Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I went to the farmer's market and brought back food, including a honey pecan tart. Now I am in a food coma, which will hopefully pass before my 11AM meeting.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tacocracy doesn't open until 4

Now that's just downright un-American.

It ain't easy living in a tacocracy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm unaware of that urban legend.

It is a good one! And not a taco.(I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the details wrong, but....) My grandmother's friend's cat died, and she had to bring the body to vet for disposal. So she put it in the only bag she had that was the right size, which happened to be a Neiman Marcus shopping bag. She was getting out of the car, and put the bag down on the sidewalk for a second while she did something, and some jerk came and stole the bag! The thief thought he was ripping off an old lady of her expensive department store purchases, but actually got a dead cat in a bag.

The end.

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

I've heard the same story with an old lady carrying dog poop in a nice bag to disguise it.

I remember really thinking it was true when I first heard it. Were we ever so young?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I remember someone telling me the story of the woman who sprayed glitter hair spray on her nether regions, instead of FDS, before a gynecologist visit, and I believed it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You guys, after the donut thing (which led me to create the phrase 'donut furious') I feel like I should relate that this week I'm getting crazy kudos at work for reading an email. I read an office wide update about a matter I wasn't working on, recognized a name from our matter and sent a three- letter email (with three exclamation points) and now I'm being canonized. I fully expect a medal now. Your federal government at work!

Isn't government work grand?

Also, totally stealing donut furious.
