(Though I should state, in case it's not clear, the kid's mother's gone a wee bit over the top here.)
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

May I root against the New Orleans Saints?
No, you may not. Rooting against the Saints is like rooting against Elin Nordegren. They're the Sentimental Team of the Century; if Dick Enberg were calling the NFC championship game, he'd need a trailer truck of Kleenex. Even if you forget everything that New Orleans endured during Hurricane Katrina—and how could you?—they're the Saints, the former Aints, one of the most hard-luck franchises in the history of hard luck. Not long ago, newborns came into the world in New Orleans hospitals with tiny grocery bags on their heads.
If the Saints win this weekend, we expect the Louisiana Superdome to levitate off the ground, stop at Parkway Bakery & Tavern for a roast beef po'boy and fly straight to Miami for the Super Bowl.
The quote about the Vikings 4th down touchdown against the Cowboys is priceless as well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ha! I had not. That's great.
Eta: the description of Prince's skybox is also excellent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I have no idea what to do with this information. Anyone (Jesse?) able to tell me if this is an OK group? It looks like only one of the sites has any information on them. [link] Thanks.
Well, I don't know. They're Hare Krishnas, if you care about that, but I think that makes their financials look weird -- like they spend almost no money to provide zillions of meals? I'm not sure.

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

Huh. Salon has an article on the Russian ice dancing champs' aboriginal-themed routine. Makes me wince to watch it.

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

Awww, one of the blond puppies just tried to squeeze into the puppy pile and got rejected by his/her sib so hard that he/she did a full body roll off the top of the pile to the other side of the bed. He/she then got right back over to the pile and wriggled into the middle of it, thus pushing the rejecting sibling out of the way.
You go, puppy! Don't let your sibs push you around like that!

I'm watching Dylan Moran's Monster comedy special on Youtube. Sure, it has Czech subtitles, but hey!
