Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh my god, Jesse, really? Yikes.

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

BREAKING: Small homemade bomb is preliminary cause of explosion at Boston Marathon, law enforcement officials tell...

Fox News reports Massachusetts General Hospital treating 10 people with amputated limbs

I've seen one report indicating that there might have been shrapnel (ball bearings) in the bomb, which would account for the loss of limb. Sounds purposefully designed as an anti-personnel bomb to maim and kill.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

MSNBC says Boston PD confirmed 2 dead.

That is a lot of blood. Horrible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's disproportionately freaking me out that someone who sees that animated GIF on the Post page will see someone they know collapsing, maybe injured.
