Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

In my neighborhood -- on Wednesday night people can add to whatever cans are not full -- usually we ask first. sometimes we offer if there is a project going on . We have green bin for green stuff, blue for garbage, gray for all recycle. Green bin space is premium. The neighbor we share a hedge with -- he trims it and gets to use our bin .

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

When I lived in Georgia, they were going hard core on trash. Recycling was unlimited but actual trash had to be in special blue bags that cost a buck each. Anything not in the bag, not picked up. [ETA: this was in Decatur - didn't apply elsewhere.]

Buying the bags at the hardware or grocery store was a bit of a pain, but you better believe you got serious about recycling, and fast.

A friend's dog has recently gone blind, and she does all of that. According to my friend's research, dogs have very good spatial memory, so their house is all laid out for her still in her mind.

Yeah, well, I've seen an elderly sheep dog do a header off the porch a few times in a truly horrifying (once you stop laughing) manner. So I don't know that they totally shake it off.

Roommate informs me that the Salvation Army across the street takes clothing donations. Yay.

Getting my life into more than a semblance of order continues apace. The amount of shit that I am getting done today actually makes me tired when I think about it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Whoa, really? I think that might make Komodo dragons even awesomer.

I know! The fun part: these venom glands are not small. How did people not notice before?

How closely are you going to look at a Komodo's jaw?

You may be asking the wrong person here.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Can anyone who went to ComicCon or who has seen pictures of it tell me what these girls are supposed to be?

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

Tino's minions?
