Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If Paul's status as or becoming a zombie spawned Paul is Dead I say we gotta let him have it.

(And if Paul is Dead is NOT a critical factor in that book we should burn it in big bonfires of duh.)

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

Zombies are totally undead.

Yea. But The Zombies are not. Stupid missing "The" causing undead confusion....

eta: I mean, I don't think any of their lyrics mention "brains."

I'm tickled that its the Black folks who DON'T have neanderthal DNA. So many racists have so much spinning to do about who all is "primitive" and who is not. Not to mention the likely-racist tendency to make not-homosapien people dark-skinned. Uh... nope. Maybe not.

My mind slapped these two together, and I was all "Wow, Owen's pretty precocious, but that feedback's a little specific for a 6 yo..."

har!

So I have a date tonight, with someone I met at an online dating site. We've emailed for a while and talked on the phone once, and tonight we meet for the first time.

Her profile says this about a "first date":

A first should be all about getting to each other. It could be coffee or a drink, but conversation is a must. I need to feel that instant "click".

I don't think I've ever felt that "instant 'click'" - it always takes me a while to feel a connection with someone I'm dating or whatever.

What is this instant click thing she's talking about?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

tommyrot, I just know my own experience of it - it's a spark of excitement, a little rush. It's partly physical attraction, but not entirely. It's partly finding out interesting things, things you have in common or that you think are cool. ::shrugs:: MHO.

What is this instant click thing she's talking about?

Like being attracted to someone and wanting to know more about them and spend more time with them? I don't think it needs to mean knowing exactly what kind of relationship you'll want with that person just then, necessarily.

Just speaking for myself, if I don't feel some spark of attraction right away I'm almost never going to.

Granted, often enough I feel it and the other person clearly doesn't so I stick him in the friend pile, there for him to remain until the sun goes out (much to my dismay).

I don't think the click feeling is a great or universal thing, its just a thing.

Huh. Well I guess I've had that happen - and even had the other person feel the same way a few times... just not that often.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

He created a story at pbskids.com and emailed me a link.
