Because books.

Utah gets green Jell-O? That's just sad.

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

I think this falls in the category of "not helping things."

Humphries also told the Guardian that Saturday’s shootings in Tuscon are “evolving into a conspiracy to destroy his organisation and silence criticism of the government.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, meara. That's so uncomfortable.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm still stuck on a teacher branding students with a Tesla coil, and only one person apparently having any problem with that. I would have gone completely ballistic. And then sued.

Hardly any members of Congress do. Why should she have? She certainly wasn't the only one to ever be threatened; why should she have taken it any more seriously than anyone else? If she had freaked out and hired personal security, imagine how that would have been received. Humphries is an assh0le.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Evanston police arrested three alleged burglars after tracking footprints in the snow leading from the burglarized house, officials said today.

Seriously, one night when I lived in a former apartment (the top 2 floors of a house), I watched a pizza delivery guy get mugged on my front lawn. The perps had called in a fake order to a non-existent address; the closest address was my house. He came up to my door to find out if I knew who ordered it. After I went back upstairs, I heard a lot of yelling and commotion, and looked out the window in time to see 2 dudes run around the side of my house into the backyard (and, presumably, over the fence).

I called the police and gave them as much info as I could. Turns out the police were able to track and catch the perps, because the robbery happened in winter, with a shitload of snow in the yard, so the police just followed the footsteps.

Crime makes you stupid.

She was asking for it.

But perhaps I'd find it rude partially because of my NGA status. Dunno.

Well, there is that. If I weren't NGA, I could at least get back at him with some loud sex of my own. :)

I'm just glad I wasn't trying to make any work phone calls!!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Aw. Thanks for all the kind words. Even though they're coming from a bunch of atheists!

Alas for those Christians who hold the attitude, "Insult them all, God will know his own."
