Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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.

Okay, that meeting got ugly. This does not bode well for future meetings.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Yay smitten!

And for making me aware of the egregious use of 'decimate' in that headline.

I can understand why the customers are upset. They still have 90 per cent of their chicken sandwiches left but aren't selling them.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Smittenness is excellent. Long may it reign.

New baby, also excellent. May love, joy, and learning reign in this life.

Work crud? Not so excellent. In the words of Father Mulcahey, "This too shall pass." And may it pass quickly and cleanly.

Right? That's no way to do business.

I think I'm going to need black tea AND green tea today. Oh my neglected special projects, maybe I will get back to you eventually.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Jane D.!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks for all the good wishes!

Congratulations, Kate!

I'm on Day 1 of Atkins Induction and I am seriously tempted to gnaw on my arm. I just realized that making scrambled eggs sous vide doesn't add any butter and I think I could have used those extra calories today.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Everything is terrible.

Poor Tom. I'd buy a chicken sandwich but there are none.

-t, you can totally gnaw on your arm because it's low carb.

abreast of the Shake Shack situation,

Also, I see what you did there.

Oh, you have got to be kidding me. I just saw a house IN MAINE flying the Confederate flag.
