So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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

If you're born "in the caul" i.e. with membranes over your face, for example, it supposably gave the baby psychic powers. There are lots of them pressed between the pages of family bibles from hundreds of years ago.

In David Copperfield, he was born like that, and his mother sold the caul to someone who thought it would bring good luck, or something. She put an ad in the newspaper to sell it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Since I do not anticipate giving birth in a situation where I am at immediate risk for being chased down afterwards by a lion, I think I'll just wait for the nurses to bring me a sandwich.

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

Please note: I know supposably is not a word.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The caul, I get.

Eating of the placenta, no. Yes, some animals do it. Humans are animals, oui. But we are animals with multivitamins, grocery stores and PREPACKAGED STEAK.

We also don't rip out the vulnerable underbelly of our prey with fang and claw, lick our butts clean, or eat out of the cat box.

At least, one HOPES.

I would so eat my placenta.

I mean, maybe not the entire placenta. They're fair sized.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We also don't rip out the vulnerable underbelly of our prey with fang and claw, lick our butts clean, or eat out of the cat box.

Indeed.
