Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Spare Cat "lost" her e-collar yesterday -- gone, as in we think she slipped out of the house and burned it, or whatever. So today I went to the pet store and brought home an inflatable e-collar (think one of those inflatable traveler's pillows, only it closes like a donut). Let's see her get out of this....

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

Um... does she by chance have claws?

My roommate's cat (the internationally famous Boogs the cat) once punched holes in my waterbed with his claws....

Huh, it looks like we all own a car company now that GM is going into Bankruptcy. Except for you non-American types, you all have to buy your own car company, sorry.

I also saw that Chrysler's assets got sold off this weekend. Bye-bye Chrysler, hello Chrysler Group LLC.

Have you guys heard of creaky voice? I just realized I totally do it. And I don't like it!

I've never heard you do it here.

Go, Newsweek!

I concur.

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

Meanwhile, Ford has announced that its next model release will be called "The Quickening".

I'll be curious to see how Ford does with bringing over it's European models.

The Canadians got a piece of that action too.

I have a completely irrational loyalty to Ford (I've only ever bought Fords, Mercurys and a Lincoln) so I'm rooting for them (and happy they're not needing bailouts).

Oh, my parents finally sold their Taurus and bought another Mercury Grand Marquis (my dad, being taller than me, has had trouble getting in and out of the Taurus). This is their third Marquis. I've owned two Marquis' myself, plus a similar '72 Monterey.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's creaky voice?

I am stomach growly hungry. bad timing

I can't eat for an hour after I take my morning meds. It's irritating when I'm spending the day at home. No idea how I'll manage it when I have a job to go to.

For those whose breath was bated, the IRA beat the Taliban in The Deadliest Warrior. No, I didn't watch the ep--even the cheerleading I saw by fast forwarding to the end was enough to make me ill.

Random Ford Trivia! Besides Ford, Mercury and Lincoln, what were (they don't exist anymore) the other two divisions of Ford?
