It was meant as a Hogfather reference.
What about something symbolic? Plant a tree and bury them in the roots?
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think you're allowed to sell body parts on eBay.
My parents just stopped giving me money for my teeth after the first one. Since the tooth fairy didn't exist, it was pretty simple for them. I'm not sure why they bothered starting, but there you go. They weren't the forwardest thinking of parents.
Was there H50 last night? TiVo didn't grab it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yes, there was a new H50.
Oooh, and I can watch Glee tonight too. Such freedom, being home on a Tuesday.

Best headline ever? And weirdest story. (But not an ita link.) [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know, apparently it's not actually bath salts like Calgon -- it's code for some nasty drug. I think is what I heard.
Also, I'm sure I've posted about it before, but I believed in the Tooth Fairy for the longest time. Not sure why. Not Santa, not the Easter Bunny, but the Tooth Fairy was totally real. Even though somehow my friends got more money than I did? It's a mystery.

I'm going to have to stick with my favorite in the Examiner: Tsunami Corpse Lagoon (with details about enormous salt water crocs having the buffet).

My two-cents on being happy about bin Laden: I am relieved, I'm grateful one of the bad ones is gone. I would have equally positive feelings if he'd been captured alive, with the addition of concern about escape/rescue/lynch mobs. I am happier today than I was when he was alive. There are people in the world who have forfeited their right to breath. I'm OK with that.

I lost my first tooth when a kid let go of a rebar sticking out of the kindergarten playground's sandpile (yeah, real attention to safety there) and it smacked me in the mouth. I was more upset about not being able to put the (swallowed) tooth under my pillow to get a quarter from the Tooth Fairy than by the fact that I had a split open lip the size of a frankfurter and a shirt covered with my own blood.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nothing beats "Headless body found in topless bar"
