It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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

This is so cool! Because (1) It looks cool. (2) It's for napping!

Snoring not allowed: The Power Nap Capsule

Drawing on extensive physiotherapeutic research, the mattress’s undulated shape places your head and legs slightly above the lumbar region to relieve pressure on the back, encourage proper spinal alignment, improve circulation, and facilitate optimal relaxation. Made from supple calfskin leather and filled with 6"-thick cold foam, the mattress contours to the shape of your body and provides a soft yet supportive surface free of pressure points. The sleep surface is 12" longer than a king size mattress, ensuring ample room for outstretched limbs.

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

I probably should toss the rest of my lasagna from thursday, shouldn't I?

If it doesn't smell, look, or taste funny I'd say "go for it".

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

Matilda woke JZ up this morning with requests for cold water and general chattiness and wakefulness. I lingered in bed waiting for the alarm, which went off at 6:30, the radio playing "This is not your beautiful house. This is not your beautiful wife."

"That's just not fair," I muttered as I hit the snooze button. Seriously, could there be a more cruelly apt song to wake to on the day you return to work after a long, holiday weekend? Maybe "Take this Job and Shove It" or Peggy Lee's "Is That All There Is?"

Two minutes later Jacqueline came in to deliver the kicker: "We're out of coffee."

Well played, Monday. Well played.

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

Cream of wheat buttermilk pancakes it will be.

xpost from Bitches: I just clicked a bunch of friend-ing links over at Facebook, so if you see a request you can't quite place from someone with the initials EE, that's probably me.

I have skipped, so Happy Belated Thanksgiving, everyone. We were in LA just long enough to get knocked off East Coast time, and we have been unable to explain it to the dog, who is obviously confused.

I had fresh banana bread and an orange but this sounds really good.

I also have coffee in my Buffy travel mug. Sorry, Hec.

My children are being lunatics this morning. I need to get them out of the house where they can run off some of this energy before it kills me.

The cafeteria had cornmeal porridge this morning. Om nom nom.

Has anyone had an Amazon seller contact you and ask you to remove feedback? I gave the seller a three stars because it took them over a week to ship an envelope with 2 packs of colored pencils. I thought a rating of "fair" was fair, rather than "good" or "excellent."

I didn't realize that 3 stars is a poor rating--but rather average. Do people inflate ratings?
