except the smart part is questionable, billytea. I say this after watching Noah drink out of his water table side by side with the dog.

I've heard much the same about having kids.

Yeah, but kids don't make very good carnitas.

No, no, that makes perfect sense. The dog has keener senses than Noah, so by staying close to him at a vulnerable moment (head down to drink), he maximises his chance of receiving advance warning of any oncoming predators. Such as Grace.

Look, I love children, but I can never finish a whole one.

My uncle farms pigs. If you really want fresh pork (omg, the best porkchops I've ever had were at his house. Shortly after I'd cooed over the wee piglets. Yes, I felt demented.) I could always ping him. Or call him. I don't know if he has internet. And he is in MN, a ways away.

My dad's pet name for me was always Piglet because apparently I sounded just like the piglets on my grandpa's (uncle bought it) farm when they were nursing. And then he had pork chops.

(OK, I don't know about that last part, but still. We're ok with that. I helped chop piglets' tails which was horrific, but apparently best method at the time. Still alarming.) And those chops were DAMNED good. The bacon, sublime.

Wasps are such uncomplicated creatures. Eat it, hump it or sting it, and then eat it or hump it.

So...basically Reavers then, huh?

ita, I don't think you really needed stitches to finish your look.

I'm afraid that all the Palin stuff that makes us go "WTF?!?!!" makes Republicans and undecideds go, "Fuck yeah!"

That's my fear.

And I've been saying "WTF?!" for almost eight years now. So. I'd like to stop.

Ship them down to Mexico for some proper training. They can learn.

Lidocaine's wearing off. I wish I knew if my bendy straw could hold up to cocoa. I really want cocoa.

The hospital is so much my cheers that Polgara managed to get recognised when she went in by herself. I'm not proud.

I have pork chops in the freezer. Mmmm.

I think your bendy straw could survive cocoa. However, if you have only one bendy straw and your bendy straw is your only method for ingesting fluids, I would perhaps not risk it.

Unless you really really want to.

Hee. I wonder what Cash's DH would have thought if he'd been my dad when I won two fish at the county fair. Actually, I'm not entirely sure what my dad thought. I had a habit of winning ridiculously large and improbable prizes at fair contests. At first they always thought I wasn't going to win, but eventually they started checking the prizes available before they'd let me play.

I think fish are a fairly reasonable impulse pet.

So...basically Reavers then, huh?

I'd say that's a yes.

Cocoa it is. Straw seems to be holding up well. I hope it's not going to give me cancer.

Anyone watch Cold Case? I'm getting a bit addicted. The structure of interviews and reveal are pretty consistent, and I don't get the lead blonde (and hate her hair). I think it's the music and the flashback mechanism. At the very end as they cuff the people who did it and show you everyone else then and now, and then you see one of the detectives (usually bad hair chick) look at an apparition of the victim who nods appreciatively--well, I find the music choices often interesting.

I mean, I finally dig Don't Stop Believing, which I don't think I'd ever heard beginning to end before. Not to mention Secret Garden. But worst/best was Strange Fruit which I've actively avoided but was transfixed by last night. That must be a cool gig, picking those.

I'd say that's a yes.

Oh, the beemanity! It's a massacree.
