Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

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

Ugh. I cannot find my umbrella. Don't wanna go to work. Wanna stay home and sip hot cocoa. Also, need some no mudslidema from griffith park.

Punishingly Intricate

Although Maryland is where the majority of mad scientists come from

Bwah! I'll have to remember to tell that to all my scientist friends here!

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

From PZ Myers:

A reader sent me an example of religious kitsch, but just to be on the safe side, I'm going to have to put it below the fold. There's nothing obscene about the work in question, but I dare you to look at it and not have wildly inappropriate thoughts skitter through your brain.

Worksafe. In the sense that the item in question is made for children.

So far, I seem to be avoiding maddening any scientists today. So far. turns self into pretzel

I'm going to need more coffee before we start with the Jesus porn.

This is what PZ Myers has to say about her:

Ken Cope, a regular commenter here (come on, you guys all know him) sent along some cephalopodian artwork a friend of his does. After browsing a bit, it was sinking in: Ken is friends with an animation artist and roller derby star, one who wins awards for most penalties in a season no less, and who paints toilet seats for fun. How cool is that?

Check out this lovely bit of toilet seat art: [link]

Worksafe, but perhaps borderline for the paranoid....

I heard that too! It was very exciting. I dropped Noah off at Lori's so she could take him to day care (yes. That is our routine as insane as it is). There was a TON of flooding around her place. The drainage there sucks.

Also, I too am too distracted to work. I keep wondering if naming Noah as I did was a bad thing to do in an El Nino year.
