The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Also, I have concluded that fish tacos = nummy.

I agree with the assessment, but don't understand how it took you until now to make it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Vague fish taco fear?

I think I suspected a trap.

There is something about the combination of the words "fish taco" that makes my stomach lurch. And it's not just that I don't like fish.

Yeaterday, I discovered another Newfoundlander I know doesn't like fish either. And she grew up there, and was a sailor! I feel so validated.

For the longest time I thought "fish taco" was a slang term for a vagina.

Ewww, tommy. Of course, that's all I am going to think of when I hear fish taco from now on.

On that note, I am slipping out of work...11 minutes early. I would say have a good weekend, but I'm sure I'll be around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone here belong to The NAPW? Is it worthwhile, or just another stab at getting my info?

I did not behave, and I'm having a pulled BBQ pork sandwich for lunch. Well, half of one.

Yikes. Why so dry, Donald? Why?

They stopped using the pink slime, maybe?

I went to see my counselor & he says the cloud was funnel shaped but not rotating.

Now I'm at Starbucks escaping the humidity.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm about to pass out. He's down 2 sets to 1, and it's 6-6 in the fourth set tiebreak.

Interesting New Yorker article on Chinese attempts to understand our health care politics:

"So, Let Me Explain How American Health Care Works" : The New Yorker

In the final minutes of his show, after the cartoon finished, Gao tried to unknot an even harder puzzle: How did American political discourse get to the point where it is today? On that one, no amount of American experience had prepared him for what he has encountered. “I once watched a debate between some important congressmen on TV,” he said. One of their arguments: “Why should we, people who work hard and pay our taxes, pay more taxes for those people who eat a lot and don’t exercise so that they can have health insurance?” He gave a bewildered look, and continued. The issue was deeper than health care, he explained. “In America, there is no unified idea that ‘democracy and freedom are great, and everyone should be equal.’ That’s not the case. When they talk about democracy, freedom, and equality, it is more like a kind of chess.”
