Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Damn, Billy Dee Williams is 73? (Also, that's one hell of a scarf he's got there.)

And Harrison Ford is my dad's age. I feel vaguely gross for finding him hot.

Gah! Clicked on link. Tep, I think yours is the only reasonable explanation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So from what I understand, they took an existing bacteria cell and completely replaced its DNA with synthetic stuff the scientists created. So not exactly life from scratch... but still quite impressive.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Have you seen the other Olympic mascots? Always hokey.

Sydney had an echidna! Best Olympics ever!

Has the naked mole rat ever been the mascot of a sporting event?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Speaking of Harrison Ford: [link]

That's my DH!

ION, did NO ONE watch GA tonight? HSQ was through the roof.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Wenlock and Mandeville SUCK and terrify as mascots. I'm with Steph on that one (and I liked the Vancouver ones).

Dylan just ran through the sprinklers at the playground and then ran back to me crying "I'm wet I'm wet!" Am I a bad Mommy if my response was "well, no duh, you were in the sprinklers"?

HA! No. That's the world of natural consequences. Last week when Noah was a tool about watering the garden (throwing the watering can etc) I sprayed him with the hose (on shower as opposed to jet stream) and he cried and was pissed. I felt like I had firehosed him but still thought it was funny. Perhaps that's a bad mom.

I want a medal for getting the twins into bed before 8:10 by myself since K is at hockey. Granted it didn't stick and Noah is still up and talking, but getting them both down with all of the things that have to happen at 8 (Grace gets breathing treatment + meds + feed) is a feat.

“Not dead yet!”

I just got dissed by the London mascots on Twitter!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

how, Barb?

Also, scratch my self-congratulatory previous post. Just as I posted I heard Noah yelling, "Kafrin! Kafrin!" So I walked in and there he was, perched on the rails of Grace's crib with his knee JAMMED into the rail itself. Sigh. I fail.
