But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

No. It has to stay cold forever.

Truly we are witnessing the Ragnarok of your burrito.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Why is an article telling me we think of him as white?

Because they are wrong?

I've reheated burritos but they are never the same, exactly. Mostly I reheat them and eat the guts. The tortillas rarely survive in edible form.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, askye -- good thing your mom was there.

I also remember dirty phone calls when I was a kid, but nothing that elaborate or scary.

Thrive to spite them

It was freaky and while I don't know if he knew my name or not (or if it was the same man the police caught) the thing that stood out about the news article was the man was asking for these women and girls by name. And at the time the police weren't sure how he knew their names because he was calling from out of state.

OK, to avoid any potential problems, I ate the whole damn thing.

This will be funny for the hockey and baseball types among us: A facebook friend of mine just posted an anti-Canucks limerick that refers to the Yankees! Because we apparently cannot let anyone forget.

Did we suddenly get severely post-racial? Why is an article telling me we think of him as white?

I remember seeing something about that, and being like "Really? Who the hell thinks that??" I mean, they had a white guy play his grandfather, but...dude has green eyes. Clearly he's got something from someone. But...

Morena Baccarin I admit, I would've thought white, but wouldn't be shocked if you said something else. Wikipedia says she's Brazilian. OK.

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

She's not?

White? Not entirely, no.

Rashida Jones "we" do, though, I think.

Seriously? What's wrong with you?

dude has green eyes.

So does he. That's not it. He's just not white.

I don't think she's white, but she generally plays characters who date white guys, and her race is not commented upon. I think that means people think of her as white.

Because books.

Rashida Jones "we" do, though, I think.

I didn't know she wasn't until I heard she was Quincy Jones's daughter.
