You know what's not reassuring. The name of the Chevron rig that is in even deeper water than the Deepwater Horizon is "Blind Faith". No, really.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

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

This just in: leftover Afghan food is delicious. The only thing that could make this MORE delicious is if I had more of the awesome yogurt sauce, but alas, I do not.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
(The concert? NOT MY IDEA. It's...a thing, and I'm happy to do it, but the timing could not be worse, is all I'm saying.)
well, you could use the frame thing as a way to get out of it. I mean, it sounds like it's one of those things that you don't mind doing if there's nothing else going on, but now that it's making other things inconvenient, you should bail. Call it a birthday gift to yourself.
I would love to, but we're "taking" one of The Boy's aunts. She has Down's Syndrome, and has a trust that provides for her leisure/recreational/vacation activities. Since The Boy is the only one of her nephews who doesn't have kids, he has a lot more free time than his other 2 brothers. So when his aunt wants to go to the movies/concerts/etc., The Boy goes with her. And now that I'm part of the package deal with The Boy, I go as well.
She'd be really disappointed if I didn't go, and like I said, I'm happy to do it because she enjoys it so so SO much. (And because she's a sweetheart and I really love her.) The timing is just really bad this year.

I agree with msbelle. Reschedule your birthday. Or just extend it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm sorry your week is being so awful Teppy. Definitely extend your birthday.
In other Fricking Tino news, this morning I had an 8:10 doctor appointment at a place I'd never been, so I get to the general area the building should be about 8:00, and can't find the fucking place. At 8:08, I decide I am tired of driving in circles, so I try to call the office to see where they are, and it takes me 11 minutes to actually get someone on the phone in the office to ask them where they are, by which point they've canceled my appointment already, so now I have to go back at 11:00.

The New Yorker presents the BP "I Hate To Clean-Up" Cookbook:
Blackened Prawns
This is such a favorite with the guys on the rigs that the running joke is that our company was named after the dish!
Ingredients:
Prawns. If prawns are extinct, use chicken drumettes.

Teenager Attempts to Rob Gas Station with Caulk Gun
He was unable to persuade the gas station attendant to hand over the contents of the cash register:
Just after he walked out to a red pickup truck at a gas pump, another man — who police later identified as Jose Alejandro Romero, 17 — walked into the store with a caulk gun partially visible under a white t-shirt, the affidavit said.
The man pointed the caulk gun at Limuel and demanded money, the affidavit said.
Limuel told police he thought it was a joke when he saw the caulk gun, but the assailant continued to demand money, the affidavit said.
The man struck Limuel with the caulk gun after he could not open the cash drawer, the affidavit said, then Limuel struck back, hitting the man with a plastic trash can.
