Speaking of People Suck, did we hear about the "fake prom" the nice people of Mississippi sent that sweet lesbian girl and her girlfriend to last week?

OMG, WTF is wrong with people?!?

Thanks, P-C, for balancing out the universe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Eh, it's what I do. Saving people, hunting things. Except without the hunting or the saving.

JZ, are you guys done with 30 Rock S1? I can bring S2 if you're ready.

While I am on the topic of DVDs, does anyone want still-wrapped 24 S1 DVDs?

msbelle, have you read Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese? I heard it recommended on my books podcast and thought of you.

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?

People do suck. Except for P-C. He totally rocks.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

P-C, Hec would probably burst into tears if you showed up with a chicken burrito.

I'm humbled and/or completely humiliated by the gigantic kindness of Buffistas. I don't wish this kind of shitpile on anyone here, ever, ever, but if the universe smites any one of you despite my wishes (which are clearly worse than useless as regards myself), please put me on your 2 a.m. panic phone call list, all of you. I'll move heaven and earth for anyone here.

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

Just about every time that I can remember seeing a study saying that doing something during pregnancy will lower the baby's birth rate, the point of all the press around the study was that low birth weight is associated with all sorts of complications, and therefore pregnant women shouldn't do whatever the study was looking at.

Until this one. [link] In a really small study, the babies of mothers who exercised during pregnancy had an average birth weight a few ounces lower than the babies of mothers who didn't. And the conclusion is that women should exercise during pregnancy in order to lower their babies' birth weight, because babies who are heavier at birth are more likely to become obese. Seriously? The "fight childhood obesity" thing is now extending to fetuses?

Our wings are not tired.

P-C, show up with a chicken burrito and the As game on the radio and Hec WILL burst into tears! Doooo eeeet!

JZ, no humiliation; everyone needs help sometimes.

P-C, *take pictures* of the bursting into tears!

Hil, yes, the childhood obesity in the womb thing has been around a few years, now.

Awesome. Will do. I will probably hit Cactus. What's his preference? I really like the mole verde they got going there, but if he's not into sauces, I can just get a regular one.

P-C, show up with a chicken burrito and the As game on the radio and Hec WILL burst into tears! Doooo eeeet!

I have no idea how to do the second part! What station?

P-C, *take pictures* of the bursting into tears!

Ha ha ha ha. I don't want to embarrass his manliness.

Everybody needs help sometimes is a true fact. I'm glad P-C is there to help you all out tonight.
