Budweiser has a weird sort of cachet in the UK, too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Used to be in Canada too, where at college bars anyway, only the douchebags trying to show they had a lot of money would order Bud. (ETA: it certainly was priced like a premium there, and was at the time one of the only American beers you could get.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The One And Only Ping-Pong Kitty (VIDEO)
Get ready to ready to be bombarded with cuteness. It's a cat on a ping pong table and well, quite frankly, it doesn't get much better than that. On a side note, one of the people filming (two are required to capture this awesomeness) seems set on sending this clip into "America's Funniest Home Videos," meaning it's very likely that this is an artifact from thousands of years ago.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I suppose in reality it's too much to ask most women to be copacetic with their high school boyfriend being a contract killer. However, it would disturb me so much less that it made me impatient.
You being you, I can see that. I personally liked that she stood up to him at first. "You don't get to have me"
Is hipster douchebag redundant? Nevermind, I like the way it rolls off the tongue so much I'm going to keep using it even if it is.
When I was in Scotland 15 years ago, they were all about Miller beer.

I've been informed by my company that the IRS will not let me expense food on a day trip unless I am away from home until after 7pm, and even then I am only allowed to expense dinner. However, that is "expensing a meal for individual travel" and not "providing food for a meeting" which is a different issue (and a whole different category in my expense reports!)

Keep breathing!
FAFSA was a pain last time, asking for stuff I had to really dig up. Since I haven't yet done my "dump all the receipt bags on the table and sort out the tax stuff" dealie yet, the digging up was worrying me. Yeah, 2 in college and one on the way - and FAFSA has no field for "tuitions paid to Jewish day schools" which handily eat up more than half the family income. I know, 1st world problems I chose for myself, but still grrrr.
Sent from my crackberry- hope this works.

One thing to remember about the FAFSA is that you can do estimated tax info, and go back and fix it later.

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
I think of PBR as beer soda. You know, like orange soda or grape soda.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I kind of like the (possibly outdated) British use of "Robin" as a nickname for Robert.
