Looking at radar, it looks like we were hit by a few small-ish cells. It might be better there at the moment than it was a little while ago.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

A bunch of friends went to see a production of "Rocky Horror Show". The producer/director had incorporated some smartass replies to the smartass things the audience shouts which adds to the fun.
The "bunch of friends" included my 85 year old mother who loves theater. After it was over some middle aged biddy came up and cooed at my Mom, "I'm so glad you stayed all the way through"
Mom, cautiously trying to get out of the conversation, "well, I saw the movie. This was much more entertaining, much more spirited".
Biddy:"Oh, so you knew what you were getting into".
Mom: finally losing her temper a bit "Listen, it is nothing to do with 'knowing what I'm getting into.' I saw my first drag show before you were born - at Pinocchio's along with Ingrid Bergman."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Bwah! People kind of overlook the fact that there was risque stuff before the 1960s. It's just that no one talked about it publicly...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sssh. This is a good excuse not to go.

It seems to be really coming and going - brief hit of thunder, brief splash of rain, then nothing. But it seems to have chased the heat away.

Wow, from the weather maps it looks like Milwaukee is getting hammered. But Chicago it looks like the big storms are headed south. Nice big tornado zone stretching from Milwaukee to Madison. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jim McKay died. That's sad--he was a real mainstay of my childhood TV.
Oh, that is sad.
Birthday girl still crying.
It's her party, right?
I just found out that a friend of a friend (who I know) quit her job as a lawyer to start a matchmaking business! Crazy! Too bad it's $2500 -- and she's competing on price. Apparently similar services are usually $10K. I guess I won't meet my husband that way....

Are there any Buffistas who know about immigration law?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I know about student visas, tommy, if that is helpful, but almost nothing else.

I have some completely hypothetical questions (for a possible story)....
If you're a non-US citizen in the US, you are guaranteed certain rights based on your country of residence, right? What about a non-US citizen in the US who has no country of residence? I mean, like no country, ever.
Only a US citizen can have a US passport, right? Let's say a certain agency of the US govt. wants to give a non-US citizen permission to enter the US (what a passport does) and this person has no country of residence to give her a passport - could she enter the US legally if the govt. gave her some passport-like document to present? (eta: Or could the govt. just give her a passport to the US anyway, even though she's not a citizen?)
(I said completely hypothetical, right?)
