If I had the powers of a platypus for today's brunch. I could lay the eggs and poison them if I wanted. Not that I want to poison my in-laws. It'd just be cool to be a walking poison omelette maker.

Yeah, I have to inform you, there's a pretty rigid gender demarcation between laying the eggs and poisoning the omelettes. You'll need an accomplice, a Harley Quinn platypus to your Joker platypus if you will.

Hee. My shift has officially ended, and FiL just came out to shoo me off to bed. I told him I was waiting for the dishwasher to finish so I could unpack it. Next I see, he and MiL are bodily carrying Ryan's bassinette into their room. This has become a somewhat unpredictable household.

Plus, you could garner fearful respect by informing them that, should you choose, you *could* poison their eggs, but because of your magnificent beneficence, you didn't.

Ooh, this is cool. The Australian govt is delivering the 2009 budget this week, and apparently it's going to include 18 weeks' paid parental leave at the minimum wage for all primary carers earning under $150,000 p.a. [link]

Okay, that could work. Tep, you want to be my partner in platypus crime?

Sometimes the memorable moments on "Saturday Night Live' aren't live.

From Mr. Bill to "Lazy Sunday," the late-night show has occasionally presented short films, and is collecting many of the best for a two-hour prime-time special airing May 17 at 9 p.m. EDT. Andy Samberg is the host.

Synchronized Swimming, White Like Me, Mr. Bill, Toonces the Cat, Lazy Sunday, Dick in a Box, Ambiguously Gay Superheroes...

I've always wanted to be a partner in crime to a mammal that lays eggs! I can finally live the dream!

Who was the blonde mother? I wish they'd gotten someone completely off the wall, like Meryl Streep. (Who might well not have wanted to do it, she's all dignified and shit, but I can dream!)

I'm guessing you haven't seen her in Mama Mia!. If she had any aversion to appearing undignified, that movie cured her of it.

BT's posts are renewing my faith in mankind. Really.

Did I mention before how I'm jealous of Sara's new home and community? Sounds so nice!! (I just learned that apparently It of VH1 reality show "fame" is from my neighborhood.....)
