And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

the fish actually has a transparent head and the eyes rotate around inside of it.

Freaky!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have no desire to do any work today, but that doesn't seem to stop people from expecting me to do some, and quite frankly, I like my reality better than theirs.

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

I want to slap my pain mgmt guy around. Took him an hour to see me, and then he'd only deal with what he wanted to talk about (which, being pain prevention, *is* important) and not pain management. While he diagnoses and scans and does procedures I'm still having daily migraines and currently have no home meds to treat them, since the last effective one now makes the pain worse.

Keep going to the ER, they say.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Keep going to the ER, they say.

The ER where you've been refused pain meds?

I say go for it - it could really help him to see the situation from the opposite angle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, man, I'm reading a little about Jindal's speech last night. He really cited Harry Lee? Harry Lee was certainly a much beloved figure by a lot of people, but he was also fucking nuts.

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

Krugman Jindal Response: GOP Has Become 'The Party Of Beavis And Butthead'

So what did Bobby Jindal choose to ridicule in this response to Obama last night? Volcano monitoring, of course.

...

The intellectual incoherence is stunning. Basically, the political philosophy of the GOP right now seems to consist of snickering at stuff that they think sounds funny. The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Harry Lee was certainly a much beloved figure by a lot of people, but he was also fucking nuts.

Well, Bobby is fucking nuts, and a much beloved figure by himself. So it's at least half a good match.

Britain's Most Unfortunate Baby Names

Across the pond, the British are coming to terms with the fact that some of their citizens are jerks. A study from parenting group at TheBabyWebsite.com found that parents are naming their kids with "humor" in mind in order to ensure their childhoods will be that much more awkward.

What are the names you ask? Justin Case, Barb Dwyer, Stan Still, Paige Turner, Mary Christmas Anna Sasin and Hazel Nutt all make the list.

Retired airman Stan Still, 76, said his name had been "a blooming millstone around my neck my entire life."

Turns out, we're jerks too. Parents here have chosen Annette Curtain and Bill Board as names. The actor Rob Morrow has a wife named Debbon Ayer and has continued the cycle of naming violence by calling his daughter "Tu Morrow."

This, of course, opens up the topic of celebrity baby naming. Here are the top ten offenders:

* Kal-El Cage (Nicholas Cage's son)
* Mars Merkaba (Erykah Badu's daughter)
* Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee's son)
* Apple Martin (Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter and a name dangerously close to Apple Martini)
* Sage Moonblood (Sly Stallone's son)
* Blanket (Michael Jackson's son)
* Audio Science Clayton (Shannyn Sossamon's son)
* Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa (Franks' daughter)
* Moxie CrimeFighter (Penn Jillette's daughter--this one's actually kind of awesome)
* Bluebell Madonna (Geri Halliwell)
