Can someone explain this t-shirt to me?
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My guess is it's a Three Musketeers reference. Cardinal Richelieu. CARDINAL. GET IT.

Our wings are not tired.
We totally used Papyrus for our wedding invitations...though that was almost 6 1/2 years ago now. I swear I'd only seen that font maybe six times ever before then; within a year it was all over everything, everywhere, but I swear it wasn't that way in January 2004!
Oh, I *like* that font. It was that the woman was publicly counting down the days to her wedding that was so horror-musing!

The Biggest Oil Spills in History
If current estimates for the Deepwater Horizon oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico are correct, the massive spill could eventually dwarf that of Exxon Valdez spill of 1989 -- previously the largest in U.S. history -- by as much as three times. At a rate of 5,000 barrels a day, for an estimated 90 days, well over 20 million gallons of crude could be pumped out onto the Louisiana coastline. Even then, it might only crack the top 15 largest oil spills in world history. Here are the top five.
Top 15. Huh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooof, I told mac tonight that a young woman (30s) he met from my parents' church died this weekend. She had been in a long battle with a painful and debilitating disease.
Oh, so sad. Ugh.
In less-important news, it turns out, my 100-year-old (or whatever) window frames don't really work with a new window a/c unit. Luckily, I had bought a bunch of those foam strips, so I made it work.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Um. I still don't get it. That was apparently the working cubicle of a dental assistant. If she's anything like the staff in my dentist's office, half the clientele treat the techs as neices or granddaughters, and ask after the dentist's wife and kids, what classes and extracurriculars they're involved in this year. They know the names of the people the staff are dating, when they have fights or break up, what church they go to, and when they get engaged. The sign may just be a way of keeping interested people updated.
I realize not all professional offices are this way, but some are, and that sign would not be remarkable there.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. Just want to wrap you both up in a hug tonight.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Argh, I hate iBank. It thinks I have about two paychecks less in my checking account than I actually have, but I can't find the error! I've reconciled back to the beginning of 2010, which means it's further back than that, and it is DRIVING ME MAD.

Sorry, Bev. We just see it from different perspectives. I think publicly counting down to a wedding that is more than 20 days away is ridiculous. But, I think lots of things about weddings are ridiculous.
ETA: I ALWAYS put "cally" at the end of words that actually end with "cly".
(Or, is it "actuly"??!!")
