This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

Dear Emeline:

Your mommy loves you very much, but she loves the shoeses more. You'll enjoy your new life as a warehouse monkey for Zappos. Maybe they'll let you play on the conveyer belt.

Love,
The Internets

You had her at "monkey"

but every time I've ordered from Zappos, they've "upgraded" me to overnight shipping for free, and with no prompting on my part.

Yep, that's what always happens to me when I order from Zappos.

Why is it that when I wouldn't MIND being a target market, they don't offer the pretty consumer goods in my size? Yes, I understand the cutesy bras printed with skulls (and sometimes in black & pink!) are intended for teens, but they really should be made in different sizes. Like, oh, a 34G, perhaps.

Hot topic, someplace called Tillys.com. And I've seen them at Ross and at my local Fred Meyer. Skull underpants that fit me, no problem. But noooo, I am denied cute skull bras.

Thanks, I'll have to take a look. Tho' I fear the fit that will come of buying a bra without trying it on first.

I know! And Torrid has purple ruffly knickers with bats on them. BATS! If they were pink, I'd be stocking up.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Also, whenever someone says they are looking for someone "real" i always think they are bitter.

I think "down to earth" or "level-headed" convey a search for the same sort of qualities without the added connotation of "unlike all those bastards that did me wrong!"

Hey I just got some spam in Swedish. I've never had Swedish spam before.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If it's in Swedish, how do you know that it's spam? Maybe you really have won the international lottery.
