Half a worm.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I heard a thing on Planet Money, and a quick google confirmed it, that autopsy rates in the US have gone down in the past half-century, and are quite low. The AMA has been campaigning for more, for public health reasons. My understanding is that if there's not a compelling reason for an autopsy, it's not done (and sometimes, not ordering one is the physician covering his/her ass)
eta: Ah. More detailed reading indicates that, at least in the 90s, the decline was in hospital, rather than coroner, autopsies, which is in line with -t's experience.

Score. My sister's dislike of coconut has resulted in my receiving a bag of really freaking good dark chocolate bars filled with coconut. They are "seconds" so the whole bag was a buck fifty! Dude. I'm glad this place is up in PA. And, finally, yum. (Don't feel bad for her - she got raspberry, which she does like).

David, that is just horrible. I hope the creepy husband trips up and the police get him.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and then we went to a rum tasting and had mahi mahi banh mi for lunch. Autocorrect wanted that to be banjos.
Mmm, mahi mahi banjos.
He finally left the Assemblies of God when he was told to preach against Smurfs.
Blue devils.
Awesome. Westboro is going to picket Dan Wheldon's funeral. They kinda should hope they are wrong and there isn't a hell, because if there's any kind of karma at all? They're probably screwed. I find myself just not even caring about them. They are real-life trolls.

I kind of want to spray Raid on the Westboro people. They are so odious.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's a darn shame that good things that I really value come at the price of allowing terrible people to go around being publicly odious.
Mahi mahi banjos, though, seem like an unalloyed good thing.

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
Ugh, David. How awful.
Only at my company. Mass email from a VIP today:
If you have any autographed Roger Staubach footballs that you can spare, please send to me by Monday.
I want to be with Perkins and shrift.
And also the Raid thing.

Huh?
I could go for a mahi mahi banjo. In Hawaii. That's where they live, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think we need to go on a mahi mahi banjo-hunting expedition.
