Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I pasted the URL for the daily otter into a work email and almost didn't catch it before I hit send.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Hopefully the figures are further off at the higher end, but I just checked my parents' house on zillow and the estimate was within $100 of what the mortgage company assessed it at a couple of years ago.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I have two hours to make up working from home and then I'm free for the weekend! Pity I don't have plans.

Typo: sorry dream girl didn't like the present. Sounds fab!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just went to realtor.com and looked at recently solds and it is possible the zillow price is off by $20K.

When I had it appraised a few years ago the zillow price was much higher than the appraisal.

What is even happening?

Hey Buffistas, so I'm watching MSNBC, when in the crawl on the bottom of the screen, I see this:

CDC: Passenger on a Delta flight quarantined for hours does not have Monkeypox.

There's nowhere else but here to go with news like that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm flying Delta next month! Is there a chance of infection?

Only the weremonkey knows for sure, P-C!

I'm not sure I even knew Monkeypox was a thing. I certainly never knew it was an all-one-word thing.

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, I don't get how zillow does their estimates. Maybe it's just looking at everything that sold within a certain radius? Because there's a huge difference in what a house on my street will sell for vs one around the corner. And houses on my street don't go on the market very often so that may be a factor.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

MONKEYPOX!! A Pox on all your Monkeys!

I am at work today. People are at my house cutting down trees. I need to get through a lot today, and I think the only way I will come close is by forcing myself to believe that I will only get the yummy yummy thai food lunch if I have made a significant dent by lunch time. damn! that is 2 hours, I better get cracking.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Between that, and the words "propane" and "Yemen" making me giggle thanks to Too Much TV, I am sometimes so glad I didn't go into broadcast. Phil Griffin would totes not think "I mock you with my monkeypox," is funny. I would get fired All The Time and it wouldn't be for any brave stand, either.
