Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Stay safe, Karl!

Bat cupcakes? How would you make those?? Bat cookies, I say!! Easier to stuff in a bag and last longer, anyway.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have a bat cookie cutter! I also have bat ring pops, rubber bats, bat fangs, bat rings, and bat stickers.

Now I just need to stop panicking.

I was going to decorate cupcakes with little bats drawn on the icing, but that seems complex. I might just do bat shortbread cookies with blackberry jam.

Then I have to find some kids to appear to be fascinated while I read. Plying them with sugar seems like good start.

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

Allyson, you could make sheets of fondant, use the cutter to cut out fondant bats, and put on the cupcakes.

Or, really easy, use a stencil to cut out a bat shape from some stiff art paper, and place on the cupcake, and dust with powdered sugar to make sugar bats.

Why oh why can't I be at Allyson's book release?

Who is that babe next to the boring equipment?

Allyson, candy clay made from candy melts and corn syrup [link] makes a pretty foolproof substitute for fondant that you can make into bat shapes. Wilton also has a lot of bat ideas: [link] When is the book release, Allyson?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

5AM on the West Coast, and I'm the first person in Natter?

Ah, 6AM flights. Stupid tiny airport.

Dana, if you're in the Tri Cities airport, at least parking is cheap (or was - when I used it, all day was $1.50).

But 6AM flights are definitely stupid.

Parking is not cheap.

Now people at the Delta counter are yelling at a gate agent because they didn't make their flight.
