Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People are stupid.
Yes.
I got some shiitake mushrooms tonight, and saw a recipe for a mushroom-potato gratin, but am feeling kind of lazy. If I just sautee the mushrooms and potatoes and melt some gruyere over, that will be delicious, right? Just checking.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So I've been wondering - why is it that some people think we should emulate these countries?
Ooo Toddson, that's a perfect response. I genuflect in your direction.

yum! I'd eat it! (but then, I like mushrooms - except, oddly, portobellows - and melting cheese over just about anything makes it edible if not delicious)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Huh - it never would occur to me to think of the Taj Mahal as a religious monument, except in an incidental kind of way because it's a mausoleum and end-of-life rituals tend to be religiously based. (I'm sure some if not most of the decorative text is scripture, but that's like saying a gravestone with a Bible verse on it is a church. Which is silly.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In it, the sender had compared the U.S.'s treatment of illegal aliens (saying that they come here, get welfare, free healthcare, free education, etc.) with that of other countries, pointing out that in these other countries - among them Iran, North Korea, Cuba - anyone entering the country illegally is jailed at best.
I got that e-mail from my mom! I was like WTF. I mean, she sends a couple stupid chain e-mails a week, but they're usually just dumb jokes or hoaxes I have to discredit with Snopes links.

Timelies all!
Only Halloween plans I have are handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. As for the rest of the weekend, we're planning on going to the rally on the Mall.(Yeah, us and 200,000 of our closest friends :) )
