I just had a moment.

Yes, new shiny, but MY POINT IS, don't start playing with it until you can get it working with the machine it needs to work with. Doesn't do us any good until you figure that out.

I had to leave.

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

You know, I'm getting a tad bit weary over certain right-wing commentators "joking" about how people they disagree with should be killed.

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

And how we need to smite the morons!

Did you read my bat pirate song? It actually made my workday less irritating for five minutes.

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

A guy I went to high school with was hospitalized with liver damage for about a week after combining Tylenol and alcohol. (I don't know the exact amount. He had a party while his parents were away from home that got busted by the police. He took some Tylenol and went to bed, then woke up a few times, still having a headache, and took some more Tylenol. He said he didn't know exactly how much he took.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The Korean pitcher would do this sorta' sideways throw... what's up with that?

Bret Saberhagen style?

Over 360 animals have been rescued from a hoarder in the town where my dad grew up. I'm betting my dad went to school with this woman.

I tend to skip those stories, as hearing about bad things happening to pets upsets me.

Like this one:

Mayor Orders Dogs Released Into Forest

You've heard it before.....Arkansas animal shelters struggling to take care of unwanted dogs and cats. One mayor has decided the best way to fix the problem in his town is to set the animals free. KARK visited the Helena-West Helena animal shelter back in January. Conditions were dirty and animals were in poor health. Thursday, KARK learned the town's mayor James Valley has taken the unconventional approach of releasing the animals into the wild. In a press release, the mayor says "we fed and watered them and took them to the St. Francis National Forest."

We're told about ten dogs, including several pit bulls were set free and that some of the dogs were sick.

WTF?

Article on the women's gymnastics last night: [link]

The American girls came out onto the floor in shiny red leotards that made them look like Las Vegas showgirls. On average 30 pounds heavier and 3.5 inches taller than the doll-sized Chinese gymnasts, they had the sheen of aging starlets, imbuing the scene with a peculiar Sunset Boulevard feel.

The hell?
