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

Hec, I certainly hope that with the day I'm having that you set Matilda to super-cute tonight.

Presuming she's excited to get back into her meerkat costume this shouldn't be a problem. As you will see her dancing in place yelling "Wiggle wiggle wiggle, Go!" and clutching her tail like a Parisian woman holds her handbag, declaring "Mat-eeelda tail" and then trying to tickle you with her tail.

Or possibly she'll be a sullen "No" monster, weeping and whining at the injustice of being forced to do [fill in the parental request].

But more likely the former since she likes her meerkat costume.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

RIP Studs Terkel.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

She's been cute with a side of cute drizzled with a tangy cute reduction, megan. Plus, she's very excited that her costume has a tail.

And holy cow, Jess, I just bopped over to flickr and died of Dylan's off-the-charts level of cute.

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

RIP Studs Terkel.

Oh fuck.

Still, he lead a long, productive life....

Always Anti-fascist!

I know just the one you mean, Hec. Bwah! There is one place I can get it because my mom swore to the guy that I have an allergy or something and need to know, and that our culinary skills are minimal and we don't copy them.

Somebody should've interviewed him about his career.

I almost forgot! I saw cool costumes on my way through North Beach. Top three, counting down....

3. A whole Asian kindergarten class in costume (princesses, superheroes, etc.) being lead down the street by their teacher in a Snow White Costume.

2. A very pretty, tall black woman sitting at a window seat eating her salad. She'd pulled her braids up into two high ponytail sprays that looked exactly like Minnie Mouse ears. Which she augmented with a little black nose and whiskers drawn on. Super adorable.

1. A whole gaggle of film geeks at an outdoor cafe near Zoetrope, entirely dressed like...the crew from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Cool!

This is a great Studs quote (from the end of the linked obit):

He then said that he wanted his and Ida's ashes to be scattered in Bughouse Square, that patch of green park that so informed his first years in his adopted city.

"Scatter us there," he said, a gleeful grin on his face. "It's against the law. Let 'em sue us."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hec, Dylan is a lion. He says "Rawwwr!

Very sad about Studs Terkel.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!

Waiting for the trick-or-treaters to arrive...
