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 think he had a classmate whose father died.

I suspected it was something like this when you first mentioned it.

Ah, that's a whole 'nother level of scary for him.

There was an episode of Little House on the Prairie where a baby died. I freaked the fuck out. I didn't know a baby could die.

Wikipedia tells me I was four and my sister about seven months old. I do not envy my mother that one. I'm tearing up a little thinking about it, actually. No doubt the birth of my niece yesterday is part of my getting upset, but I remember that freak out pretty vividly.

Parenting. Not for the weak.

HA! I saw it and immediately thought of you. I don't know if you can tell, but the entire thing is covered with all sorts of punctuation marks. FUN.

Seriously, bobsled doods, I know you're world class athletes but couldn't you put a little skirt on that thing?

I wonder what it would be like to be a man and feel that comfortable in my body. I know its not a universal truth, but I've seen hundreds and thousands of shirtless men who, were they women, wouldn't even be seen sleeveless nevermind in a bikini top.

I could see some of them. That is a damn fine wall.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

A lot of the animal-friendly claims on egg cartons aren't actually regulated in the US.

I buy the Farmers Hen House eggs, which I haven't found any bad reports about. I don't ask for the hens to have a perfect life; I just don't what them to suffer the torture of a chicken factory.
