I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Let's see... I bet the Scarlet Letter is supposed to stay away from Juliet because that book hadn't been written yet when Juliet was around....

I think it's Romeo who's supposed to stay away from Juliet, who is also the scarlet letter. Another verse has almost the same line as, "You were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet," which makes way more sense.

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

They didn't have Sherwin Williams' alarming cover the earth (in blood red paint) one. [link]

Freaks me out every time I see it.

It makes me think of some Allied WWII propaganda film, where the red paint covering a globe represents the Axis powers trying to take over the world.

You know, beyond the environmental and BLOOD significance, that may be another source of my Oh So Wrong.

The Sherwin Williams ads that were on when I was little scared me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bah. My local Bangladeshi grocery had a different brand of chanachur, and I don't like it!

Also, my team lost in the last round of bar trivia, after leading at the beginning. Bah!

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

"You were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet." I keep hearing it on the radio, and have no idea what it's supposed to mean.

Wasn't the Scarlet Letter for adultery? "She was cheating on her husband. He was a horny murderous teenager. Next on Jerry Springer, it's a love story!"

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Maybe she's an innocent 14 y.o. Italian girl reborn into the body of a pregnant Puritan?

I think what's bothering me most about that is the phrasing "I was the scarlet letter." And I looked up the lyrics, and it's definitely "I was" and not "I wore" or something like that. Full lyrics: [link]

Loki just discovered tv courtesy of an aquarium ad. He's meerkatting in front of it, fascinated.

I haven't had a cat who noticed tv in decades, since Thimble tried killing the air force channel jets.

Oh, that's really cute! My cats ignore the box, with the exception of the one cat meowing video I watched once an my one cat bottlebrushed and wigged.
