There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH is having a bit of existential angst. A guy with his kid in the park behind our house asked DH if the little kids playing in our backyard were his grandkids.

WTF? Do we really look that old?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

hivemind - comic readers. I got mac some comics a while back and they were "to be continued" but we never got the rest of the series - I have looked on ebay and no luck - they are from 2007 - any ideas?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ah, no unexpected cavity searches for carrying anti-perspirant, then?

To be fair to security, I too would be a little curious about an unexpected cavity.

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

Which series were they?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

msbelle, if a comic series is from 2007 -- "coming soon" might mean later in 2008. Pub dates in a lot of comics companies are a slippery concept. Better tell us which series they are!

My computer, after two long phone support sessions, is still mysteriously rebooting in the night. I foresee having to take it in to MicroCenter where it's still under warranty.

(Incidentally, I've BACKED UP all my important personal files so at least I don't have that free-floating anxiety of DOOM DOOM DOOM to worry at me.)

Our wings are not tired.

WTF? Do we really look that old?

Poor Cash's DH. People have kids at a wide range of ages. My sister was a grandma at 39. I'm old enough to be my kids' grandmother. In summary, guy at park = nozzle.

Does anyone get the ad on Facebook for SinglesNet, which is showing a picture of Jensen Ackles as one of the "hot guys" you can meet on SinglesNet. WTF?

Grrr. I've had an earworm of Rush's Tom Sawyer ever since they appeared on the Colbert Report (a week ago at this point). Do. Not. Want.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, my husband saw the vid of them playing Rock Band and said they lost-- poor Geddy can't hit the high notes anymore.

Swouncing

Dear hivemind, an English question (I've been phrasing it back and forth for quite a few times now, so each of the option sounds wrong to me right now). Is it correct to say the following sentence? If not, how should I re-phrase it?

The larger X is, the better Y may be chosen.

Ta, ever so.

[Edit: oof, each way I write it seems wrong now.]
