I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, New Guy? Don't take my power supply home with you over the weekend. If you're not going to be here before I show up, it's really annoying.

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

I think you should smite him now.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Is it wrong that I can't stand one of Owen's classmates? This is the kid who called him an idiot on the playground the first week of school. He's also incredibly insolent (for a six year old) to me when I'm volunteering in the classroom. I've tried to like him. But he's a shit. Today he pushed Owen out of line when they were lining up to go to music class. RIGHT in front of me. I don't know if I should mention it to his teacher at our IEP meeting this afternoon or if it will make me look like a nervous mom. Or worse, just a mean person.

More conservative attacks on Palin:

Authors: McCain aides worried that Palin was ‘mentally unstable’

According to an advance copy thoroughly dog-ear'd by The New York Times, some McCain staffers who worked directly with Palin began to worry that she could be "mentally unstable."

After her misstatements and outright lies repeatedly caused the campaign to stumble and backpedal, a discussion began to emerge: Were McCain to win, how best could they relegate her "to the largely ceremonial role that premodern vice presidents inhabited"?

After all, "it was inconceivable," they wrote, "if McCain fell ill or died, the country be left in the hands of a President Palin," according to the Times.

The book also claims she almost completely neglected preparing for her debate with Vice President Joe Biden, and couldn't even pronounce his name correctly, calling him "O'Biden" repeatedly.

They instead encouraged her to ask, "Can I just call you Joe?"

The former lawmaker is also being targeted by McCain's top political strategist, who gave a tell-all interview to "60 Minutes".

"There were numerous instances that she said things that were – that were not accurate that ultimately, the campaign had to deal with,” said Steve Schmidt. "And that opened the door to criticism that she was being untruthful and inaccurate. And I think that is something that continues to this day."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

AND I got a third reservation. YAY. Project eat a nice places before you move is going better than planned (given that I cancelled all ideas of lunches and brunches this coming weekend).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know if I should mention it to his teacher at our IEP meeting this afternoon or if it will make me look like a nervous mom. Or worse, just a mean person.

I don't think so -- both of those sound like specific out-of-line things for the kid to do, and the teacher should know.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

No. Unfortunately, some kids are just unlikable.

Yes, you should. Let her know about the behavior you're seeing and that you're concerned about Owen. That's totally fair. And, she needs to know because if there is a pattern of behavior, and it sounds like there is, he may be in need of some interventions.

Because books.

I'm willing to bet these aren't the only incidents with that kid, either, Cash. Behavior like that tends to be across the board.

Okay, even freakier is that she looks like a sexed-up Julie Kavner.

Can they program it to giggle in the voice Marge Simpson uses when Homer gets frisky?
