Also, he's such a beautiful child. Really, truly.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I definitely need to commit horseplay with that kid.
"World's funniest joke". I really like the first one, and I think the second one has a lot of potential, but is phrased poorly.

I occasionally lurk over on DailyKos, and the latest SC results thread just pointed out that the Democratic turnout exceeded the GOP last week by a good 60,000. In South Carolina.
I'm actually feeling cautiously optimistic about November. (I say "cautiously" only because my party has been so good at snatching the defeat from the jaws of victory. I'll believe there's going to be a Democratic president when I'm watching him or her taking the oath of office next January and not before.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Aww. Toothless Mac makes me smile.
I just found an immigration record for my great-grandfather. Coming into the US through Galveston, Texas. This is very weird. I know from the census records that about a year after that he was living in NYC. No clue how or why he went from Galveston to New York.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But he had also heard about that method in Eth from boys with older brothers.
Phew. It's too stupid an idea not to be international, apparently.

Those jokes all kind of made me laugh. I just tried to google this "gesture debate" joke I knew in high school, and not only would it be impossible to describe in text, it was ungooglable using those terms. Ah well.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It seems like the lesson of this election cycle is: "Polling numbers have bollocks to do with actual results."

I LOVE the mac pictures. How great is he? I love the end one, with him asleep.
I'm organizing stuff for a stuffswap tomorrow and for a consignment sale. Then I check meetup and the stuffswap is cancelled. CRAP.

Feh. Are they going to reschedule at all?
Hey, did you guys like the cheese puffs?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Thing is, the guys who sign up are almost to a man smaller than Amir, Brent, and Jon. They're certainly smaller than Bas. So having those guys represent us does us a disservice just about every time.
My theory, which may be completely sexist, is that guys who want to be tough look at what tough guys do.
A less simple explanation may be that it's simply visually hard to show talented tough guys who are little.
Re the funniest joke. I would argue that the joke that appeals to the most people is not the only way to determine the "funniest" joke. I mean, look at Dane Cook. Enormously successful and YET does not seem to know what jokes are. Or at least how to write his own. I have been watching Comedy Central all weekend and laughing at the commercials for his special b/c: those are not jokes! Those are yelled observations! That are not interesting! (And also my sense of humor is totes objective).
