Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

not your mom's socks.

Typo - I think I can forward your question to a marine engineer - send it to me? Profile addy should work.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That is an awesome vid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Brought to you tonight by someone who graduated in 1996 and I haven't seen since probably 1998? He looks so middle-aged in his profile pic! I remember when he was super cute!

A lot of the men look middle-aged now. Some of the women, too, of course, but a lot of the men. Because we are in our 40s! (Speaking from the class of 1995.)

I was surprised at how much older the men looked than the women, in pictures from my 20th high school reunion (now 5 years ago; I didn't go, but someone posted a lot of pics.) I suspect maybe it has something to do with how golf-style shirts make everyone look balding and paunchy? But the women looked good! (In all seriousness, I think some of this has to do with the fact that it's okay for a man to look his age, but women are supposed to 'take care of themselves.' So as a group women make a lot more effort.)

Also, hair -- women dye more, men bald more, etc.

Random comment for anyone who listens to the Fresh Air podcast: Is anything better than Terry Gross saying "Ali Shaheed Muhammad"? I love it every time, even though she loses the iambs by saying Ali wrong.

Shrift, what vegetables do you put in red beans and rice??

Onion, bell pepper, and celery. I'm not a monster, I just decided to use up all of the celery because it just sits in the crisper unless I have a specific need for it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I guess I've never had real red beans and rice because I had no idea that there was meat in it.
