Ugh, ita.
Yay for Sparky's DH!
I'm hungry, and I don't have nearly as many crackers at work as I thought I did. Boo.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Would Matilda like a taxidermied squirrel? I hear the Blogess could help her out.
Heh - we've got a taxidermied mouse in the house, much like the one on the Bloggess' book cover. It's actually a Hamlet mouse with a little ruff around its neck and holding a little mousey Yorick skull.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
She now has a taxidermied robot mouse.
Since she's using it for her blog, she's decided it's tax deductible.
This is why IRS staff burn out early, isn't it?

Punishingly Intricate
Woohoo Geneva job!
I totally have the ASMR thing too! Until the TAL piece that I heard a couple of weeks ago I thought everyone had it. I don't get it from all whispering, lip smacking, tongue clicking and some other sounds set my teeth on edge.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
For me, it's that nervous finger-tapping...really makes me want to break the tapper's hand(I had several instructors that did it too.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woohoo, Sparky, that's great news!
My sister raised a baby squirrel that was, hm, must have been injured or something to have come into her possession, I forget that part. Used to like to perch on her head. It eventually went back into the "wild" of the Portland tree canopy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
New US$100 bill in circulation 10/8 - Boing Boing
The new US$100 bill will go into circulation on October 8, 2013. New security features include a "3-D Security Ribbon" woven into the paper. The image changes from bells to 100s with the viewing angle, and "color-shifting" bell graphic that changes from copper to green, "an effect which makes the bell seem to appear and disappear within the (copper-colored) inkwell."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Please tell me Batman is on the new $100 bill.
(Seriously, about 2 hours ago at work we were discussing currency, and how you don't have to be a president to be on the bill, thank you B. Franklin. So I said Batman should be on the $20, and Chatty said that would be too confusing, since Jackson is crazier than Batman.)

I would totally be down for a Bruce Wayne: President crossover event.
