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

Nilly, there are no feet even near your mouth! And...it's all of that. Isn't that fun & special? But really, my problem is me. In some cases, time and familiarity will let me relax. In some cases, no amount of time and familiarity will help, because it is inherently stressful for someone like me; however, it has a finite drop dead date, so I just need to roll with it until we get there.

I actually had written out everything that was going on, with all the interlocking parts and I think we are all insane. Really.

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

Brett Favre is a Jet.

I haven't been following this too closely. Does everyone in Wisconsin hate him now? (Not 'cuz he left, but because he was (I think) being a dick about it?)

There's a good deal of resentment both towards Brett and towards the Packers right now. Long-time season ticket holders are threatening to give up their tickets (which is just a cruel tease as far as I'm concerned). Unfortunately, a LOT of anger is also being directed towards Aaron Rodgers - who said some unpolitic things at the beginning of this mess, but is now just trying to keep his head down and play. Personally, I'm with the Pack and Rodgers - to the point of considering going to the 49ers-Pack preseason game (I hate preseason games - they're such a tease).

lisa, you [Edit: both singular as well as plural] look both pretty and fun-having. Yay!

Jeebus, I'm clutching my beer so hard in that pic. YAY!

sara, much-less-stress~ma to you.

however, it has a finite drop dead date, so I just need to roll with it until we get there.

Well, that's what I was wondering. Is there a deadline in sight? And can you hang on until then.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

"Ruined" in the sense of "taken everything away," I guess. The speaker spent years pulling himself up from relative poverty to a position of wealth and influence, but now all that's gone and he's a wanted fugitive trying to survive on the run. Oh, and his country has been overrun by its oldest enemy and is under martial law, which he's patriotic enough to consider worse than anything that's happened to him personally.

Upon reflection, ruiner is just not working in that sentence. Gâcher doesn’t really work either. I think I might just use prendre, which in its basic meaning is “to take”, but can also imply “to take by force” (including seizing, capturing, taking over) and is used when talking about thieves, kidnappers, or even someone who “steals” your idea.

"Vous avez pris tout ce qui m’est cher, alors je ferai de mon mieux pour vous le revaloir." (You’ve taken everything that I hold dear, so I’ll do my best to pay you back / get even with you.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think St. Bret has squandered a good deal of good will here in Wisconsin. Fans are split (some feeling Bret was getting shafted, some feeling like he's doing all this for his ego). He's NOT bigger than the Pack. He may be a huge star but frankly, I think he's been an ass. What's the payoff? He could have retired at the top of his game with widespread adoration, broken NFL records, wads of cash and a cush gig doing ANYTHING involved in football or media. Not to mention an easy, uncontroversial entry into the Football Hall of Fame.

He's fucked that up for what? Sixteen more football games?
