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

Yeah, I can't really imagine looking at a dick and thinking that was a good idea. OTOH, I totes enjoy having one.

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

Perhaps the Pythons said it best:

Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
It's swell to have a stiffy.
It's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger
To the world's biggest prick.
So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas.
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake,
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend,
Your Percy, or your cock.
You can wrap it up in ribbons.
You can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public,
Or they will stick you in the dock,
And you won't come back.

It's for women's rights, but really, that's just a bonus.

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

Oh, thank God, Burrell. It's at least comforting to know that it's not just my kid, that "dreamy little sociopath" is completely developmentally normal.

I may be over psychoanalyzing it, but I think it's just a literalization of the mirror stage. As in, the first ego-imago of the child is the parent, so their sense of themselves comes from seeing themselves through us. In this case actually seeing themselves reflected in the eyes of someone who loves them.

And--ahem--I must admit my tendency to psychoanalyze stops short of buying into penis envy. Cute origin myth on Freud's part, but hopelessly fixed in a particular cultural moment.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm guessing hubba hubba's not an appropriate response, is it?

Oh well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The yarn box is here, the yarn box is here! I know what I'll be doing most of today.

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

I very much envy the ability to go relatively discreetly when trapped in a traffic jam. Also, I've worked at several companies where a penis was required for promotion, even though in some cases the person in question only thought with his penis.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap, I should have had Onerous Task Day today, but I just couldn't. Maybe tomorrow?
