Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Why *are* gas prices so low in MO?

(I can't believe I referred to $3.60-ish a gallon as low. Jesus.)

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

DUDE.

I just got my first ever official leave-an-hour-early-permission email! I can leave in twelve minutes! This is unprecedented--but AWESOME.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

This story on state gasoline taxes has a chart of what each state adds to the price of gas through taxes (not including local/county taxes--Cook County, I'm looking at you!).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think I'll leave early too, especially since I'll have to do some work on Memorial Day.

Why *are* gas prices so low in MO?

There's a funny orange blip in Texas where one county only has one city, Fort Stockton, and its gas price is about twenty cents higher than the surrounding counties'.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am so glad I started taking the bus!

My office may be moving to a less busable location, though, so I don't know what to do! I am thinking of buying a bike and hoping for nice weather!

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

My tummy is upset! I'm about to watch a DVD. And we saw a matinee + popcorn + drink for under $20 today. (Iron Man which was good fun, though I had to cringe through the first part).

Maybe you could buy a little scooter, Sophia! You could be all Vespa "ciao" adorable?

I totally think everyone should have a scooter... I'm saving up for one next year.

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

Right now I am catching up on the interwebs while DH puts Dylan to bed. Poor little guy has roseola. The good news is since he's into the rash phase, he should start feeling better pretty soon.

Like most NYCers need a boost in that smug superiority area.

Or, well, any.
