All I brought was brown rice for lunch. It's good rice and all, but that's not really a lunch.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

You need some protein. Feel free to grab an unwary squirrel and add him to your diet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The thing that gets me about Akin is that he is on the Science & Technology Committee. If he wins reelection, can he at least be ejected from that committee?

I just realised I insulted an IO9 writer. I do think it was entirely off topic, but it's the sort of stuff that my mother would totally want to hit me for (and up until I turned 13 or so, promptly did), because it was fakely innocuous.
But if a writer tries to make *any* justification for having abortion and infanticide be interchangeable in their article, I think suggesting that they've become interchangeable with some pro-lifers...is appropriate, but Mummy would not let me get away with it nonetheless.

Walking into the room knowing you are likely the oldest woman there would still take some loin girding.
