And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oof, that's rough, Tep. Good luck.

I know it's, like, an actual crime and all, but "egg heist by Dave Matthews" is kinda cracking me up

Where are they going to unload 100,000 eggs that doesn't scream "Hey! These are the hot ones from PA!" I mean, you can't really pace it out over a year -- they're eggs. Anyway...

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

The stolen eggs had a retail value of roughly $40,000 (or $4.80 per dozen).

I want to know where on the East Coast you can get Pete & Gerry's organic eggs for $4.80/dozen!! Did the thief leave a contact number, I'll order some right now!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Guinness Book of World Records cake?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My sciatica has been bad since the flight back from Japan, so I went running this morning and did a lot of stretches. If I keep it up I hope it takes the pressure off the pinched nerve.

I gained weight over the last two years and I really need to take it back off again. Trying to use this alone time while Matilda is in Kyoto to re-establish better habits.

In a couple hours I'll drive Cousin Nicole to the train station in Emeryville so she can return to Sacramento. She kept the pigs alive and the house intact while I was gone. But I will be glad to have the house completely to myself.

Now if I can just get my phone fixed...Maybe it's time to just get a new one.

Timelies, all.

Welcome back, David. Hope Matilda has a great time out in the world.

For those not under the thumb of Apple, Google Play also has 5calls.

I haven't noticed egg shortages here, but HEB tries to get everything from local farms here in TX. Also from Mexico, so the tarriffs would definitely have hit them.

Our wings are not tired.

"NFL will remove 'End Racism' from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl. The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game." [link]

Because we wouldn't want to offend anyone. So disgusting. I had been looking forward to the game.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

NFL will remove 'End Racism' from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl.

I mean, Kansas City's end zones with "CHIEFS" painted huge and then "End Racism" much much smaller above it is pretty damn ironic anyway.

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

Also ironic.
