You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Holy shit the space shuttle just went by I guess? And that was the loudest sonic boom I ever heard. That was loud.

ETA: thank god for twitter.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If you are near Edwards AFB, then yes, it was the space shuttle. I just saw it on Olbermann. And I thought you were joking!

I am two hours from there. It was really fucking loud.

I heard it one of the times I was out in LA. Yes, it is.

I'm even further south than you are(Inglewood)and it shook the whole building! The family got a good jolt in Torrance too. They usually aren't that loud. It really was loud

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Further review on that YouTube video indicates that (a) they pranked him because he snuck around looking at presents and (b) they did actually give him an XBox.

However, I still want to break their kneecaps with a crowbar.

Adults shouldn't "prank" kids. Period. I despise so-called practical jokes, anyway, but they're particularly despicable when played on someone who's not emotionally mature enough to handle them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Am home. All I want to do is put on some pjs, pound some NyQuil and sleep forever, but I seem to be STARVING. This does not seem fair.

I am also home, and I have my inside pants on, and plan to curl up on the sofa until it is time to move to the bed. I stopped on the way home and bought soup, even though I have no interest in food.

The big question for me is nyquil or whiskey.

Or maybe the question is in what order.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Perkins, if I was there, I'd feed you some bourbon and miso soup. You get some rest, please!
