"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't remember having much in the way of organized household chores aside from picking up after myself and vacuuming the basement, but I helped with my dad a lot and did whatever he told me to. I was very school focused so I remember having hours of homework every night and I think my folks prioritized me concentrating on that. And I managed to pick up how to do laundry and cooking for myself despite Mom actually handling those things—it was kind of a surprise to her that I immediately leapt into self sufficiency upon moving out.

As a pre-teen mowing was the bane of my existence. I hated the heat and getting covered with sticky grass bits,and we had a very uneven weirdly shaped yard with a lot of trees. But when I was 13 our electric lawnmower shorted out, and rather than buying a new one my folks hired the hot teenage wrestler from down the street to cut our grass. Best summer ever!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am having high-class problems: there's a lunchtime thing with Cirque du Soleil, but I have meetings before and after, so if I go, when will I eat lunch???

Our wings are not tired.

Down a protein bar!

I never had to mow or rake because of allergies, but I shoveled my fair share of snow, and then some.

hwæt

The obvious answer is to run away and join Cirque du Soleil, and don't go to the meeting after, or any meeting ever again.

I wonder what kind of opportunities they have for people who are pretty good at standing still and awesome at lying down?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So I'm watching John Oliver, and I never knew why Colbert had all those weird products on the Report! It's Alex Jones! Et al., I assume.

I LITERALLY JUST PUT THIS TOGETHER.

I was disappointed that he didn't get to the part where Alex Jones and Gwynneth Paltrow basically have the same online store.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ugh. That report, while valuable, told me more about Alex Jones than I ever wanted to know.

Funny, none of the culprits seem to be interested in engaging directly with me this morning.

Right? I totally never got that.

Hahaha!

Maybe it's sarameg who should run off with the circus??

Cirque du Buffista! We can all run away and create our own circus.
