I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So I'm guessing I'm the only one here who came across Tot-Tanic years ago? It's fairly widely available from the bouncy house sites.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It is freakier than a thing that is freaky.

But is it freakier than THE thing.

I tend to use "please advise" as shorthand for "you're the boss, and I know you'd throw a fit if I made this decision on my own, so tell me what to do, please."

Me, too.

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

I never realized those two words were so loaded. I tend to use them a bunch, meaning - here is the info I have and the options as I see them, the benefit of your advice would be appreciated.

Now I'm going to be worried that others think I was being all passive aggressive. Gah. More worries.

Art Crawl!!!

I don't understand why that phrase is bad? I mean, sometimes you are not the person who can make that decision so it makes sense to ask the person who is.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm with Fred and ita - I see it as more of a "ball's in your court" thing. So, there is an element of washing-my-hands-of-the-decision-making, but not really P-A as such.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I use it as a "ball's in your court" thing as well - kind of a, well I've done MY part indication.

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

Another vote for ball/court. It's sort of "here's my bit, now it's your call" rather than anything necessarily passive/aggressive.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm a ball/court gal myself.

And we'd better keep Cass away from that car.

Sometimes evil drives a minivan.

Is Yahoo!Mail making anyone else login every five seconds, or am I just special?

It has been making me do it and has been driving me crazy all day.
