not your mom's socks.

Yeah, and then baby tries to stand up and is scarred for life by all the alarm bells....

or when sleep-deprived parent reaches for baby after forgetting to turn the alarm off....

grrr. Has Broadsheet got a whiff of this story? I haven't check Salon today but it's right up their alley.

if they haven't, someone really should point them to it...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The lady in the gift store let me have the $1.25 chocolate for $1.00. Nice lady. Good chocolate too--it'll last me forever at this intensity.

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

After googling the Lindbergh kidnapping, I ended up here [link] for Time's 25 Crimes of the Century.

So, any good books/movies on the Patty Hearst kidnapping? [link] I was too young at the time to understand it, but I was aware of it being significant in our culture....

Hivemind question-- does anyone know of a good source for maps of cities in Central America? Specifically, I need a map of the city of San Vicente, which is in the department of San Vicente, El Salvador.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yeah, no. It's not satire when your chosen author is a professional anti-feminist who routinely and sincerely spouts this shit.

Nice to see that Phyllis Schlafly has passed the baton.

I want to beat them both in the head with it, though.

Oh, I want my salad in a BACON BOWL, dammit.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I thought this was well done, Tommyrot. [link]

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Could a BLT salad in a bacon bowl be topped with bacon salt, or would that be a bacon overload?

ION, not only is there not a Starbucks in this town, there isn't a Duncan Doughnuts. This town sucks.

Assuming this is correct, I don't think this sort of thing is helping much....

Earth Liberation Front Believed Responsible For Arson At Multimillion-Dollar Seattle Homes

WOODINVILLE, Wash. — Three seven-figure dream homes went up in flames early Monday in a Seattle suburb, apparently set by eco-terrorists who left a sign mocking the builders' claims that the 4,000-plus-square-foot houses were environmentally friendly.

The sign _ a sheet marked with spray paint _ bore the initials ELF, for Earth Liberation Front, a loose collection of radical environmentalists that has claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks since the 1990s.

The sheriff's office estimated that Monday's pre-dawn fires did $7 million in damage to the "Street of Dreams," a row of unoccupied, furnished luxury model homes where tens of thousands of visitors last summer eyed the latest in high-end housing, interior design and landscaping. Three homes were destroyed and two suffered smoke damage.

...

The sign left behind said in red scraggly letters, "Built Green? Nope black!" and "McMansions in RCDs r not green," a reference to rural cluster developments.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Hey, I'm just glad the halfwit eco-terrorists didn't burn homes that people were actually living in as part of their political statement/felony.

Do you need free ones? There's a pay site that's a pretty good source: [link]
