We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I finally turned on the game and Peter Coyote is gone, as is the UK announcer. I fear this means I will be disappointed by these announcers.

On the upside, I will laugh and laugh if this game is a draw.

Dana--I'm reminded of a late night in a Chicago suburb supermarket when I was with a friend and we asked where the hummus was, and the guy said "Hummus? Um...I don't think we sell those"

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

The next two people I asked were able to point me to a tiny jar of "Wild Grain" hummus.

This is why I have baby carrots but no hummus.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hey, even my crappy local grocery store has hummus!

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

Mother conjures an image of a female person.

To me, mother conjures an image of a female person with offspring (biological or no). Without ever having had offspring, not a mother. So being their mother is not a leap at all. Said female person is not *my* mother. I am offspring of just the one female person. And I think that's a perfectly meaningful distinction.

My womanhood has no relationship to anyone else. It's not dependent on anything. But I can only be a mother if there is offspring involved. And I will only be that offspring's mother.

Maybe in addition to nuclear weapons, North Korea has also been developping soccer players?
