The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Nora! You're going to Maine soon! Are you going to be there over the 4th?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"There is no kitsch or obscenity, it is a successful work of art," Alexander Kharchenko told The Associated Press. "An enema is almost a symbol of our region."

Heh. I just love that certitude. "It is a successful work of art. About enemas."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

"An enema is almost a symbol of our region."

I should say, there is a monument to ether in the Boston Public Garden. (It is a quiet four-sided fountain in the northwest corner.) However, I like to think that just because ether was invented in Boston, and was very useful (before we got newer anaesthetics), does not mean that ether is a symbol for the Boston area.

What with it being an anaesthetic and all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tuesday's death of 16-year-old Neil Beagley, however, may not be a crime because Oregon law allows minors 14 and older to decide for themselves whether to accept medical treatment.

Yeah, but -- if you're living in a faith-healing family, maybe you can't "decide to accept medical treatment" if (1) you've been indoctrinated so thoroughly that you don't believe medical treatment works, or (2) medical treatment is never offered as an option.

I hate those people. HATE. Which is wrong, but I don't care. You want to not take medicine your *own* self? Fine. Fuck yourself up. You deserve it. But fucking your *child* up, when you're supposed to be nurturing him??? VILE.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Erm. Pat Buchanan seems to be claiming that the Holocaust was really Britain's fault, because they declared war on Germany.

The Holocaust was not a cause of the war, but a consequence of the war. No war, no Holocaust.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Po' boys are on longer buns like a sub, stacked, dressed and slathered (preferably with "hot").

Does the meat on a Po' boy have to be fried? I seemed to bump into that in New Orleans a lot, and my delicate little mouth can't handle those razor edges.

Wheee! Make sure you go to the parade, and visit Nellie's for me, and stuff like that!

The Boston Celtics championship parade, in Duck Boats!!

All the Boston championship parades are Duck Boat parades. It's a thing.

Is it a Make Way for Ducklings shout out?
