this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The same place I went with Teppy at the SF2F.

We had burritos at the F2F? Or have I been skimming? Is this a non-burrito place? Or a burrito place at which I had non-burrito food?

Help out a dimwit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

A recent Facebook update:

[Friend] went to Wikipedia to figure out what a phrase that was stuck in his brain meant and was surprised (and not a little embarrassed) to discover that Krav Maga wasn't a Klingon thing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Good god. I thought yesterday's Times editorial was appalling. This is just mind-boggling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You have a taste for awesomeness?

It does taste awesome! And will re-heat well.

I think this was supposed to be funny. It's really not so much.

Wow. There's not a thing about that piece that isn't pathetic and racist.

("But don't you GET it? It's SATIRE!" I can hear the protestation by the author now.)

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

"But don't you GET it? It's SATIRE!" I can hear the protestation by the author now.

Yeah. Where's your sense of humor?

I come home to find that in addition to the tumbling drifts of cathair, Loki has added shredded junk mail inserts. Dime sized shreds. And now he just knocked a bowl of food down the stairs.

Well, this weekend is a cleaning weekend. I don't know if I can wait that long!

I think I need to punch Joel Stein in the face.

Wow. There's not a thing about that piece that isn't pathetic and racist.

Of course. And, you know, I get satire. But holy crap.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A good (but very long) takedown of that Joel Stein piece. [link]

Joel Stein changed his facebook status to: "Didn’t meant to insult Indians with my column this week. Also stupidly assumed their emails would follow that Gandhi non-violence thing."

(Although that article did finally explain to me what's up with the roof on that Indian sweet shop -- I'd always thought that was a really weird-looking roof for that building, but hadn't realized it was a Pizza Hut roof with the logo taken off until I read this.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

we started to understand why India is so damn poor.

No. You don't understand a damn thing. Especially when your follow up is this.

Also stupidly assumed their emails would follow that Gandhi non-violence thing
