Thanks, lisah!
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
-t, how about a community garden?
edited to add: In this case, when you tell someone they've gone to live on a farm, they really have!

I love bees. I wish you would come live near me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I was a kid, my father kept bees. For several years, they were on land way out in the country. I don't know what arrangement he had with the owner -- I was about 5 or 6 at the time. But I remember being able to run around the area (not too close to the hives!) while my father harvested the honeycomb.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm still bemused by the fact that you can just order bees and...they come in the mail. A box of bees! It's like a Monty Python sketch.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Or an evil plot.

Boo to the bee boohooer!
I am off for four whole days! Whee. Work has been really fraught for the last little while, so it will be a relief to be away. Of course, I am going to visit my crazy mom. Who only stopped calling me daily to see if I made it safely home from work when I told her I was coming home for the weekend. So, it won't be entirely relaxing, I fear.

Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?
But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?
Singing...
La dee dee, one two three,
Eric the half a bee.
A B C D E F G,
Eric the half a bee.
Is this wretched demi-bee,
Half-asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric the half a bee!
Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee,
Eric the half a bee.
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
Eric the half a bee.
I love this hive, employee-ee,
Bisected accidentally,
One summer afternoon by me,
I love him carnally.
He loves him carnally,
Semi-carnally.
The end.
Cyril Connelly?
No; semi-carnally!
Oh.
Cyril Connelly.

What is even happening?
Teppy just reminded me of the Tim Curry/That'll Give You Bees story. [link]
