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

If I google "toy boat fetish" without the quotes, the first match is to a video of a woman crushing toy boats with her boots.

Googling with quotes for the exact phrase "toy boat fetish" only produces three matches (only two unique).

I remain unconvinced that this fetish actually exists.

No opinion on reality of fetish. About logistics: do they make inflatable toy boats? Cause that would solve many logistical problems.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Megan!

Happy Anniversary Hec and JZ!

Also, yay for California ruling!

Mother McCree! It was fucking hot in the East Bay when I went to pick up Emmett. My car thermometer read 106 degrees on the freeway.

Thankfully I'm now back in the cool gray city of love where it is a mere 89 now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I got my free sandwich from McDonald's, and was not impressed. For a sandwich with just breaded chicken and pickles, I wanted more pickles.

There were also free sandwiches at Burger King -- at least the one in the strip mall at Fresh Pond today. A bunch of my fellow students rushed them when they heard 'free' but I was steadfast. Also, I don't like pickles.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Heading home now, Hec.

I'm really tempted to bundle us all onto a train and hop down to Castro Street to see if there's a MarriageYay! street party going on. Should I give in, or resist?

Yeah, Free Dunkin Donut day makes me sad. But I've eaten like CRAP today (yay chips and salsa! yay coldstones!) so I wouldn't have a donut anyway.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Give in! (And if there isn't such a party, I'll eat my hat.)

I like pickles fine, but sandwich-wise they go with burgers and hot dogs, not chicken.
