SOMEBODY ELSE POST IT'S GETTING LONELY IN HERE!
Anyway, local issues colliding on a neighborhood Yahoo group has led to this subject line:
Missing Geese and Fracking
Some people juggle geese. Some people, well...
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.
'Shindig'
Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, I wish I weren't working from home so I couldn't have watched Jessica's link and therefore need more therapy.

Coming from you, I feel I deserve some kind of merit badge for that.

Because books.
I've never seen those noodles in a store, Jess, but I'm always dealing with big suburban supermarkets, and not the Whole Foods or TJs kind.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm waiting for Emmett and Matilda to wake up so I can shovel cereal into their little baby bird maws and take them to the matinee of Despicable Me.
It looks gorgeous and sunny out my back window. It hasn't been as foggy as usual this summer.

Check it out Chicagoistas:
********
The U.S. Senate voted unanimously late Wednesday to name a post office near Wrigley Field after the late folk singer and Cubs fan Steve Goodman.
By unanimous consent, the Senate gave the go-ahead to the resolution, which was sponsored by U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley D-Ill. and which passed the U.S. House in April in a 371-0 vote, to rename the Lakeview post office at 1343 W. Irving Park Road the “Steve Goodman Post Office Building.”
A Chicago native, the Grammy-winning Goodman died at age 36 in 1984 and is known for, among other things, having written the Cubs-themed songs “Go, Cubs, Go,” which fans sing at Wrigley Field after every Cub victory, and “A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request.”
“While most Chicagoans know him for the song we sing after every Cubs win, Steve Goodman’s contributions reach far beyond the ivy-covered walls of Wrigley,” Quigley said in a statement in March, when he introduced the legislation. “Goodman was one of the most prolific American songwriters and performers of our time whose songs have been played by Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett and John Denver and whose short but tremendous life reminds us how one person can impact so many others.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sure there's someplace in Chinatown that will sell you those noodles, Jess.
I am already hungry for lunch! Damn diet English muffins -- they run out too fast.

Wow -- now I am having a karaoke flashback to like 13 years ago.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ahahaha! This inevitably got sung at a karaoke bar in Nashville a few years ago when juliana, amyth, jessica, and katep and I met up there... I distinctly remember turning around while belting it out, along with the rest of the bar, to see bemused and maybe a little horrified looks on the faces of jessica and katep. David Allen Coe - not a universal phenomenon.
