Sorta' like Easter Island, but with giant stone jars: [link]
No one knows who made the jars, where they came from, or what they are for/what they signify.
In Laos. If you go there, watch out for unexploded American bombs....
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

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

The Plain Of Jars is probably South East Asia’s most enigmatic tourist attraction.
I have a plain! It's enigmatic!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And They Have A Plain

Here's my big fear for the presidential race, once the nominees are official: McCain taps Huckabee as his running mate.
Think about it. McCain can't get the crazed evangelical vote that Bush got in '04; they hate McCain. If McCain gets the nomination (and it surely looks as though he will), and his running mate is anyone but Huckabee, I think a HELL of a lot of crazed evanglical voters will stay home.
If Huckabee is his running mate, I'm going to be very, very scared. Because Huckabee will get the evangelical voters out in droves to keep a (gasp!) woman or a black man out of office. Count on it.
And if *I've* thought of it, you know that the McCain camp has already thought of it.

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
Green card is ten years, I think. Msbelle, I'm curious as to how it works with Mac. Is he automatically a US Citizen because you are?

not your mom's socks.
did anyone listen to Huckabee's speech last night? (was traipsing BBC while it was on)
freaked me right the hell out.

we will be on the next plain to Auckland. Watch us flee fly.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Good lord. A tanker truck full of chocolate has apparently shut down the Chicago Skyway.
Steph is me WRT McCain/Huck. Worst case scenario, and looking ever more likely.
[ETA - and man, doesn't that dual citizenship feel nice right about now?]

With all the biblical allusions? It make me think 2 things: (1) ::barf:: and (b) damn, he's got a HUGE ego to be making those kinds of comparisons.

All I can picture is Homer Simpson and the sugar truck that crashed, so he took all the sugar home and made a big pile in his backyard.

Punishingly Intricate
My new niece, Esther Mary, was finally born at 8:30 pm last night! My SiL ended up having to have a c-section but she's doing well and the baby was great. She was just chillaxin' in there.
