Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I'll assume mosquito for now -- do they bite twice? I got another one last night.

If one found a way in, others will probably follow. They can bite multiple times (which is how they...ahem...can spread diseases), but usually where there's one, there's more.

I don't know if Erinaceous is lurking these days (Hi Erin) or if it's just some kind of coincidence, but this was her Facebook status WOTD:

I'm so tasty that they'll even nibble on my elbows.

Guys on other side of cubicle are playing the radio. It's tuned to a station playing Evanescence and Sixpence None the Richer.

Bless you, wonderful iPod. I put you on shuffle now.

Because books.

Wow. Cougar isn't an especially attractive term, but dingo? Not so sexy.

Maybe a dingo blew your baby?

I'm trying to figure out if that's more or less unflattering than "chickenhawk", what with the whole "dingoes ate my baby" thing.

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

SHRIFT! TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING!

I just choked on precious precious coffee.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

THAT'S what chickenhawk means!

Also, the dingo thing made me snort my coffee.

Also, too, I really don't want to work. But I need to buckle down, because I have no boss....

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think of "chickenhawk" as kind of sleazy older man interested in fellows that are slightly too young. A "daddy" is an attractive older man who may or may not be interested in younger men. Younger men would more likely be physically attracted to a daddy than to a chickenhawk.

I hadn't heard "dingo" in that context before. I'll only note that there's a big difference between a good-looking 40-year-old and a 40-year-old who tries (and fails miserably) to look and act like he's 20. As well as a 40-year-old whose a 20-year-old boyfriend thinks he has the sexiest eyes and one whose 20-year-old boyfriend likes receiving presents from him.

So what's a "silver fox"?

I'm actually kind of afraid of what shrift might answer.
