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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, the fatal flaw of your plan is that you live in Boston, and you can't get good bagels anymore.

Wah-waaaaah. That's literally why I said "or similar."

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

Charlie Sheen Invades Beloved Comics

Charlie Sheen's insanity has been difficult to ignore this week. His crazy quotables have defaced pics of baby bunnies, cats and sloths, superheroes and New Yorker cartoons -- and now the foul-mouthed bastard has destroyed the innocence of the Sunday comics too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Ultimate Pirate Bedroom. With a fifty foot slide!

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Gronk. I am sick, and I have things to do. This is not a good combination.

Now tagless for your comfort.

msbelle, at least Liv was asleep when they did her scope. As I said on FB, I hope they find you perfectly pink, inside and out.

Went to the doctor for a routine appointment. I'm tired and sneezy, and somehow convinced that my bloodwork is going to be bad. But at least I have a new prescription for allergy meds?

Punishingly Intricate

As I said on FB, I hope they find you perfectly pink, inside and out.

Indeed!

I think they usually give you some juice and crackers right after the procedure.

And I just made a dentist appointment.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I forget who talked about it on my friends list -- or here -- but you can make cheap-o popcorn in the microwave by getting a paper sandwich bag, dumping in a tablespoon of butter/margerine, three tablespoons of loose popcorn kernels, half a teaspoon of salt or other flavoring, and letting it pop for 2-3 minutes (your microwave may vary). Make sure you have a plate under the bag, and fold the bag closed about halfway to the top!

From the Huff Post:

Northwestern University Professor Under Fire After Class Sex Toy Demonstration

Kind of a misleading headline - they say the demonstration was "controversial" without saying who found it controversial, etc. Maybe the "controversy" consisted of reporters asking about it.

Otherwise, this is better than the Tribune thing I linked to yesterday, as this has the word "fucksaw" in it.

"Sticks and stones may break your bones, but watching naked people on stage doing pleasurable things will never hurt you," Bailey told his class in response to the controversy.

Heh.

From The Onion AV Club Chicago:

Northwestern prof in hot water after guest uses “sex saw” during in-class demo

Once again, no mention what the "hot water" was.

The Daily Northwestern seems to be the first to write about this:

Class sex toy demonstration causes controversy

Once again, no mention of who found this controversial.

"Personally, I probably wouldn't want to witness that, but a student can take or not take the course," said Christine Woo, a member of NU's Christians on Campus chapter. "It's their choice."

See? Not even Christians on Campus cares.
