Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

P. Diddy is now just Diddy. When did that happen?

I love Graham Norton for how he can have the most random mixes of people on his show. And the look Diddy made when the British comedienne started talking about farting during oral sex...but then he went on to complain about long-term girlfriends that won't fart in front of him.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I read about the Lee's Summit one; there was another?

I linked to a story about one in Hickman Mills upthread.

Jebus! The Lee's Summit one rolled over! Everyone needs to stay off the roads in south KC and suburbs. Including my family.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Specifically Ft. Wayne.

I grew up about 40 miles from there--in Warsaw. But DH's parents still live just south of Ft. Wayne. We're going there next weekend. I'm hoping to catch Ft. Wayne's roller derby team take on The Lake City Roller Dolls (Warsaw's team).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Cool! I'll have to mention to them that I know someone from Warsaw and watch them freak out.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I figure that's going to spook the school districts, which it should.

Yep, I read that and I was all, Well, there WILL be no school tomorrow, or else parents would be freaking the fuck out.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

In annals of the world, she is small, I have been to a family reunion in Warsaw, as I've mentioned to Cash. The odds are that any Tucker there is a relative. My ancestors founded Mentone, Ind., which these days claims to be the home of the world's largest concrete egg.

I have cousins that still live in Mentone. Love that egg. They tried to get their water tower shaped like an egg.

They should get one shaped like a penis, like Ypsi.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Downton Abbey! I can't wait until the second season! Although I wish Thomas had really gotten what was coming to him. Also, fucking Mary! I swear to god. I just hope the sister can get back with the nice older gentleman. Oh, and that the other sister runs off with the chauffer! Good times.
