You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Because books.

My favorite scar is the one on my chin -- my mom's ring snagged on a chicken pox scab and tore it off too early. Other than that it's surgical scars (C-section and gall bladder).

Buffista-worthy injuries might include: dropping a phone on my foot and breaking my little toe, and burning my upper arm with the cigarette in my mouth (not while drunk, sadly). Oh, and the freezer door once swung back and gave me a spectacular black eye.

One of my few permanent scars is on my forehead from being dropped by my sister when I was a baby. So when people ask if I was dropped on my head, I can show them the evidence.

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

Cool xkcd, for anyone with kids or who was a kid:

there are very few cool heads in the comment threads.

I choose the stories I read comments on very carefully. Mostly to get a quick sense of how local mood is running on a particular story in the local papers. And even then I often abandon it quickly.

Argh. Landscaping co said I could leave a tarp and a cheque in my mailbox if I had to leave, but she neglected to tell me how much it would cost, which I neglected to catch since I was outside at the time, trying to figure out what was wrong with my mower...and now I am only getting their voicemail. TINOOOOO!

Even the comments to The Tennessean's flood wrap-up [link] include comments such as

Has Barack Hussein Obama been informed of the massive flooding in the Middle Tennessee area?

Has any reporter from the Tennessean.com or any other area reporter asked Phil Bredesen if he has been in contact with Barack Hussein Obama?

Do they think Barack Hussein Obama caused the middle Tennessee flooding? Like, he can control the weather now, too?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

No, Pudge controls the weather.

Tony Stark controls the weather! It was in the FCBD comic.
