It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Oh dear. [link]

Recently images of a lightsaber-wielding Batman fighting Darth Vader and then a shark tickled the point-and-giggle-gleefully glands of geeks all over the internets.

Now, in an unabashed attempt to Win the Internets, Liz Marek of Artisan Cake Company (formerly of Star Wars cupcakes fame) has combined Batman, Darth Vader, lightsabers, and sharks with a cake.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I read RuPaul instead of Rand Paul at the start of brenda's post.

Thanks for the mental image of RuPaul as a Paulian Libertarian. I seriously needed the laugh -- it's been one of those days.

Oh, and here's the Batman fighting Darth Vader painting that I hadn't seen before: [link]

Batman must have some Bat-anti-force-chocking device in his utility belt, huh?

The Rand Paul fun keeps coming.

Back to Google News Rand Paul: WH criticism of BP sounds 'un-American'

In an interview Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Paul says the president's response is part of the "blame game" that's played in the U.S. Paul said that leads to the thinking that tragic incidents are "always someone's fault" and added, sometimes accidents just happen.

So 11 people dead, incredible environmental damage, and a massive blow to the local economy; and we should blow it off as an accident when the device the company assures us is failsafe fails. Awesome.

I don't know much about Libertarians, and suspect I may have a distorted view of the party and its platform.

I think Libertarians are like Atheists. Good luck getting them to even agree on the definition of the word.

Another BatPost: Working BatPod on eBay

I read the BatPod from the movie was not an easy motorcycle to ride, with those wide, flat wheels.

I think Libertarians are like Atheists.

Er. No.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins, I have a graphics thing to do for you, don't I? I will definitely do that this morning.

No rush--whenever you have time is awesome.

Today I think I will wear my dragon tights and my short stompy boots with the denim skirt. If I were a little more relaxed I'd wear my Alice Cooper long-sleeved T, but no. Other people wear T-shirts, but I'd feel weird.

I am wearing a shirt I got during last weekend's foray into my closet, and my cute new shoes. [link]

Which I just realized are on sale for less than I paid for them. I have to go return another pair--I think I will see if I can get the sale price on them.

Er. No.

I only meant in the sense of having internal disagreement on the definition.

Because books.

Oooh, those are cute shoes, Perkins.

I keep looking for the perfect pair of wedge sandals in a fun color, but the only ones I found that I really like were over $100. Which, for sandals, seems way pricey to me.

I like shoes. I don't like to actually spend money on them, though.
