Megan's important realization
This is a key finding. If you flee, stay fled.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Other things I learned:
--plaid is not red, but it doesn't matter anyway
--don't mess with a neighborhood construction guy who views a park as his own personal world
--put another person's name on your keychain, preferably another race/ethnicity than your own
--when an officer asks if you've have anything to drink that
morning,
don't say "a few beers"

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?
Cass, we're glad you weren't murderized, too. Good grief, woman.
Flee, stay fled. Check.
Y'all I have to be up in 6 hours. Sleep is being an illusive bitch tonight.

Unless you're on an episode of Law and Order, because then you'll get arrested again by the same cop 20 years later and they'll find some way to charge you with a hundred different crimes.

Exactly. Or you'll flee to another country, and there will be crazy extradition plans, and they'll find out something even WORSE about you, etc, etc.

Oh, Rule #7 is avoid being on any Law & Order.

Barring a couple of highly publicized serial killers, it's a pretty safe area to fall asleep at rest stop. I just was seriously startled when I realized - upon waking - that I'd carefully gotten away from the crowd and then slept in an unlocked car... Oopsie? I was, it should be said, totally refreshed by that nap and a totally safe driver all of the way back to Oregon.

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
My parents usually decided to just shrug and have my mom drive, rather than try to explain the difference between "had a drink" and "drunk" to elementary school kids.
Do you think they could go explain it to my mom?
Signed, I top 200 lbs, I'm forty years old, yes I can have a glass of wine with dinner.

That's a damn lie, by the way, I'm still 39.
But I am really looking forward to sentences staring with, "Mother, I'm FORTY YEARS OLD...".

I was thrilled when I turned 30, because I figured any lectures my mother chose to deliver were because of her issues, because I was 30, dammit, and that meant I was a grown-up (for purposes of not having to listen to maternal lectures).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, I think I am taking notes on What Megan Learned on Jury Duty and I have to ask for clarification on
plaid is not red, but it doesn't matter anyway
I'm just really curious as to what that means.
