"Someday monkey play piano song...play piano song..."
I'm still waiting for that day.
I mean, if cats can play the piano....
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh crap, scrappy. I'll continue to hold your niece (and the rest of you) in my thoughts.
In a 2-1 vote, a Commission on Human Relations panel found that two signs at Geno's Steaks telling customers, "This is America: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH,'" do not violate the city's Fair Practices Ordinance.
I'm just going to say that "one wit whiz" is barely English, anyway.

This is America: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH'
This is English: When writing instructions, please don't use inverted commas for emphasis.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Maybe 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH' is the name of their most popular dish.

So what are folks up to this weekend? I know it's a day early, but I'm bored and figured I'd try to kick start a conversation.
I'm going up to Maine, and my brother his wife and I are taking our Mother out for Easter dinner here: [link]
We've been doing this the last couple of years. I love this place. They have the most amazing 72-Layer Hand-Cut Cream Cheese Biscuits. Unfortunately, getting these before the meal can seriously fill you up.

Because books.
Oh, Scrappy. I'm so sorry about the cause of the heart attack. All kinds of vibes that she hangs in there, though.

Thanks for updating us on your niece, Scrappy. I am hoping for the best for her.
Can anyone explain to me why the water supply is a public utility and the electric and gas lines are private companies, even though they essentially have a regional monopoly? I mean, I can't choose which provider to use for my electricity, and they maintain the lines. Which, okay, but why aren't they a public utility and water is?
Also, can anyone explain why Verizon is a company that provides internet service and yet had the most poorly designed corporate web site I have ever had to use regularly?

Yes Scrappy. Glad to hear about the stability, but sorry to here the cause of the problem in the first place. Here's hoping it was a major isolated slip instead of part of longer-term step backwards.

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
This guy being a dick has nothing to do with the economics of the credit crunch.
I wish I understood this better. It's freaking me out, and I have no idea what it all is, and how it rights itself. Every time I try and figure it out, my eyes glaze over from financial jargon.
