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

"Wait, are you telling me you don't have that tingly sensation when someone whispers or speaks quietly in an accent? I thought everyone did."

For me, the sound of someone singing or chanting in a foreign language is far more likely to put me into a trance than just whispering. But that's not a thing, is it?

There's also a British woman named Tara Lee who does a pregnancy yoga video that I still listen to to fall asleep sometimes.

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

Now I understand the effect of the woman coming in to whisper "Big boys don't cry" in the middle of the 10cc song "I'm Not In Love."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

TAL did a segment last week on ASMR [link]. At the end of it, I turned to J and said, "Wait, are you telling me you don't have that tingly sensation when someone whispers or speaks quietly in an accent? I thought everyone did." This totally explains why I saw every episode of Bob Ross painting. So, how many Buffistas get that feeling? I am going to try using some of these youtube videos when going to sleep and see what that does.

I read about that a while ago! And I watched a video of a woman folding towels and talking about it, and...nothing. But I wanted to tear down a wall in the hallway so I could make a linen closet.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I can't remember a night that awful. Would Not Stop.

I had one of those recently. At my brother's and with a full house. I just couldn't stop the terrors or calm down. It was awful and it would not stop. The only small blessing is that I did have a door to my room and was freaking the fuck out and panicking in private. It was horrid. I got through the next morning through sheer will.

I quickly go from nose-wrinkling itchiness to JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR.

Okay, I watched the beginning of the video of the woman TOUCHING THE CAMERA, and I pretty much had this reaction.

Bob Ross is nice, though.

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

I know you all were on the edge of your seats, but here's what I did with the ripened avocados: I mashed one and mixed it with some pico de gallo from the store and we ate that quick guacamole with our chicken tacos for dinner!

I have more avocado that I think I will eat for breakfast tomorrow with more pico and eggs.Yay!!!!

I love avocados....I wish the squirrels who took them off our trees would either eat the whole thing or at least not leave semi-ripe ones with one bit out at the bottom of our stairs.

We also have kumquats on a tree. I live in a weird house. I think all of the fruit trees are making me sicker.

JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR.

The more I read this, the funnier it gets. What do you call that? Does it have a groovy acronym?
