Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor.

I just got all excited for a minute, because Ellen (on yesterday's show) is giving money to a Stephanie in Cincinnati, but it not Our Steph. The "anie" should have been my first clue.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Poor

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

Poor. Traditionally, crackers are to the lowland south (South Georgia, Northern Florida, etc.) as hillbillies are to Appalachia.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I'd say there's also an implication of white trash.

Punishingly Intricate

yeah, I've always heard poor white too but my co-worker, who grew up in Texas, was like "no! It was from the 'cracking' whip of the slaveowners." Wikipedia mentions both.

I was wondering if it was a regional thing.

The cracking thing sets off my cutesy-etymology spidey sense.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Today is my last day here. I'm on vacation next week, and then start at JPL the week after.

Last days are so weird...
