OMG - the students have been letting off a giant noisemaker in here. Something like an air horn. I swear my ears are about ready to bleed. And now I'm all jumpy.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm avoiding posting scary political stuff, but this quote is more funny/surreal/bizarre than scary.
"Any ad which quotes what I said on Sunday is a falsehood," Gingrich said, amazingly.
Gingrich: Quoting me is lying about me
This is about the Paul Ryan Medicare thing....
eta: Also, Gingrich glitter bombed
A gay rights supporter showered the Republican presidential candidate with glitter confetti in Minnesota

What keyrings do you guys carry?
I have a Fullmetal Alchemist keychain (Alphonse Elric), with my condo keys, my work keys, the key to my parents' house, and membership cards to Binny's Beverage Depot and DSW.

I have two sets of keys: my non-car keys is a brass loopy thing I've had since college.
My set of car keys is actually two sets: a ring with house keys etc., and the car fob and ignition key, both sets hooked onto a tiny carabiner. When I go running in the woods, I stash the house keys and the carabiner in the car, and just carry the car key.
My car keys used to have a little BtVS seal on it, that someone gave me years ago, but one day it flew off when I was pulling them out of my bag, and that was it. It was a nice little fannish thing, very discreet.

My car key ring has a little Swiss army knife on it - very handy. My house keys are on a work-related ring (it's a replica of the flag on aircraft landing gear - says "remove before flight" on it with the company logo).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have had the same keychain for 11 years. It's got a B&W picture of Sean Connery as James Bond on a thick metal ring. I also have a little screwdriver on it--but not one as cool the ones Scola linked to! It fell out of my purse at my SiL's a few months ago and they didn't call us about it, because they thought it was a guy's.

Because books.
My dad has had the same brass keychain since I was a kid, and it says "CIA File Room." I still love it.

What keyrings do you guys carry?
A Jack Skellington (look surprised!) keyring that has a clip to hook it to a purse pocket. It used to be my Mom's.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think I've ever had a keyring of good enough construction to last more than a few years. My Australia one with a spinny centre lasted quite a while, but the spinny part fell out. I just kept it because it was a gift from a really sweet guy.

I used to have a great pewter sun keychain, but then I lost my keys. Now, it's just a cheap valet keychain.
