That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Someone on my facebook is burbleing about Rahm Immanuel poking our local representative in the ribs in the shower?

Was it a fun shower? Or did your rep piss Rahm off?

Watched "Doomed" in class on Friday and finished it up today. Now my students are talking about wanting to have an after school Buffy club so they can see all the episodes. I love my job.

The whole Massa thing is confusing, Sophia. It sounds like your Facebook friend is conflating several different stories about him.

Isn't Louise Slaughter your representative, though?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I had no idea it was so fraught!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yes, sorry-- Eric Massa is the representative for everyone who lives near me except me.

on this map, I am in the little circle of yellow:

'What I Really Ought To Be Doing Is Fracking You'

Does Eric Massa watch Battlestar Galactica?

All I know is that around here the Democrats who seem to be supporting Massa are full of invective about Obama and Emmanuel for "running him out". They also seem to watch to poke Rahm Emmanuel in the ribs in the shower????

Thanks for the link, at my place we were all wondering what the heck that was.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I know aasloads of women who would start giggling like Beavis at the thought of Rahm, showers, and, um, poking.(Way too many of my online girls who are not Buffistas think it's cute to list their online name as say, Whimsy McDumshit-Emmanuel...which fandom can I blame for this and can I send it back there?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wah. The guy at the T Mobile store turned my phone off. Which, normally, not an issue. Except I took it in because my power button wasn't working. So now that he popped the battery out, I can't turn it back on. I'm hoping that connecting it to my computer turns it back on (it worked over the weekend), but I'm grumpy because I did tell him it would happen.

And I have to pay UPS charges for the warranty replacement, and find a UPS dropoff. Hopefully I can do that in our mailroom at work.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Xposted with Bitches.

Oh all-knowing hivemind, I come seeking assistance on a friend's behalf.

Friend foolishly and generously co-signed on a car lease with his now ex-gf. She also moved in while they were dating and is still living there and paying a pittance for rent. He gave her 30 days notice and now she's making life hell, has not looked for a place yet, and he's afraid she's going to take the car and leave him on the hook for payments.

Friend lives in Wake County, NC, and can't afford a lawyer.

Any words of wisdom? Online resources?
