Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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

So I'm on a partner's website, trying to set stuff up. I get an error message that references a team of monkeys and ends in a smiley face. God, people, time and place. Seriously.

Art Crawl!!!

The Nation has an account of the situation in Egypt from a University of Wisconsin student who was evacuated from there.

Question: where they printed marshall - they really meant martial, didn't they?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

where they printed marshall - they really meant martial, didn't they?

They did. Sigh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Has everybody seen this wrestling clip? "He's using hypnosis! Surely that can't be legal in international wrestling rules!"

I'm afraid I will now have to yelp incredulously, "He's using hypnosis!" at opportune moments.

"How is this legal?!"

"Different, but effective."

"How are we not hypnotized?!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, did I skim past the hypnosis?

You know why? He's using hypnosis!

Clearly I was mesmerized.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I could watch that lovely hunk of man in the Ahnk loincloth dance all day.
