I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

I think zombie-mania has gone too far. Are you ready for ZombieFit?

ZombieFit is a parkour-based "functional fitness" program designed to have you ready for when the dead shall rise again. It's taught in St. Charles, which is far enough out of the city to give you a fighting chance for survival.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Huh. WWL doesn't have a whole lot on it either.

The New Orleans Saints have signed former Black and Gold running back Deuce McAllister.

Sources confirm McAllister is back on the team after more than a year away from football.

During the offseason, the Saints released McAllister who had been struggling with multiple knee injuries.

We are awaiting details on McAllister's planned role with the Saints as they prepare for a divisional playoff game with the Cardinals. So far, officials are only saying he is on the "active roster."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Not much on the T-P site either:

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, "he's signed" and a lot of speculation is all I've seen.

Also, I loved this reminder that Chicago owes a lot to Haiti (namely, its first founding father, Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable).

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Speaking of phrasing, Hec, thought you might enjoy another colloquialism I heard recently: The rain was "coming down like piss out of a boot." Speaker is Georgia native (not sure what part) in his 50s.

I suspect this is conflating "couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel" and "raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock."

My grandpa(an Okie, also Muscogee) used to call anything worthless "like tits on bacon,"

"like tits on bacon,"

Two great things that don't necessarily go great together.

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

That phrase just makes me think of pigs breastfeeding. Which? Quite reasonable.

Oh, god. Visio, take me away.
