Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

To celebrate the countdown to Christmas, the satirical Christian website, Ship of Fools, has published its annual selection of religious-themed gifts spotted on sale, such as these nativity ducks.

I like this one:

Jesus is one of the most famous beardies of all time, but simply add a hot drink to this mug and the familiar facial hair of our Lord disappears, leaving him clean-shaven.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I lock my doors at home but at my dad's we usually only lock at night or if we're leaving. Just how I grew up I guess. My upstairs neighbor leaves her interior door unlocked all the time - I know because she's asked to come through my place a few times when she's forgotten her keys. (Or actually, the first time I realized was taking care of her cat over the holidays last year, but at the time I thought that was just because it was last minute and she had several people doing it over the three weeks she was gone so I thought it was just an emergency situation.)

I hope you're feeling better this morning, tommy.

I always lock, unless I'm actually in the yard, but I was married to a cop for 12 years.

I'm going through my spending trends info for the past year on Mint.com and getting sick to my stomach.

Also I burnt the fuck out of my tongue on my coffee this morning.

OTOH, I've got homemade bread in the works to go in the oven shortly. Yay?

Did you waste all your money on Nintendo and Orange Julius?

My door locks automatically when I close it, and so do both outside doors to my building. I usually lock the deadbolt at night, even if the chances of someone robbing the apartment furthest from the entrance and up 4 flights of stairs are slim to none.

Heh. Might as well have. Ugh. Need to make some changes in how I operate, I think.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I grew up in LA. The idea of not locking a house door appalls me. For that matter I'm pretty much incapable of leaving a car door unlocked either. My late father when was young owned a small house in East LA in the 40s that he always left unlocked. Special circumstances though. He kept it open 24 hours so friends could crash there, and it was never empty. Anyone who tried to take advantage of the open door for nefarious purposes would have run into a houseful of tough guys with knives.

Attention hivemind!

I just bought a slow cooker at Target (on sale for $15!) What are your favorite slow cooker recipes?
