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

At last, a worthy challenger to ihatecilantro.com! (Warning - NSFW language.)

OK, that was hysterical.

One of the attorneys snuck up behind me and from over my shoulder I hear, "What HAPPENS when you smoke cilantro?!?!" Poor thing, I hated to disappoint him. But we had a lot of fun dreaming of wasted people staggering through Whole Foods stocking up on "the good stuff" and buying thirty dollar mayonaise.

And the supertaster article slayed me.

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

when the bank teller, that is, finally agreed to issue it to me even though my husband wasn't there.

Um, WHAT.

How are you feeling in the homestretch of the pregnancy? The last few weeks can be kind of wretched; the body is so ready to be done with the whole business, while the brain is flipping out like a mammal.

One of my old college roommates was having a c-section today to deliver her 2nd baby (I found out on facebook, of course). Haven't heard anything from anyone today though. She was looking for name suggestions. They didn't know the baby's gender.

There's a lot of mammal flipping going on in these parts.

Tomorrow I have to: load up the car with the rest of the goodwill stuff, hit the bank, hit goodwill, walk through, closing, organize a field trip for friends, rekeying appt, buy light bulbs, figure out what I want to do wrt to paint, windows and probably get very little done as I flap about the house like a headless chicken, unable to focus on anything. I could very well be hyperventilating right now.

“Not dead yet!”

when the bank teller, that is, finally agreed to issue it to me even though my husband wasn't there.

Ah, that so reminds me of when I went shopping for my first new car. We were still living in Nashville and it was for a Jeep, the combination of which caused the salesguy to continually ignore me in favor of speaking to Lewis despite the fact that Lewis kept saying, "The car's for her-- seriously dude, she's the one buying it and if you don't want to lose the commission, you'd better start speaking to her."

Guy wasn't too bright. Still speaking to Lewis, he said something about the Jeep having a really cherry V-6-- that's when I turned and walked away with Lewis, the guy following after us saying, "What? What?"

That's when I turned and said, "It's got an inline six, you moron. I'll be damned if I'm buying a car from a guy who a) can't pull his head out of his ass long enough to speak to the customer and b) doesn't even know what he's selling."

Good times.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I found out about a friend's newbie on FB just yesterday. Facebook members, double up on your contraception!

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

Yikes! What a horrible way to die.

Former All-Star pitcher Mark Fidrych suffocated after his clothes became entangled with a spinning part on the truck he was working on, Massachusetts authorities said Thursday.

He was lynched by a driveshaft.
