Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Pigs really will eat anything.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I clearly am reading the wrong political blogs!

Okay, I knew about the Italian porn star, but like Zen, I was okay with that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Fighting a bit of a cold. Feh.

I really think you are underestimating how much joy saying "David Cameron is a pigfucker" can bring, Zen. Have you tried it? Say it right now. It's like the sun coming out.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

This is the country that has elected a former porn star to the House of Deputies more than once.

I've met a few porn stars who were really smart, I don't see why that should disqualify one from holding office! Better a porn star than a greedy kazillionaire.

I wasn't implying disdain. Just highlighting the unconventionality of the Italian electorate. She was not on my side of the aisle, but she was an effective representative. The greedy kazillionaire (Berlusconi) is responsible for all kinds of terrible things as a result of his policies when he was PM.

Could you imagine a porn star running for the House here? The evangelicals and fundamentalists would expire from apoplectic shock.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I just went to a Parks and Rec place.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you were! I know you better than that.

I'll be running for office next year on the Unrepentant Heathen Slut ticket. UHS GOTV!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Zen, you might single-handedly entirely improve my views about campaign posters, on that ticket.

Am tasting the final wine of my first shipment from the Tasting Room. That only took a little over three months. I have already started shipment two, though, so if I can get through 4 bottles in the next seven or eight weeks I'll be ahead of the game.

TBH, I could not say with certainty that that hasn't happened. There are a metric tonne of House campaigns that I hear nothing about and some of the ones I do hear about I certainly find less savory.

BTW, the one task I had that had me thinking I'd best stay at the office when I was feeling bad (perked up after having some cheesecake, which makes no sense but I'll take it) I was unable to do because it depends on another department doing something which, of course, they have not done.
