The probability that the Red Sox will make the playoffs.
I'm sorry, but I'm filled with schadenfreude. It warms my heart to see that a team can blow it in September worse than the Mets can.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Old School Sox! Since I don't care about baseball, I'm mostly glad the Fenway traffic is done for the season. And am @@ over the text I just got from my stupid ex in Baltimore.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
dcp, I don't know much French at all (except random exclamations and cuss words - don't know how I was exposed to that), I would have had to google it.

Because books.
dcp, I can only translate very basic, literal French, and I'm getting ... "[something], that's the others"? megan will come and shake her head, I'm sure.
I haven't watched baseball in weeks. Stupid Mets. They make me weary.
Stephen is at his first day of work! Whoot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hell is other people, come on you guys!
(Which is to say, dcp, I feel your pain.)

I just looked up "l'enfer" and still only got to "to hell with other people."
It's early!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Mickey Mouse milk ad is a relic of olde worlde naiveté (or it's just rude)
This undated old Grad Rapids Milk ad features a bit of dialogue from Minnie and Mickey Mouse that either contains a rude double-entendre or is a relic of an era of unbelievable naiveté. Either way: snigger snigger snigger.
They must have known it was a double-entendre, right?

I get it, but I was a theatre major, and took 7 years of French.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I got it, but I'm familiar with the source.
And, the comment about The Road reminded me of a P.G. Wodehouse line, "she looked like something dreamed up by Mr. Ibsen in one of his less frivolous moments".
