New York City used to have Rattus rattus (known as black rats, roof rats or ship rats), and Rattus norvegicus (brown rats). The brown rats are bigger and meaner and killed all the roof rats.
Just so they're not on my roof.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's not directed at Connie's DH.
I was just going to take that in the spirit of general positiveness.

Trust my rage
But the way that people will vote and act so entirely against their own interests when they're barely scraping by as is?
Someone told me once that people do this because it makes them feel wealthier/more affluent even if it clearly is against their interest.
My parents have friends, family of four, who currently have NO health insurance. But the are opposed to any health reform. I don't know why but it's 100% aganst their interest. Oh, but they don't mind moving to Canada and using their healthcare. Totally nuts, I think.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh, but they don't mind moving to Canada and using their healthcare.

I know. It made NO sense. I asked my dad the same question but he couldn't answer either.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That way they wouldn't destroy the Canadian way of life, which is already a lost cause, anyway?

Taxes other people pay are not the same thing.

That's an excellent capper to my weekend! I will toddle off to bed with visions of semi-colons dancing in my head.

“Not dead yet!”
Normally, I hate most beer commercials, but I just saw the best Miller Lite commercial. Totally mocks the eHarmony commercials and does so, so convincingly, I totally bought it up until the end when the guy holds up the beer bottle.
