Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OOH, I have bourbon!

It's not drinking alone if we're together on the 'net. Everyone knows that.

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

We're primates, what can you do?

Now I'm going to think of the nit comb as a primate grooming ritual.

Now I'm going to think of the nit comb as a primate grooming ritual.

Pretty much is.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So, I will have list in hand. EXCELLENT ADVICE!!!!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY Debetesse!

Except on the bourbon.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Now I'm going to think of the nit comb as a primate grooming ritual.

Pretty much is.

One interesting exception is the gelada. They're close relatives of baboons, and live in the Ethiopian highlands. They're grazers, the only grazers in the primate family (except possibly my brother at age four). Other grazers tend to look like cows or deer (or geese) and crop grass with their teeth (or bills). But geladas, being monkeys, collect it by scooching around on their butts and grabbing the grass with their hands.

That means, however, that their hands are preoccupied, and so they don't do as much grooming. Instead, they maintain social bonds by chattering to each other.

Their style of locomotion also means that their butts are otherwise occupied. While baboons get that swollen pink butt thing happening, geladas display their sexual readiness with a bare patch of skin on their chests.

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 am picturing the image of Steve Carell from 40-Year-Old Virgin that I recklessly Google imaged.

Why do I never remember safe search? So much junk I wasn't intending to see.
