We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I meant to add Yikes to my post above.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Salon mentioned that a while back in Broadsheet. I seemed to be the only person in the letters who thought it was a dandy idea.

Icky, sure, but no more icky than the idolization of virginity in the first place -- at least it levels the playing field.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We all heard about this on NPR this morning right? [link] Surprise yourself!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, now I wish I had ordered a few weeks ago, when it first came up here. Now it'll be ruined!

Punishingly Intricate

I just hope stormy doesn't happen before I have a chance to pick up my dog and walk him! (also, really really hope it doesn't do something crazy like knock out power!)

It's already overcast, but not storming here.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Lung cancer kills more Americans than any other type of cancer, but lags significantly behind many other cancers in research money, because it's hard to get people behind preventing a cancer that many view as the "fault" of the victim. If you smoked for a couple of years back when you were young and stupid, but quit 30 years ago, your heart and lung function improves, but you still have a significantly higher chance of cancer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks to Kat's push up post I had to go neurotically check how many I can do in one set. 20. Good to know I guess.

My stretch teacher (the one I ADORE) ran off to the Czech Republic a few months ago and I sorely need a new source for exercise. I'm thinking of signing up the kids for swim lessons at the Y, maybe I should just get a family membership.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Rank means that he was misbehaving - fighting his rider. . .which he was.

Thanks! That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

Operation Lets Muslim Women Reclaim Virginity

The thing that gets me about the hymen thing is...I didn't bleed my first time, and in an informal survey during a discussion of the Magic Misplaced Hymen as found in many romance novels, I was in the majority, not the minority. Even allowing for all the lifestyle factors that would make it more likely for a American or European girl to be a hymen-free virgin than one from a traditional Muslim society, I still wonder just how many women have suffered for "crimes" they never committed down through the years...
