Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I need new bras, but I didn't want to give them my email, so now I'll never know if I'm choosing the right size. Oh well.

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

Random link o' the day:

Cats with flowers on their heads, in baskets, resting in a tree (video) - Boing Boing

They don't seem to mind.

Perhaps I posted too soon, and this should be the random link o' the day:

Scarf-wearing pig chased by cops on Pittsburgh highway - Boing Boing

Today, the best news story of the entire day was surely this unlikely report of a "sharp-dressed pig running loose on a highway" outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Police chased the little porker, believed to be a juvenile, but "failed to catch it before it scurried off into the woods."

Police say the pig appeared to be a baby and confirmed it was wearing a scarf. Police dont know why that is or who may own the animal.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Apparently this is also featured in Moneyball?

Well, kind of, I guess? (Note: I did not read the article linked because I don't have the mental energy to deal with that bullshit. But I just finished reading Moneyball.) Basically, Billy Beane with the A's was one of the only few managers who looked beyond what a baseball player "should look like" and was roundly mocked for recruiting players that pitched totally bizzarely, or were too tall, or too fat, or basically, not appropriate for being a jeans model.

Nothing about wives and shit, though.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

PIG! BWAH, tommyrot!

Now I am compelled to watch Yankovich's "White & Nerdy" vid for the 1000th time...

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

The article just notes that the "wife" scheme is exactly the opposite of Moneyball, and is similar to something someone said in Moneyball.

Makes sense!

thank you bon bon. I didn't see the movie, so I got hung up on that!

Edwards verdict is "in." The jury seems hung on 5 out of 6 of the charges.

Our wings are not tired.

To me, this indicates a profound misunderstanding of either marriage or coaching, or both.

Yes, to me too. Huh. I'm going to survey the coaches in my life about this one.

Boston federal appeals court finds Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional

Well duh, I could have decided that for them and saved a bunch of time and money. Also, Woo!

I turned on the TV to catch some news and it is all Edwards Edwards Edwards. And I am without caring. Guess I'll have General Hospital on for background entertainment instead.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm going to survey the coaches in my life about this one.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. At any rate, I'll ask one coach about it, and I fully expect the answer to be "of course you're hot, dear!"
