tommy, hope your boss's daughter is all right.
Turns out she was in a bike accident. They're checking her for a concussion --otherwise she's ok. She hit her head on the ground, destroying her helmet. So, you know, GO TEAM BIKE HELMET.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
(This is usually found in people with excellent genes who don't have chronic illness in their families.)
Yes, also young enough that any age-related conditions lurking in their background haven't shown up.

We should thank the anti-med people for their sacrifice in the issue of overpopulation and how brave it is of them to try and bring the life expectancy numbers back to "the good ol' days."

Oy, somehow this reminds me of how I feel like every time I go to the doctor I have to tell them new familial medical history events... "Oh, yeah, add that my mom has endometrial cancer. And a stroke. And dad has atrial fibrilation...hmm, I THINK that's it since last time..."

Our wings are not tired.

So true. I have seen some seriously messed up helmets, including my own.
eta: Gotta love the people that eat super healthy and then ride their bikes without helmet or drive without seatbelts. That spinach isn't going to protect the noggin.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I suppose the "Eat healthy and you'll never get sick" people also apply that to mental illnesses. Fuck 'em. (Yes, there have been shady things done by drug companies and doctors regarding prescription meds. Doesn't mean the meds don't work.)

I need a fun, dumb movie for tonight. Does Jeremy Renner's decorativeness make up for the failures of "Hansel and Gretel"?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Connie, I liked the movie. I didn't expect it to be more than the title (i.e., Hansel and Gretel hunt witches), and that's what the movie delivered. With a lot of profanity. As long as you expect fun and mindless, you may like it.
