And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Dope (similarly old-school, Southern)

Or Coke (to refer to any soda/pop generically).

Awesome, Kathy! I do hope they enjoy it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Soft drinks, as opposed to hard drinks/hard liquor, right?

I always thought the term cold drink came from them being bought chilled, from a machine, rather than with ice. My grandpa would always say cold drink to mean a bottled soda.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In re hair color - my hair's a fairly bright auburn at this point (due for a color and cut on Saturday). I've had a couple of people ask me if the colorist bleached it before applying color ... and it later occurred to me that no, he doesn't ... because my hair's mostly white at this point.

I DID get the dramatic white streak in my dark hair; someone once said that if she didn't know me better, she'd think I'd done it artificially. Then it went mostly white and I've become addicted to the red.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Soft drinks, as opposed to hard drinks/hard liquor, right?

OH! Right. Of course.

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

I thought it could be iced tea, though

Maybe it did, I was picking up the usage from the outside, really. It definitely meant non-alcoholic, you are right about that. I feel like "Can I get you some tea? Maybe a cold drink?" was a common offering, but that was a long time ago.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I just picked up my new glasses and I LOVE them. I didn't need new one, strictly speaking, as my prescription hasn't changed, but I figured a spare pair couldn't hurt, seeing as I am rather clumsy and can just imagine myself accidentally throwing them overboard while at work. They are incredibly different from what I had before, but I love them!

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

Dog That Has the Longest Ears in the World

Guinness World Records has a new record holder, an 8-year old Black and Tan Coonhound by the name of Harbor. His world record: Longest Ears on a Living Dog. His human companion, yoga instructor Jennifer Wert of Boulder, Colorado, says “…most days I forget how oddly long his ears are. He’s a phenomenon in the world and he creates smiles wherever we go”.

Harbor’s right ear is 13.5 inches and his left one is 12.25 inches. He will be included in the new Guinness World Records 2012 book due out September 15.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Or Coke (to refer to any soda/pop generically).

Yeah, Coke is the normal version (well, we are talking about the South here...), but I was going for the rarer regionalisms that might included under "other".
