You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You know, in the past week I have had to explain absinthe, LOLcats, and furries/plushies to my coworkers, and these were things I thought were "common knowledge". Combined with the fact that no one I know seems to know the phrase "do not fold, spindle or mutilate" I am wondering if I am from some bizarro common knowledge world.

Well, that's an old one, dating back to the late '60s. I'd say it was part of popular culture into the '70s but not much after that....

I was most surprised by the absinthe. Apparently they had missed the "green Fairy" part of Moulin Rouge, because they were all confused when I tried to explain that it she was the personification of absinthe. Of course, it all started when I made a really lame "absinthe makes the heart grow fonder" joke....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I had to explain, "I HAVE YOUR KEYS! YOU MUST CHILL!" the other day.

And I had to explain who Edward Gorey was.

I really need a new job. Where I work with Jilli.

Perkins took me to Lush in San Francisco last Saturday and the Rock Star soap I got is making my bathroom smell AWESOMECAKES.

A few months ago a Russian spacecraft returned from the International Space Station. Something went wrong and the spacecraft made a "ballistic reentry", which subjected the crew to much higher g-forces and caused the craft to land way off-target.

Anatoly Perminov, the head of the Russian Federal Space Agency, speculated that the ballistic reentry was connected to a Russian nautical superstition that having more women than men on a craft was unlucky. "This isn't discrimination," he stated when challenged on the point. "I'm just saying that when a majority [of the crew] is female, sometimes certain kinds of unsanctioned behaviour or something else occurs." Perminov said he would try to ensure that the number of women would not exceed the number of men in the future.[17]

Um, OK. Apparently it's OK to have chicks in space - just not too many of them....

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

There is a place called Meltz, here in Colorado, that is filling my Lush needs without the Lush smell overload. I believe there is a Lush out here somewhere too.
