Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Jesse -- 4-in-1 oil sprayed into the side cracks? You'd be surprised how many times that can come to the rescue!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do not have such a thing! But will try to remember to buy some, thanks! I did some whacking around the edges to no avail, but oil sounds about right.

“Not dead yet!”

Groovy-- now I'm sneezing. I'm contemplating whether lighting a candle with a scent I know doesn't give me a headache or makes me sneeze would help at dispelling the stinky bath salts aroma or just make things worse.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Interesting article: are McCain and Palin at odds? [link]

Has anyone else heard anything about this possibility?

Yeah, I don't know that that wouldn't make it worse, Barb...

Kenny Shopsin is a nut. I still think my favorite mac-n-cheese situation was the croquette I got at the new automat. Good times.

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

Yes.

Well, I just had some very spicy queso-- the upside is my nose is now running so much, I can no longer smell the stinky bath salts. This is good, I think.

The queso was definitely good.

I'm getting uncomfortable visions of them mud wrestling in bikinis.

For some reason, my visions are of them wrestling in pudding....

Barb! I've got your bag and I snagged a box from work to mail it in. Now I just have to get my ass over to the post office to send it out to you, which I will do tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

I was just doing some reading at political blogs, and I'm liking the latest meme of equating McCain with Gollum, which I first saw on TDS last week (I'm such a LotR geek!). The New York Times is doing it now:

Remember how we used to joke about John McCain looking like an old guy yelling at kids to get off his lawn? It’s only in retrospect that we can see that the keep-off-the-grass period was the McCain campaign’s golden era. Now, he’s beginning to act like one of those movie characters who steals the wrong ring and turns into a troll.

During that last debate, while he was wandering around the stage, you almost expected to hear him start muttering: “We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precious.”
