I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Did you have your eyes dilated, Sheryl? And did you also have the puff of air thing done, too?

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

I did have my eyes dilated. No puff of air.

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

Did the do the Three Stooges test, where the Dr. tries to poke you in both eyes at the same time, and you have to line your hand up against your nose to prevent it?

Hee, tommyrot!

A blogger just got back from a trip to London; she stopped to see Douglas Adams' grave. Loved that someone left a green dice behind, and someone else left, of course, a towel.

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

How many toasters do I have?

Four? I dunno.

It'd be cool if we could lure some people here through your blogging at Coctail Party Physics

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just filed a complaint against a telemarketer through the FCC.

Today is not the day to be irritating on the phone and then hang up on me.

Oooh, details, please?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of my telemarketer smackdown?

Since I'm home all day, I'm here when they call. Often I just ignore them (thank you, caller ID), but recently I've been picking up to get my number taken off the list.

When I answered the phone this time, the recorded message was totally unintelligible. So I pressed 1. I got a woman who asked for the make and model of my car.

I said, "Please put me on your do not call list."

She said, "Why wouldn't you want to protect your car? This is VERY IMPORTANT."

I said, somewhat less politely, "The recorded message doesn't work. Please put me on your do not call list."

Then she hung up on me.

Then I discovered that according to the FCC, "pre-recorded commercial messages" are generally unlawful.

Irritated me + caller ID + the internet = FCC complaint. And I kind of want them to try calling me again.
