You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh ouch, ita! Baby yourself, please.

That shirt is awesome, as is RBG.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Concurring with awesome: RBG, Zombie Gay Beatnik Rabbi Ginsberg doing weddings.

Concurring with NOT awesome: ita's troublesome ligaments.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm coming kind of straight east from Summit on 78 if I were to go as the crow flies.

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

It's finally cooled down a bit here, so now it is Hammock time!

I'm totally reading this as "Stop. Hammock time."

And taking it as a command.

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

That's definitely how I heard it in my head, -t

"Stop. Hammock time."

I do not need this earworm.

I've had Weird Al Yankovich's "The White Stuff" randomly in my head for the past two days.

Actually, maybe some MC Hammer is a better alternative.

And now, inexplicably, "Ice Ice Baby" is in my head. I think I need to see a psychiatric physician for how easily I'm earwormed with songs that I haven't heard or heard referenced in any shape or form in decades. I have an intern that, ever since we had a conversation about The Great Gatsby and Andre 3000, "Hey Ya!" gets stuck in my head whenever I see her (one of the better earworms). Give me some sugar, I am your neighbor!

Can't swing this.

(there is actually a little sticker on my hammock stand telling me not to swing)

You just said it was better than the other one. I'm helping!

I just came up with the nerdiest fuck, chuck or marry:
