"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Wow. That's about half what you'd get for a house like that here, and Northeast Arkansas isn't exactly the land of skyrocketing housing costs.

I wonder what the horrible downside is that's making the owners sell it for a song ? Crumbling foundation or rotted timbers might be a dealbreaker, but psychotic former occupant about to be paroled might be worth taking a chance on...

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

Not just a pretty breast.

Well, this is a good thing:

United to bring call-center jobs back from India

United Airlines plans to stop using an Indian call center to field passenger complaints about in-flight service or other travel issues and will hire 165 customer relations agents in Chicago and Hawaii to handle those duties.

Chicago-based United told its employees Tuesday that as of the end of April, customers who wish to share complaints or praise about a flight will have to do so via email or letter. The nation's No. 3 airline plans to turn off a customer relations phone number.

However, United's call centers will still handle reservations, queries about lost luggage and refunds, said United spokeswoman Robin Urbanski.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I see what you mean, Matt. Koala!

I hope someone has a recommendation, because the MP3 player I just bought has horrendous ones that I desperately need to replace.

Because books.

I can't wear earbuds, Perkins, so I don't know. I think my ears are actually too small -- every pair I've ever tried has hurt.

This is also awesome--Salma Hayek breast-feeds an African baby

While being filmed by a "Nightline" camera crew on a recent humanitarian mission in Sierra Leone, actress Salma Hayek came across the starving baby of a woman unable to breast-feed. What is an international sex symbol to do in such a situation? Why, pop out a breast on camera and nurse that baby, damn it. Top that, Angelina!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Kathy's a skimmer, pass it on.

Matt, did you see the photos of the koala that climbed into a tub of water that some kids filled for him? How do you not anthropomorphize in situations like that?
