Maybe Chastity is a bisexual escort?
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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

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
Teppy, love waits.
Everyone knows that. Again, it has nothing to do with religion.

I was behind a minivan the other day with a bumper sticker that said "Chastity is for LOVERS!" I still can't figure that one out.
Maybe it is satire. The problem is that it's hard to spot actually satire because of all the crazy out there.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, aurelia!

That's Poe's Law.
Totally unrelated, but: the BBC site for the new Last Chance To See series (with Stephen Fry replacing Adams) is up: [link] (And paging Allyson: the latest entry on Mark's page features fruit bats!)

If Obama gets elected, what are all these right-wing nuts gonna do?
Rep. Steve King: Obama Will Make America A ‘Totalitarian Dictatorship’
On Saturday, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) gave little-noticed remarks at Sioux City’s West High School during an appearance by Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK). King went beyond the traditional right-wing talking points — which brand Obama a “Marxist” who adheres to “socialism” — and said that he would turn the United States into a “totalitarian dictatorship.” From a report by the Iowa Independent:
King, known for provocative, partisan remarks, suggested Obama actually could be classified as even more extreme than a socialist. King also said his party is the only one with a legitimate claim on representing freedom as Americans know it.
“When you take a lurch to the left you end up in a totalitarian dictatorship,” King said. “There is no freedom to the left. It’s always to our side of the aisle.”
Words fail me....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I got the yoga one, missed the meatball one.
Me too. But I think I'm right, because you can have fancy meatballs but they'd never be airy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm having post-partum depression, you guys! I don't know what to do with myself now that the wedding is done. Aside from procrastinating on the bar exam.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, aurelia! The show you came to San Francisco to pretty up is getting awesome reviews, and I do a wee fist-pump every time I see an ad for it in one of the papers.
ION, IA Rep. Steve King makes my brane hurt. There's so much wrong in that one quote tommyrot gave that it's impossible to even know where to begin; the wrong is just too big.
What the fuck is wrong with the Colts this season?
Football makes me sad. Matilda has decided that she really likes to watch it, due to all the Pop Warner games at the stadium across the street, and I've come to realize that it is the most blah blah Ginger blah blah game ever to my brain. Two lines face each other. A burly guy in a stripey shirt blows a whistle. The two lines sit on each other. The ball moves a few inches. Everyone stands up and dusts off their knees and the guy in the stripey shirt examines the ball for a while and moves it another few inches. Then he blows the whistle again and everyone sits on everyone else again.
Also, sometimes a skinny guy runs away from the pack and then everyone tries to sit on him, except for one guy who tries to throw him the ball. In Pop Warner, usually that guy misses, so everyone lines up where the ball fell down and they sit on each other again. Repeat, forever.
It makes me mournful that Matilda seems to enjoy all this and I can't share in her delight even a little tiny bit.
