"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Last night, I made croquettes for dinner: [link]

The evil! I just joined and posted a recipe there today, out of pure slacking-from-paper-writing and whim. I also did that BEOFRE I didn't bother to find how one can delete herself in the future.

Didn't look hard enough, but I sure love my exit right.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I don't see any problem with most of the lunch boxes. However, I'm sure not giving up on mine (thanks again, Sox! I just looked at the picture again)!

And, x-posting with Bitches:

I can't remember - if I give a reference as a footnote, but haven't read it and don't use it or analyse it in my paper ("for further research on x, see y, z and q") - does it still have to be mentioned in the bibliography? (Chicago style)

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

Excellent thread on Skepchick yesterday -

Pick a scientist, living or dead, who you think would win in a giant, no-holds-barred fight against every other scientist. Show your work.

Ann, that's a ferret.

10 Worst Lunchboxes Ever

We do get attached to our lunchboxes. One of those Progresso soup commercials in the "Campbell's is for kids, Progresso is for grownups" campaign ends, "Now, about that lunchbox...."

The scorned lunchbox is the same one I had in first grade. Which is why I tend to avoid Progresso soups.

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

I've had nasty insomnia the last two nights. I need to take a nap, but first I need a place to hide....

Also, I never had a lunchbox, as I always had the school lunch.

I was forever losing lunchboxes. I must have gone through 6 or 7 before my mom gave up and started using paper bags.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

The Governator still has the sword.

It might explain some of his more bizarre successes in his current profession.

The Governator still has the sword.

That's kinda awesome.

I wonder if the Governator ever enters difficult political negotiations by dressing up as Conan and carrying that sword....

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I think my first themed lunchbox was Bobby Sherman--it would have been around 1972.
