See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Matt, not much, but it does turn up every now and then.

Mona and I just went to the store. On the way back, I noticed fire trucks! police cars! an ambulance! at this house on the corner. I couldn't figure out what was happening because I wasn't seeing anything that looked emergency-like.

Then I realized there was a CAR on their front porch.

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

Crap, another lefty cafe in Evanston is closing. Wild Tree (on the corner of Davis and Oak) is closing due to bankruptcy. They just weren't doing well in this economy.

I don't know but I will confess to a having similar reaction. So we can be bad people together.

They took a seedy part of town that wasn't hurtin' nobody (except for the occasional murder) and turned it all touristy and sports-bar-ish....

The verb for this is: Giuliani.

"They totes Giulianied 9th and Hennepin, man!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Holy shit - one of the A's top prospects in the minors has decided to leave baseball and join the priesthood. WTF, Grant Desme! I need your home runs more than God needs your service.

Montana Lance, 9-Year-Old Texas Boy, Found Dead At Stewart's Creek Elementary School

Montana Lance, a 9-year-old boy from Texas, was found dead in a bathroom at Stewart's Creek Elementary School in The Colony, Texas, on Thursday, the Dallas Morning News reports.

...

While the medical examiner has not released an official cause of death, police have said it was an apparent suicide.

Lt. Darren Brockway told the Associated Press that the boy "had reportedly hung himself in a bathroom" and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Damn. Nine is pretty young for a suicide, huh?

Now I'm wondering how young one can be and still have the desire and ability to commit suicide....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I should get the larger pot for myself, which I can use for making MORE chili as well as making the regular amount of chili. Is my reasoning sound?

Fully sound, Chef Cow. Buy the biggie.

My fave is "3rdFloorAssholeSTFUOnYourBalcony." Or maybe "we can hear you having sex." There's also "wecanhearyouhavingsex," so that seems to be a popular one.

Then there's "GetOffMyLawn"...
