This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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

Wimbledon: In no doubt thanks to the over-mention by ESPN2 I had to go check Roddick's twitter after the game (http://twitter.com/andyroddick/) and despite him seeming to update it pretty regularly before, nothing yet. Teddy bear, indeed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG Sophia.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Excellent advice, Sophia. I will make a note.

...

What? We all know it could happen to me. And I've only got frozen corn, edamame and medicinal peas. Nothing that would conveniently fit in my ear.

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

::must. resist. straight line...::

No responses have anything to do with Cass in particular, and everything to do with things which conveniently fit in the ear.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Jesse, at first I thought you meant the first commenter, who didn't get the point of the article and thought "It wasn't that crazy"

And then I found the crazy person.

Devi found an open box with mostly stuffed animals in it. She's slowly sinking lower and lower in it, sound asleep. MK's at my feet (he's been hanging out more downstairs,) Loki is crashed out in chair, slowly slipping out of it. Putting one of the monster ac units on energy save and a set temp of 76 upstairs with a fan directed down the stairs keeps everything under 78. I got a smaller lidded trashcan so don't have to smell that (seriously, it takes a couple days to fill a normal grocery bag now, but it smells faster, so this is perfect.)

All's right in Sara's house.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Damn, that is one crazy person.

Tipping etiquette makes my head hurt. Is 20% the norm now? I've been doing 15%.

I discovered recently that my parents don't grok that tipping your server is unofficially mandatory. We went out to an IHOP, and our waitress said there would be a 15% gratuity added to our bill, and my dad got all huffy. I was confused because we would have been paying that anyway, and he was all, "No!" If I went out to eat alone, did I leave a tip? Uh, yeah. Well, I didn't have to! Uh, yeah I do.

It was so bizarre.

Oh, sure, mock me now. But I won't be the one with roasted corn stuck in my ear.

Oh, god, don't let me ever have roasted corn stuck in my ear .
