I am ALL SET with the NYC government trying to force me to be healthier. I would love restaurants not to use transfats, but in general, I feel like that should be driven by consumer demand, not the freaking government.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I hope NYC-istas aren't overly fond of fast food.
We can still have it, it just has to be fried in oil that occurs in nature.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm going to catalog my library--the first 200 books at least--on line! Fie on you, Jessica, for giving me another online toy! Fie!

I would never have pegged it as explicitly anti-Christianity.I got a bunch of religious books in my results, too. You have to bear in mind it's not analyzing content; it's just saying "if you have X book, you're unlikely to have Y book as well."
But I was amused that I put in The Good Soldier and was un-recommended Harry Potter. Which made up for my annoyance that they had the author listed as Homer.

Oh damn. The guys installing Kristen's kitchen tile have the refrigerator blocking the bathroom, and I gotta pee. Like, 'splode.
There's no place to really move it except back in the kitchen and I don't think that's possible. I think I just have to sit very still.
Pray for me.
And if I explode, avenge me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I put in Chesterton's The Napoleon of Notting Hill, which is in fact the last book I read (finished it during the 2 a.m. feeding last night), and Library Thing Un-Suggested essentially everything Dan Brown has ever written. I can only nod and say, "A wise un-recommendation indeed. For, really, just about anyone."
It also unrecommended The Nanny Diaries, which is a bit more puzzling.

I put in Mystic River, and got a ton of books by Tamora Pierce and Mercedes Lackey.
