"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Eh, Brazil and Portugal tied at 0-0 in a game that was played like a game where neither side needed a win.

Yes, that's why I recorded the Cote d'Ivoire game and picked a draw for the pool (yay--finally positive again). Still not convinced I should pick Spain for later today. That should be a good game.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Tonight, I am seeing two Christopher Durang one-acts

Which two? They are all fun, but some are enhanced by knowing a bit about the shows he is parodying- So if you are seeing Actor's Nightmare, I would make sure I knew a bit about the style of Shakespeare, Beckett, Noel Coward, and the play "A Man for All Seasons". For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls is enhanced by a basic familiarity with The Glass Menagerie, and A Stye in the Eye by knowing Sam Shepard's style.

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

Naked Gunman On I-80, Causes Chaos In Wyoming

A naked man armed with a gun caused chaos on a section of I-80 in Wyoming, ending with three people injured and the suspect under arrest, police said.

Armondo Cano, 26, of Moroni, Utah, was arrested Wednesday night on suspicion of attacking several motorists on a desolate stretch of highway between Rawlins and Green River, according to a media release from the Wyoming Highway Patrol, which referred to the incident as a "bizarre series of events."

Shots were fired, vehicles were intentionally rammed and one person was cut with shattered glass before authorities were able to subdue the agitated and mobile suspect.

Highway patrol dispatchers started getting calls at about 9 p.m. Wednesday about a white car that had been "swerving all over the highway and had run off the road" about 33 miles west of Rawlins, the highway patrol said.

The driver of the car, later identified as Cano, got out of the car and ran across the highway several times in front of passing vehicles. Dispatchers than started fielding reports that the man was "standing out in the roadway and was wearing no clothes."

Before troopers could arrive, a nude Cano got into a fight with a motorist who had stopped. He then jumped into his own car and started driving east on the highway.

About 17 miles away, Cano "intentionally" rammed a vehicle with a couple from Cheyenne in it. When both vehicles stopped, Cano, still naked, attempted to get into the couple's vehicle. Meanwhile, a woman driving by who saw the crash stopped to help. Cano forced his way into her vehicle and the woman fled to safety on foot as he climbed into the back seat.

"Cano found a 9mm semi-automatic handgun in the female's vehicle and began firing it from inside the vehicle out the closed windows," the highway patrol said. It's unclear what, or who, Cano was shooting at, police said.

Meanwhile, the couple from Cheyenne, still in their vehicle, tried to drive away from the chaotic scene, but Cano jumped back into his car and began chasing them. He caught up and rammed the couple's vehicle once again, police said.

Still armed with the gun, Cano then drove about three miles down the highway, stopped, got out of the car and lay down in the road.

Several passing truck drivers and motorists stopped and Cano, now armed with a pipe, began breaking out windows of vehicles. A truck driver suffered cuts at this point, police said.

A trooper caught up with the rolling mayhem, attempted to take Cano into custody and a struggle ensued. Truck drivers helped the trooper wrestle Cano to the ground.

A Sweetwater County Sheriff's deputy arrived a short time later and Cano was put into handcuffs.

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

Somehow I've managed to go from pro-Chipotle to anti. Not sure when that happened.

I'm thinking ear infection?

I had a touch of vertigo a couple months back and my doctor said that 95% of the vertigo she sees is due to some kind of ear infection.

Somehow I've managed to go from pro-Chipotle to anti.

I had to go on a Chipotle break not that long ago and get my burritos from elsewhere. But I've drifted back to Chipotle love again. Chipotle has been accepting of me seeing other burritos, understanding that we were on a break.

Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You and The Actor's Nightmare. I'm familiar with Shakespeare and Beckett. The only Durang I've seen is a production of Baby with the Bathwater in college. I think I liked it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

For SMIEIAFY you might want to bone-up on Catholic guilt, but that's about it.

Both of those are SO much fun. I envy thee.
