Puppycat is chirping at the light and I just tried to explain to her that it's not a bug. Except it is a bug. There's a lady bug on the pull chain. I totally am going to save the lady bug.
And, you know, not have it for dinner.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't want to look at my tagline every day and think about EATING BEETLES!
Heh. This all comes from me quizzing my ex-coworker on all the bugs he ate across Cambodia and Laos.
"So, what was the most surprisingly tasting thing you had made of bugs?"
Answer: Sugar ants. You just snap off the thorax and pop it into your mouth like a spicy sweet red hot.
"And what was the most irredeemably horrible thing you ate?"
Answer: Pickled tarantula. Really quite gross.

Why did I read the whitefont? Whyyyyyy? Of COURSE that would be the most irredeemably horrible thing to eat. I feel pretty squicked just thinking about it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And see, the thing is I pride myself on being an adventurous eater. But I was not in the appropriate mode when I wilted a little spinach into my wheat egg noodles!

Why did I read the whitefont? Whyyyyyy?
Same reason I did?
I regret it too.
I've yet to move the ladybug. It's all cute.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, a relaxing dinner should not involve Fear Factor.
Sarameg, I used TurboTax and I think one of the deluxe versions will suit you fine.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I AM NOT EATING THE BEETLE!
Well, not that beetle.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Why did you read that whitefont? Seriously, it was all set up to be something you'd hate.
On the plus side, they were totally dead tarantulas, bobbing in a grey jar of pickle juice.
His well-informed verdict? Nast.
ION, has everybody seen the science geek valentines?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hee. I would totally tag that, except I don't want to look at my tagline every day and think about EATING BEETLES!
We shall call it "Beatle". Um. Wait.
