Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Meertilda is so damned adorable. As is her big brother.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't think I'd ever actually dress an animal beyond something like a hat for a picture. The lobster costume momentarily made me insane. It may just have been the cumulative effect of Target.

Someday, you need to meet my mom, ita. Hell, everyone should!

Only way I'd dress my animals is for laughs. And I'd pay in blood.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes?

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

Trudy, it's not that traditional to be the 8th kid, surely?

I'm traditional? Who knew?

Yep, 8th out of 8. However, there were never 8 in the house at one time (though four girls shared a bed for a time, believe it or not - my oldest sister got the solo bed at the same time in the same room).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yep, 8th out of 8

Was there a 7th son? Of a 7th son?

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

Mostly, though, I'm happy this wasn't the reaction when Giuliani was talking about a third term.

As I recall, he wasn't so much seeking a third term as an extension of his current second one. T'was a bit... fascist.

The wee brother holding his big brother's hand and putting washcloths on his face is breaking my heart, in a good way.

They're seven and ten. And I can hardly stand it myself.

I have a video of Matilda hopping around the kitchen cackling gleefully, but this computer is uncooperative so it'll have to wait until I can get over to the more docile laptop.

I have seen you cackle -- my bwain photoshop will work for now.

8 kids in one house makes my head spin. My father's many half-sibs were scattered across houses.

It wasn't a big house either. My Grandparents had one bedroom, the youngest two or three had the two little ones next to theirs, and the bigger boys were lined up in the attic. And they only had one bathroom. (Eventually they built a shower in the basement. They'd come in through the garage after whatever practice and leave their stench downstairs.)

We only had 7 kids in my family, but baby pictures of the last 2 are scarce.

My Aunt could bond with them!

Yep, 8th out of 8. However, there were never 8 in the house at one time

The oldest moved out at 19 when the youngest was 4, but soon his daughter was around during the day so it all balanced out.

(though four girls shared a bed for a time, believe it or not - my oldest sister got the solo bed at the same time in the same room).

You SO beat the attic of boys!
