I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And it's only been an hour since the last time I bitched. Bah. Again.

And if I'm not careful, some major company will have a catastrophic crash and keep me here till 8.

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

Clay [the governor] said that he has been urging U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to “take over the entire situation because we will not get justice for Michael Brown and his family and friends if the St. Louis County police and prosecutor have a say.”

Clay's actually the US House Rep. Jay Nixon (such an unfortunate name for a politician) is the governor. Sorry to get pedantic. Despite the name, Nixon is a good sort, and well-regarded enough to get elected twice as the Democratic governor of a red state.

Anyhow, the Highway Patrol have taken over from the Ferguson police. This is a very, very good thing. For one thing, their chief is from that general area of town, originally.

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

Well that was quick.

Our wings are not tired.

Anyhow, the Highway Patrol have taken over from the Ferguson police. This is a very, very good thing. For one thing, their chief is from that general area of town, originally.

It is the first hopeful sign I have seen. I pray that tonight is a calmer night on all sides. The Ferguson police have made this situation a complete nightmare.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

tommyrot, I'm so sorry. I'm glad you all got to spend time with your dad last weekend.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sorry, tommy.

Oh, gosh. I saw the sudden numbers in Natter and was hoping it was something amusing.

I hope the summer is done with us. Hugs, tommy.

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