I only caught part of this segment on TDS, so I peeked at the web video.

The FOX commenter . . . does she have any clue how insane she sounds? She really needs to watch this video, come to the conclusion that her criticism has jumped the shark, and rethink her life.

It's the Christmas ornament bit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

her criticism has jumped the shark

I read this as "jumped the snark."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

does she have any clue how insane she sounds?

I saw that bit and I did wonder a little if she was, for some reason, trying to sound insane. Because that was pretty darn out there.

You know, I've had to cancel a trip due to weather before, but that wasn't MY weather. If I can't leave sunday, I can probably find another flight later in the week, but fuuuuuuuuuuck.

Sorry, not really engaged right now in anything but weather woe.

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

Thanks for the link, Tom. I hadn't considered Kobe Bryant's dip in fortune. But he had criminal allegations, which is a whole different ball of wax. Nobody really seemed to care that Michael Jordan allegedly cheated on his wife. But he was primarily sports. The article makes a good point that Tiger is bigger than golf in a different way.

I take comfort in the idea that I don't think I'll ever have to deal with hearing Federer cheated on his wife. At least not with another woman. My sister is convinced she's a beard. I do have to admit that his hair is quite fabulous, but I'm not sure that's enough--she'd been sure he was stepping out with Tiger. They did have a text relationship going.

How irrelevant is it that I'm really disappointed by the quality of his texting? His literacy seems more relevant to me than his morals.

I kinda wondered that too, but I can't imagine why she would do that.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Today, I got to deliver a fully decorated Christmas tree to a family who otherwise would not have one. A 19 month old baby girl got her first Christmas tree and I got to be the one to bring it.

Fucking hell, I felt like Santa Claus. I think I'm still high with it.

That's awesome.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Aww, that is awesome, Cashmere.

I am picturing you with a Christmas tree that fold up like an umbrella, though!
