Ginger in Bitches:

I'm wondering whether there's anyone who has kept track of when the Christmas decorations have gone on sale each year. I think the first week in October is the earliest I've seen them. The stores are all Halloween decorations next to Christmas decorations, making me consider a Nightmare Before Christmas approach to outdoor decorating. I was rather taken with the animated lighted vulture at Michael's. I think arranging bits of one of the plastic human skeletons around it would be a nice touch. For Christmas, I could stick a Santa hat in its mouth.

Because I not only think the statement of intent is hilarious, but also I would love to see photos when it becomes reality.

PMM:

is there a single word for when something is right on that balance point between awesome and atrocious?

Steph L.:

SWINTON.

Lurkers represent!

ehab: This thread is like having Buffista training wheels.

SolangeK: (snerks so hard she accidentally delurks)

Even a nice Chianti won't wash this one down (from Natter).

Jesse: Even my crunchiest home-birthing friend didn't eat her placenta, although she thought about it....

Billytea: If her placenta was crunchy, she has bigger problems than deciding whether she could finish a whole one.

Aims: In Natter:

Once the placenta decides to evolve and figure out a way to make it so that I can smoke and drink and get high during my pregnancy without possibly fucking up my baby, I'll be more than happy to stuff it, but it an outfit, and put it on my shelf. But until then, it gets a merry "Thank you" and tossed in the biohazard bag at the end of the day.

Can't argue with that.

Can't argue with that.

If Aims has dressed it up and put it on a shelf, I reserve the right to argue with it.

DCJensen: Why are the bells across the street at the episcopal cathedral playing Frère Jacques at 9 am on a Sunday morning?

omnis_audis: Because Paperback Writer was too difficult?

Gudanov: I've been doing house painting and it is taking a lot of time. Our house suddenly seems bigger.

billytea: Just how thickly are you applying the coats, Gud?

Gudanov About two feet, just the right amount to protect against most siege engines.

Snagged from Bureaucracy:

Trudy Booth quoting Shir: I achieved new bra today, and you know what? I don't think I'll EVER be tired of hearing compliments on my boobs

tommyrot: Um... did you mean to put Shir's boobs in Bureau?

brenda m: If so, I vote yes.

tommyrot: A vote for Shir's boobs is a vote for freedom!

Jon B.: If you vote against Shir's boobs, the terrorists win!

ChiKat: I second Shir's boobs.

Shir: Yes!

Bless you, my dears. I never thought my boobs will make it here. It's an exciting day for us.

Polter-Cow: When do we open Light Boobs?
