he says.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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
Guess who's sitting next to me because I'm not letting him out of my sight until he's 21.
I think SOMEBODY wants to be a pie...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
yeah, cashmere. I'm reminded at times like this that I couldn't be a parent, for I would be in jail.

Now tagless for your comfort.
At least they'll replace it for no charge. I just have to run down to the cable company's office and pick it up.
If it were this one, there might be child abuse involved.

Good lord, Cashmere -- I understand the impulse to take something apart, but WHY shred a part of it?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Very impressive work, Cashmere. How long did it take him?
ION, I am soooooo sleepy right now. My nose nearly landed on my keyboard a few minutes ago! I think I'll head over and get a Diet Coke for the caffeine.

He has oral texture issues. He will shred paper, cardboard and all sorts of things if I let him. He's pretty bad about putting toys and clothing in his mouth and I have to watch him carefully.
It's why we had the problems with the cat litter. I just really can't take my eyes off him for too long a period.
How long did it take him?
As long as it took me to go pee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have to say, I was recently able to take apart a small boombox (as part of a science-eduation training/demo type thing), and it was freaking awesome. So satisfying!

Some kids are just shredders (a friend of mine was. me, I tend to roll things up..) Plus I can see the appeal of streeeetch-pop and chewing on the rubber.
xpost, honest!

That kid should be an assassin.
Get in, get out, shred the evidence.
