I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

If we don't leave to go get lunch soon, I'm going to kill my husband and eat him.

Long pig.

Long pig.

It's a little unsettling how our conversations seem to come back to this on a fairly regular basis.

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

So interesting, Bev. How much did/does that training affect the way you speak? Reading the last few posts makes me realize that I'm pretty lazy, but if you'd asked, I probably would have said I have good diction. I mean, I do just fine, but I talk pretty fast, so a lot runs together and consonants drop out

Not Bev, but I tend to ramp it up and down depending on the circumstance. It's very handy on the phone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm thinking about a burrito for dinner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wait, I should not have a burrito. I have plenty of finger foods to eat at home.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm under the weather and asked Tim to stop by the cheap Chinese place and bring me egg drop soup. Also maybe shrimp in lobster sauce.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've got a four-bulb chandelier in my living room. Two of the bulbs were not working. I just got up on a ladder and unscrewed one of the dead bulbs. This one was, in fact, dead -- the filament was clearly broken. But when I removed it from the fixture, the other "dead" bulb turned on. I thought maybe it was just slightly unscrewed, and when I removed the other one, it jiggled it into place, so I tried screwing it in tighter. The whole glass bulb part came away in my hand, leaving the metal base of the bulb still screwed in. What am I supposed to do now?
