Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now we know what Anya's been up to lately:

Teacher with rabbit phobia to sue 14-year-old for drawing bunny

The teacher, from Vechta, Germany, says she was traumatised by the drawing, and claims the girl knew it would terrify her.

She had transferred to the school where a pupil from her former school had just become a pupil and told her new friends about the teacher's fear of rabbits.

"We did it for fun and out of curiosity", one of the girls told a court, adding, "We wanted to see if she would really freak out."

School officials removed her from the class and now the teacher is seeking compensation for her terror and her loss of earnings, her lawyer Manfred Bormann told the court.

The case continues.

Always Anti-fascist!

For the good of democracy, by all means mock it. It's incredibly stupid. I mean, all the problems they are ignoring while they make crank calls and braid each others hair are far less funny, but that doesn't mean that whoever wrote that should get out of it without several insulting nicknames. And has every wingnut rented The Island of Dr. Moreau recently? Cause it seems like that went through some southern state a few months back with Rachel and Kent, especially, finding lots of humor in it. But I guess my old feeling that I don't belong here wasn't just me being Emo Gimp. What's next, a resolution calling Olbermann a poopyhead? They'll want something to do on Monday, when they're fresh.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Roll Call newspaper reported that at 11. p.m on Tuesday Kennedy was seen entering the bar , the Capitol Lounge and taking a seat at the counter.

Whoa, that's bad. Capitol Lounge is not a swank martini bar or a nice club, it's the kind of bar that has beat the clock specials with Bud Light. I spent way too much of my 20s there.

This is particularly harsh ending to an article.

Let us hope it does not end up in the gutter like so many fine political careers before.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I gotta say, on behalf of Arizona, I'm really sorry. I miss being in New Mexico with my favorite legislator evah.

brenda, I wave in your general direction! I love Sedona, wish I could have swung by to see you there!

Sparky, ooh, ooh, I know this one! ETSU actually has a great music program. My husband (well, boyfriend at the time) studied trumpet there. We didn't actually go to school there, but at the tiny neighboring Christian college, Milligan. Which had a good vocal program but jack all for instruments, which is why he went over to ETSU.

Anyway! It has been years and years and years since I've been there, but I still have some friends over there I can ping for contacts if you want. As far as gift card stuff goes, there's a mall pretty near there. Used to be the Miracle Mall I think, but looks like now it's called the Mall at Johnson City. Which is original I guess. Ooh, and the world's best sweet tea is at Poor Richards.

Don't you love Buffistas? We know somebody everywhere.

What's next, a resolution calling Olbermann a poopyhead? They'll want something to do on Monday, when they're fresh.

No, they'll probably just write a law to ban him airing anywhere in the state.

Kate P's in Nashville, too. With her FEE-ahn-say.

Hee! But yes, Nashville is not anywhere particularly close to Johnson City (not even in the same time zone!). Sparky, if only your nephew had chosen MTSU instead of ETSU!

Our wings are not tired.

Don't you love Buffistas? We know somebody everywhere.

So totally true. Every time I am getting ready to travel somewhere, my boss will ask me which "Buffy person" I will be meeting. I told her about my funny medley evening with Sparky and Maria and she laughed and laughed.

I'm excited; tonight I am going to the Giants game- they're having a special "TweetUp" party and I am going to meet a lot of the cool peeps that I commiserate with about sports. Best part is that I am going to the party but then sitting in the fantastic season tickets of my friend Joan. I was too nervous about sitting with all the TweetUp people in the official section; I'm shy! (and also, they're crappy seats, heh!)
