If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

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."

None of my scheduled payments are showing up as transactions in my account, and yet the payees think they've been paid. Including my mortgage. Which is making me a little paranoid.

Some fucker is going around paying your bills for you!

Hah, I wish. No, I suspect it is just holiday-lag issues, but I dislike it when my bank account is posting the wrong information!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That happens to me all the time, sarameg, and so far everything has actually been paid and all the various records eventually agree. I guess the information of where the money is propagates differently through the systems.

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

I'm so sorry, Matt.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh Matt, that's so sad. I'm sorry.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Did they get poofy?

They did. They're a lot more tender than store bought, too. Possibly because they were only 15 minutes old when I tried one.

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

I have faxed off my FSA receipts for 2012, gotten my medical spend for taxes (I think I might file early this year...), played both pending Scrabble moves, and I think it's time to hit the pharmacy to fill my two remaining prescriptions and then go home and meditate on where I'm working from for the last two days of the week.

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

Matt, condolences to your family.

The weirdest thing I've heard in my alley, in comic form: [link] (exact wording was edited to make it family-friendly.)

I bet that's from someone who watched Jack Hanna on Piers Morgan's show a couple nights ago. He brought out a curled-up armadillo and got Piers to touch it, and then informed him that they're the only animals that carry leprosy. snicker

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm going into the office tomorrow. Figure I should start the year right and show my face. I also have a package of venison waiting for me there. Yum!!

I don't know if anyone here watches Mobbed, I just bumped into it (it is a planned mob honoring or surprising someone). I don't know if all episodes are like this, but the tears are streaming down my face.

No, this was heard back in September. School, zoo, who knows, but a very unlikely topic in my alley (unless it is coming out of my mouth. I know too many weird facts about armadillos.)
