Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Hey Californians! Did you know that "if it's yellow, let it mellow" can damage your toilet? I did not.* And now I'm going to be $900 poorer. OTOH I think I will be getting a low-flow toilet.

* it's something to do with mineral buildup in the toilet that interferes with a valve at the bottom of the toilet.

I need to mention this to Tim, who is engineer of the Let It Mellow train.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Can someone translate the cover of tomorrow's Der Spiegel for me?

I mean, »Der Doppelregent« is a pretty clever pun, but what does the tagline say?

Er, I'm pretty sure that's an EXTREMELY dirty innuendo, because the verb "stecken" literally means "to plug". So.

(I had to double-check the verb, because I was going on my college German. But I'm pretty sure it implies what it sounds like it implies.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh! I was literally just thinking I could let it mellow now that I don't have a pet who likes to drink out of the toilet. (I realize I could have closed the lid all along.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I wish we had our old toilet back. The one we have now is practically identical, but it's missing a great feature. It's low-flow, a bit taller for when we find it difficulter to get down and up from the seat. And the previous one had two flushes, one regular for um, solids, and a half-flush for liquids only.

The two-flush really seems like the best idea to me. But I am not a toiletician.
