Also, I managed to lose Loki in the basement. He really likes going way back into the closets and disappearing.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
They're called Natterer's bats.
Awwww! They're my new favorite bat.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Happy belated birthday, Liese!!
having kids write letters about "what they could do to help the President." I can see how that could be seen as problematic.
George HW Bush used the exact same language in his speech to schoolchildren with no protests.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Is there a transcript of George HW's speech somewhere? I tried to find one last night, but no luck.

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
I had a dream last night that I was hanging out with ita's Mom and we were discussing the old In Living Color sketch about the West Indian family that all had a bunch of jobs.

I'm officially seceding from my family. Who wants to belong to my new one?
I'd love to, particularly if it means ditching most of my old family.
It was an incredibly long day, and theoretically I'm going back out to hear David Olney and some other singer-songwriters here for the festival. (Townes Van Zandt once said his favorite writers were Mozart, Lightnin' Hopkins, Bob Dylan and David Olney.) I wish there was a way to get there without putting my feet on the ground again.
I embarrassed myself in public about a hundred ways today, because I ended up having to be the voice of the festival to what seemed like thousands of people, and I appeared to lose many brain cells each hour I was there. Also, they may not want me back as a captain because I complained about the little old lady volunteer who yelled at everyone.
Here's a small petty whine about the little old lady. She harassed me for an hour to put more tape on the signs because they would fall off and told me she knew how to put up a sign because she was a math teacher for 35 years. She said no one had told her what to do. A co-captain told her something to do and she said that was the wrong way to do it. We said it was really our call and the little old lady said, "I'll listen to you when you listen to me." I know I should be nice to annoying old people, because I'll be one someday, but I was dealing with about 800 Charlaine Harris fans who were, collectively, less trouble than one volunteer.

I want to join the new family!
I am with my family now. But I am tired, cranky and just want to go to sleep. So I am couting the minutes until it's acceptable to go to bed. In the meantime, my parents are listening to the TV too loud and every ten minutes, my mother tells me about another thing that I can eat, even though I had two portions of lasagna at supper.
