Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The ads tell me that Canada Dry is made with real ginger...

If you put yogurt over a cheesecloth overnight, you strain out the liquid (whey) and get "greek" yogurt.

How does that work out financially, I wonder? I mean, Greek yogurt is more expensive, but you get more yogurt/less whey, and you don't have to buy cheesecloth.

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 say everyone should come to work Friday dressed up in early 19th century Bourbon Restoration finery just to make sure they're not too casual!

I think people should take their wardrobe cues from the ST:TOS episode "Mirror Mirror."

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

Just don't... you know... say that to a Greek.

No, try looking for Schweppervescence.-

Thanks, I'll grab that next time. I should be able to make it to the end of the work day.

Silly me, thinking that all ginger ale had ginger in it. Next you'll be telling me there's no ale either....

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

Cass, may I pleeeeeeeeease tag this?

Of course.

Ugh, we went from no summer to hello start of a multi-day heatwave today. Through the weekend at minimum. Do not want.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Except daggers ... really not safe in all too many workplaces.

Because books.

And yet daggers would probably improve most workplaces almost immediately...

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

I feel compelled to say there's no particular evidence that Hilter was an atheist. From what I've researched his theology was pretty whack, making it hard to classify as any particular thing. But, the argument that was made to me was that he had to be an atheist in order to be capable of what he did.

For that matter, he wasn't a vegetarian, either. (People have made the "Hitler was a vegetarian -- why do you want to be like Hitler?" argument to me.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That reminds me of one my favorite bits from Daria, when she's babysitting a couple of twins, whom she offers sugary cereal or something. To which they respond:

"Sugar is bad."
"Sugar rots your teeth."
"Sugar makes you hyper."
"Hitler ate sugar."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hugs and ~ma to those who want/need them.

I managed to catch my pinky between the chair and my computer desk yesterday. Oh, joy, more bruises.
