Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I do it too. I'm not sure why.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I also do it- Deans, then directors, the professors, then professional staff then support staff then students.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If I'm emailing someone *really* high up, I'll put them either first (so they don't think they were an afterthought) or else in the CC field (so they'll know it's just an FYI and not something they need to respond to). But I've never thought of it in any kind of formal way.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I most of the time do it, then when mad at my boss I put him last.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, your gut is pretty smart. But seriously, you are totally welcome here, although of course not obligated in any way. I don't mean that in a "sure, come out anytime" way, but really really. We'll be as intrusive or non-intrusive as you want, and like I say, you can come out when we're not here too. All we're going to be doing is tromping around the outdoors a bunch and probably watching hockey now that there's going to be some. I can even set you up with my trainer!

Yeah, I definitely don't hierarch anyone in my lists. If I'm paying any attention at all, it'll be in alphabetical order because that's how it is in the contact list, but that's it.

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

The Dolly Sisters, Studio Manasse

The Dolly Sisters were popular vaudeville performers (I had to google them).

It's a cool picture of some cool vaudevillians with cool hair. Probably Hec would like it.

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

"I trust my body more than the CDC, FDA, or drug companies."

Natural selection for you.

NOAA says it is 40 degrees and breezy. My window tells me it is SNOWING and windy as all git out. Not going to poke my head out the door, but I'm willing to bet it is cold as crap too.

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

Cool bangs for sure.

Absinthe Cookie

What may look like a typical mint cookie, is really a diabolical and possibly hallucinogenic absinthe cookie. Who wants one? Absinth has steadily been gaining traction as a popular drink since the beginning of the 1990s. It was originally banned from the US and many parts of Europe in 1915, somewhat rashly in retrospect. The claims of any real psychoactive properties have largely been exaggerated, and the drink is no more dangerous than any ordinary spirit.

The fine people over at A Fine Kettle of Ish have the perfect recipe to fill you craving for the mysterious liquid covered cookie. You don't even need that much to make it, just some standard cookie making ingredients, some high quality absinthe, and food coloring. Apparently it also goes very well with strong coffee.

Our wings are not tired.

Fingers wrinkle to grip wet stuff better, toes wrinkle to better run in the rain. [link]

As a swimmer I have long wondered about the wrinkly fingers. This just makes so much sense!
