No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Thank you all. We should be lucky to have a baby half a cute as the Nillster.

More recent history (I KNOW): Geraldine Ferraro?

Yeah, I'd stay away from that one. She had a lot of fail the past couple of years.

Nilly, what an awesome human you made! He looks so curious and happy (no surprise).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, fuck. I just realised that the timesheet entries I'd been making hadn't been being saved. So my time off hasn't been recorded for the past couple months.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sure, but she had a Moment.

Interesting. IO9 has a post about asexuality. What keeps getting me is that asexuals have a lot more sex than I'd think.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

IO9 has a post about asexuality.

Huh. It keeps referring to Big Bang Theory:

Most often, say asexuals, the problem is that people don't realize that asexuality is — as the characters in Big Bang Theory put it — "a deal."

I totally don't remember the show addressing asexuality, but I did miss 1 or 2 episodes this season.

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

For a while in my 20s I called myself asexual just because I was tired of people asking me why I never dated or had sex with anyone or telling me I must be gay. Of course I was sexually attracted to people back then; I just wasn't sexually active.

I have a friend who's 45 and is still a virgin. I've always seen her as kind of asexual, but recently she told me she's never had sex because she's afraid of "losing control."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hey, all! Been a bit behind the past couple of weeks due to life and end-of-school stuff.

Yay, Jon and FAQWife!!! Congrats!!!

Kathy A., this is from a while back, but I find some really cute dresses for the $50-70 range at Dress Barn (unfortunate store name, but it does have cute stuff). In fact, I have on one of their dresses today, with a green shrug. I can't overstate my love of the shrug.

We are in our downhill run for school now. My show was last week (the kids totally rocked it, so proud of them). Grades are due today. Six Flags trip tomorrow. 8th grade graduation on Monday. Woot! Almost done! The past week has been crazy busy and in the middle of it all, our building flooding last week did not help.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'll have to head over to the Dress Barn in Palatine, then--thanks, ChiKat! (BTW, we really should get together some weekend soon.)

Did the 8th graders get down to Springfield, or is that not a regular thing anymore like it was when I was a kid? I remember when we went, we took a side trip to the Six Flags in St. Louis as well.
