Yay, ita!
I am wearing green today. It's one of my favorite colors, but I do work around a lot of 13 and 14 year olds who would totally pinch me. So, green.
I also have corned beef on the stove. Should be done in about an hour.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was a kid, there was some weird bit of playground lore that said that, if you wore green on a Wednesday, that meant you were gay. So when St. Patrick's Day fell on a Wednesday, there was always discussion about whether it was OK to wear green or not, and the boys who were the usual targets of bullies would get beaten up whether they wore green or not.
Kids = weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had the same thing! Except beef hot dogs.

It's weirdly true.

“Not dead yet!”
My late lunch/dinner was Mexican. Yummy shrimp wrapped in bacon with lots of cheese and Other Stuff.
I'm not wearing green, but then again, I don't have a lot of it in my wardrobe, as it makes me look like ass.
One of the rare times I got in trouble at school was fourth or fifth grade or so-- I had green hair ties or barrettes or something for St. Paddy's, again, not owning much in the way of green clothing. Obnoxious little boy said it didn't count and that he was going to pinch me. I said, "Please don't pinch me-- I think it's a stupid tradition."
He pinched me.
I punched him.
I got detention for a week even though he initiated the physical contact after I'd asked him not to. But reason I got in trouble was a) clearly I had no sense of humor or community that I wouldn't go along with the traditions, and b) I was a girl and really should have had better control than to retaliate in a physical fashion.
Ah, the joys of going to school in the 70s.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
At my elementary school, wearing green on a Wednesday meant you were horny. I could probably count on one hand the number of 4th graders who actually understood what that was supposed to mean, but people got teased about it anyway.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Why is my wisdom tooth site hurting again? It was extracted almost four months ago, and suddenly, it's hurting as badly as it did right after the surgery, maybe even worse.

Tea partiers mock man with Parkinson's. [link]
Video shot by the Columbus Dispatch from today's Honk and Wave in Support of Health Care at Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy's district office contains a segment wherein the teabaggers mock and scorn an apparent Parkinson's victim telling him "he's in the wrong end of town to ask for handouts", calling him a communist and throwing money at him to "pay for his health care".
In the same video, a bit after that part, a guy shouts, "Keep Obama's hands off my Big Mac."
