You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

Flint, Michigan Battles Crack Epidemic

The third most violent city in American had declared war on . . . saggy pants. Below, a helpful graphic from the Detroit Free Press explains the new law.

The saggy pants graphic is just... bizarre.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Dallas tried to do that. Then they just turned it into a campaign. There's a song and everything [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is there a site you recommend I go read for results?

For today -- it was a really fun finish, but of course nothing's really changing any race outcomes until next week. But I won't spoil beyond that, and it was really more of a "who do I know who might be watching right now?!"

In general, I'm still finding the official site best for results. Yes, it's clunky and incredibly weird, but it has tons and tons and tons of data.

And cyclingfans.com has been incredibly nice to me by offering multiple streaming links while I'm stuck at work -- and, as always, pretty pretty pictures. But they aren't really doing results/recaps.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Today is going to really suck and last waaay too long. I think I'll be feeling like this by 11:00 tonight.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

That is horrible, Kat. I hope it gets nipped.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Jeebus, Kat. I hope those little shits get stomped on hard by the school and their parents.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kat, that's terrible. I'm glad you reported it and I hope those kids get in big-ass trouble.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Kat, that's horrible. And disturbing, and just sad.

Also, what Scrappy said.

Tamara, so sorry for your loss.

Kat, what everybody said. Unacceptable.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

OMG, Kat. Children often suck and those particular ones deserve to be taken down a few pegs.
