There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"If they say there are no badgers in Basra, that's probably where they're hiding them."

No, no, the UK military denied releasing the man-eating badgers on the grounds that the man-eating badgers were in fact indigenous to the region, and needed no help from the UK military to invade Basra. (To be fair, they may also have quibbled about the man-eating part, but that's really not central to their defence.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ding ding ding! Theo wins -- my package was less than 1lb.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If I told Emmett that Basra was filled with man-eating badgers he would definitely text me back saying, "I know what I'm doing with my summer job money!"

not your mom's socks.

It's usually super balls hot for Artscape weekend so it will be weird to be there on a cool, rainy day.

I'm jealous that it isn't super, super hot. I used to staff the literary tent - ages ago - and I can't remember an Artscape without waves of hot rolling through the tent.

But at least you'd know that her Majesty's armed forces were in no way responsible for this turn of events.

Except for the part where they put the idea in his head. Seems like there should be some edict against giving teenagers Notions.

Seems to me that giving teenagers Notions is, like, a core competency for the military.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Theo, congrats on the contract extension!

Waiting for an update on the "Aldis says hi" situation.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

He emailed me and said, "Long story, I'll just call you."

But I'm in the theater about to see TDKR again, so it'll be at least three hours!
