Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Eyebrow waxing might hurt less when you've got little kid follicles. My thicker hair hurts worse than my thinner.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

still gross here. mac has movied with Uncle G and is now home, I did not manage much while he was gone:

1 hr of tv off TiVO
folded and put away laundry
changed sheets on my bed
gathered up another load of laundry
counted out pieces of one of the Duplo sets we are selling and bagged it all up
refilled the plastic bin the Duplos had been in with mac's current Legos.

I have not received a call from the freecycler who was going to come get a filing cabinet today. I don't have a good feeling about this. Want stuff gone!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Little girl who just lost and whose mother responded by screaming at the judges: "Now I don't like pageants, because I want to go to the jungle." While miming binoculars with her hands.

Same girl's mother, a little later: "I want Diamond to win the Queen title. Once she wins that Queen title, then if she wants she can slow down and concentrate on her work at school."

There's only one kid on this show who seems to actually be having fun.

Why do little kid pageants have a swimsuit competition? I always assumed that the point of swimsuit competitions in regular pageants was to judge the women's figures. Four-year-olds don't have figures.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

so , these pagent people would think the sexgames for kids in Brave New World were ok? I am sure there are some sane people involved in kid pagents. And I can see some scholarship money being worth soe of it but since I don't have my eyebrows waxed...
