"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I am not allowed to eat anything until after my surgery (which is scheduled for noon).

This is too late for Meara, but have managed to wrest the concession from doctors that hard candy is acceptable before surgery. I kept pointing out that hard candy doesn't add anything to your stomach, so it can't increase the danger of throwing up. I've also gotten them to concede that black coffee is a clear liquid.

"potentially legitimate" shipment of severed human heads

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I've had that problem...

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

I know! Once I spent hours dividing my severed heads into "legitimate" and "illegitimate" piles. Then I stepped out to get a burger and returned to discover my dog and been playing with them and I had to sort them all over again.

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

Kat, have you called the doctor? Does the rash look like it follows the sciatica nerve? That's what popped into my head as I read your symptoms.

Yikes. This is a disturbing read, but really fascinating: an oral history of the UT Tower shootings in 1966. [link]

Wow.

I saw a made-for-TV movie about this when I was a kid. It kinda' freaked me out.

Our wings are not tired.

"potentially legitimate" shipment of severed human heads

And we just re-watched "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag" the other day. Laughed so much at that one.

I heard that story this morning. Isn't that pretty much the series opener of Bones?

One funny thing: The place that the severed heads were addressed to (they didn't say what it was) is "under investigation", but this investigation has nothing to do with severed heads.

I supposed they could be under investigation for anything, from "receiving shipments of headless bodies" to "failure to pay payroll taxes."

That would be awesome. And they would cancel out, so investigation solved!
