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

At first I thought all I saw was a turkey's wishbone, cementing the fact that I had a seat on the bullet train to hell reserved alongside tommy, but then I looked again.

I see two men floating in the air and kissing, while a burning cake hovers above them. Behind the cake is a bloody ax.

“Not dead yet!”

That's disturbing as hell.

I'm impressed.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

or possibly gay lumberjacks

Yikes!

He used to live in San Francisco where that wouldn't be an uncommon sight.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Re maternity leave, my company offers eight weeks' paid parental leave for the primary caregiver. (Mothers are required to take at least six weeks after giving birth.) I will get one week's paid leave; were I to be the primary care-giver, I could take eight weeks. (I can also take - I think this applies to both parents - up to 52 weeks off total, though most of that would be unpaid.)

Man, I was rage girl today. I knew it was getting bad when I really had to refrain from muttering aloud fuck you and you and you when the damned ad on the Baltimore Sun website kept expanding whenever I tried to follow a link. I hate those ads normally, but not usually to the point I'm wishing the server would implode.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One of my friends was back to teaching within less than five days after having her second and third kids. For the second one, she hired an undergrad to keep an eye on the baby in her office while she taught. For the third, she just put him in a Baby Bjorn. (We all told her that any one of us would be happy to cover her classes for her for a week or so, but she insisted that she come right back. I think one of the older professors had said something to her about deciding what her priorities were when she failed an exam about two weeks after her first kid was born, and she was determined to prove that she could do whatever was expected of her.)

Why are males ALWAYS Jesus and females ALWAYS Mary? Doesn't anyone else manifest in this fashion?

Looking below the hooded shoulders of that figure, it looks like she visited some Swedish doctors and is spreading her legs wide to give us all a look-see at their handiwork. So, probably not the Blessed Virgin Mary.
