close enough to the crosswalk that I could imagine dragging my broken body into it, so I wouldn't get in trouble. WTF, kid?

Just being practical. I admire that.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercial where the squares lick and then eat each other is creepy. Cannibalistic cereal.

How tall is Christian Kane?

My best guess from standing next to him is 5'7" (plus the 2 inch heels he was wearing at the time).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

When I was a kid, I really believed that if you got hit by a car in the crosswalk it was the driver's fault, but if you weren't in the crosswalk, it was your fault.

I recall this as well. I think it used to be law in some states - or a version of it. Then too, I was a jaywalking fool when I was a teenager.

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

I'm so sorry ita ! Can you work from home today?

I don't get how "DON'T RUN PEOPLE OVER" requires any level of clarification, really.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing that it takes stricter LAWS to stop people from running over pedestrians as opposed to, I dunno, more respect for the fact that you're DRIVING A CAR AND SHOULD PAY ATTENTION.

Although I'll note that I always think the most dangerous intersection I drive through on a regular basis is one by my campus with a 4-way cross light (meaning all intersections are stopped and then all pedestrians allowed to cross at once). I thought that would make it safer, but no!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

This is Hysterical. I only have jaywalked as an adult, as, like the woman whose son was hit, the bus stops are half a mile from the crosswalks, but pretty much directly across from my house.

I grew up in the country, and I am not sure if you can jaywalk in the country. There are pretty much no crosswalks.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why are there even more new reality shows whose entire premise is "Look at these wacky ethnic people"? Don't we have enough of that already, with all the "Jersey" shows that are clearly about Italians, without having to add "Russian Dolls" into the mix?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On reflection, I realize that really does sum me up: I want to break rules, but I really don't want to get in trouble.

YAYAYAY for nothing, Lisah. I think nothing should be celebrated more often.
