Yes, but if you add Kahlua to a White Russian, it's still a White Russian, no?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

While I have a Mountain of Crazy in my mother, she was balanced by the Grand Canyon of Awesomeness that was my dad. You gotta take the bad with the good, is how I like to think about it.

I love the Grand Canyon of Awesomeness.

My dad was quirky, but I loved him and I miss him. Still, I have to admit I mommy's little girl.

msbelle, I'll be sending you my love and support all day. The liquid diet day is not fun. Prep day is worse than test day, but I think you already knew that. My advice is to drink lots and lots of Gatorade. The extra electrolytes make a big difference after a while, especially the next morning.

FYI TJ's sipping chocolate and cream in the proportions recommended on the package but cold and whipped instead of heated yields something very much like chocolate mousse. Nom.

Now tagless for your comfort.

This local letter to the editor was too good not to share. Can someone tell me what's wrong with it?

Roller derby has eaten my brain. We're working on events and possibly a bout for June. A bout. An actual competition where we will skate against other skaters. Meep.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Can someone tell me what's wrong with it?

(1) The editors chose to publish it.

(2) Too many frigging exclamation points. (!)

(3) Bonus points for slut-shaming, woo!

Man, I need more coffee. And to leave for work.

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

What's not wrong with that letter? I could start with "The Greek meaning for 'Fetish' is 'young!'" No matter how you parse this, it's not true. Fetish derives from the Latin for artificial. There is no Greek word "fetish." We should worship or have kinky thoughts about embryos? More precisely, "Huh?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And why is there an apostrophe after "doctors" in that one sentence?

I mean, aside from all the other stuff.

It just hit me that probably the writer meant that to say fetus?

Dingdingding! That's what I was looking for.

I couldn't stop laughing when I read that.

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

Maybe a misspelled 'fetus' caused the spell-checker to suggest 'fetish'?

Now I'm picturing anti-abortion ads that feature graphic pictures of aborted fetishes.
