I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

DH just told me he got some Disney people upset with him. He's trying to book Mickey for an event in Philly next month. They seemed pretty reluctant so he suggested they send another, "lesser" character. The Disney rep got pissy with him and said, "Sir, there ARE NO lesser characters! They are ALL special!"

Haaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha.

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

so I don't get to eat it.

Come down to SF. You can get fried liver and onions with a side of fresh sauteed spinach at the Pork Store. You'll have so much iron in your system I could stick a fridge magnet on your forehead.

Clarbelle the Cow is a lesser character.

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

I'm watching Zero Hour on TCM.

It's the movie they used as the plot for Airplane.

It's hilariously not hilarious. So grim-jawed! So post-War Manliness.

And Dana Andrews is sweating like Albert Brooks in Broadcast News.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ND, he also wants to know if you have any pull and can get us a Mickey.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We did Sade songs with our last band. It had super fun harmony parts.

Tonight with the current band, we did Tom Petty. Which we're doing tomorrow for church.

I love liver. I order chicken livers & gizzards once or twice a month when we stop by our favorite truck stop dive restaurant run by a benevolent dictator Navajo lady. So good. Especially when (whitefonted because this is Natter and not Bitches) I'm on my period and need the iron. Then sometimes I crave liver. I would eat liver and onions all the time if it were available to me, but the SO hates it.

I've never heard Sade, but I totally guessed her when I had no idea who the artist was during the music round on trivia night, and I was right.

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

Does it count as a mickey if you ask for it?

It's the movie they used as the plot for Airplane.

I need to see that. My brother stumbled upon it a few months ago. Maybe also on TCM? I think he came in partway through, so he was like, "Huh. This plot is oddly familiar but I can't quite place it... Oh! Wow! I had no idea how faithful Airplane was!"

I don't really have a conclusion to this anecdote but: it was cute because my brother dorked out. The end!

They actually bought the rights so they could follow the plot exactly.

The line, "I guess I picked the wrong week to quit smoking" is in the movie.

Sterling Hayden is the ex-commander guiding him in from the ground.

Whoa - guy with an eyepatch! So random.
