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

Timelies all!

Why we can't have nice things, part whatever: Mr. S came in from playing outside and decided he needed a bath. Gary let him play for a few minutes, during which he flooded the bathroom out to the hallway and got the carpet soaked. This ended up with part of the first floor ceiling bulging a bit. Sigh...

That's a miracle that they actually got him down OK. Kudos to the police negotiator.

Way back when I worked doing data entry for Beth Israel Hospital, I had a list of the amazing names, but it's been lost for a long time now. The only one that I remember offhand was Dr. Jesus Viola, which I'm sure sounds less funny if you're from a Hispanic country.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My immediate superior has the same name as a prominent member of the Trump administration. Fortunately, he doesn't share their politics.

As a teacher I see lots of names, including how many different ways there are to spell Caitlin, or is it Katelyn, or is it Kaitlyn, or is it...

When I want to get on Tim's nerves, I call him "Tim-OH-Thee." Which is better than "TIMMAY!" from South Park.

He knew I was a dick when he married me.

I got a Sprouts delivery coming tomorrow and will probably skip the farmer's market since I still have uncooked things from last week, but then again I could used more fruit and another batch of rhubarb. hmm. I guess I will see what time the delivery gets here and decide from there.
