The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
One of the people we work for calls us a lot. He's a phone guy. And he's a fucking weirdo.
Yesterday's conversation with him started, "So, have you shot yourself in the head yet?"

Ann, that's a ferret.
You might be a cougar if your car is older than your date.
Depends. If the car is a carefully restored and cared for '57 T-Bird or '65 Mustang, not so much. Because anyone past 40 doesn't really qualify as cougar bait.
I'm just saying, it ends up being somewhat reinforcing of the behavior.
Sadly, there seems to be (and I'm talking about society in general) an assumption in society that once you've said "yes" to anyone on anything, you're going to say "yes" to everyone on everything.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Kids these days. Why can't I kill them, again?It's mostly semantic, really...

Yesterday's conversation with him started, "So, have you shot yourself in the head yet?"
To which you should reply "Yes, when I heard it was you on the phone."

WHAT. WHAT?! What kind of dicksmack thinks that's a funny thing to ask of someone who's barely an acquaintance?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Even better, it was his theme for the day! My two other coworkers got some variation on it.
He's just a fucking weirdo. But it was a hell of a thing for me to try to process at 8AM. What do you say to that? Other than "Uh, no."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Two-thirds of our internets were down four hours. They just came back, and now I can see b.org again. Anyone else having problems?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re the boobie-groping thing ... maybe we could take up a collection and send some selected Buffistas (ita or Vortex, for example) to selected cons to lay down the law to these guys. Someone who could let them know, in a truly, um, memorable way that it's a Really Bad Idea.
And I'd probably qualify as a cougar ... sigh ... according to that formula, I shouldn't date anyone under 33.
