A bad joke that helped me through a bad day. Maybe it will help some of my Buffistas too:
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face and the egg is frowning and looking put out. The egg mutters to no one in particular, "I guess we answered that question."
Good one, Gar.
Awww, Laura, I wish you were in San Francisco having a glass of wine with me.
Dog made out of dog fur.
Your boyfriend is a scamp.
Looks as if the worst has passed through the immediate area, thank heavens. Thanks for the good wishes, all.
Teppy, those pictures are priceless!
Hee! Both for the lovely bad joke, and the dog fur dog.
Yikes, it is far easier for me to deal with prospective hurricanes than tornadoes. At least we get a few days warning. I hope there were no injuries. There was a flash on the news about the airport.
Want to hear weird synchronicity? In college, my roommate and I had a wee cactus we named Toke, and a fern named Chloe. And then 15 years later, I fell in love with a man with a cat named Toke and a dog named Chloe. Weiiiiiiiiird stuff, man. I told my roommate, and she said that we conjured him up. Which is entirely possible.
I once conjured an Equadoran!
BitD when I was doing standup I had a joke along the lines of, "they say there's somebody for everybody, but with my luck he's 12 years old and living in Equador."
LO AND BEHOLD, several years later, I'm having a romance with a dude... you guessed it. Amazing.
Wishes of safety for everyone caught in or near the storms. They sound bad.
Travel~ma, askye!
The dog fur dog is brilliant.
I'm definitely in a fibro flare, but my Girl has come home and is making me hot drinks. Which helps immensely. I managed to stand up enough to sing in Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services - I'm not sure I sang all that well, but at least I was there!
Also - there is Doctor Who tonight. I'm like a six-year-old about it. I don't know when this happened, but it's fun.
I'm glad the worst of the weather missed you, Anne.
Toke's a pretty cat.
Has anyone else seen the doritos ad where a guy sucks his coworker's fingers to get the crumbs off? And then rips another coworkers doritos-smeared trousers off to sniff them? And, if so, does anyone else find the ad deeply skeevey?
The good news is that despite the damage, there are no reports of fatalities or even serious injuries. This had the potential to be really horrific, but there was enough warning for people to get to safety. There were lots and lots of people treated for cuts after the tornado blew in nearly every window at the airport and ripped the roof off one of the concourses.
The airport has been shut down and they think it may be days before it can re-open. That's the most serious thing that's happened, and it has the potential to foul a lot of things up for a lot of people.
I'm also waiting to hear if anything has happened to my workplace. Nine-story mostly glass building right where one of the tornadoes was reported to do a lot of damage.

Yes and yes.

I'm much the same way!
