I had a whole section about civic pride.

Mayor ,'Chosen'


Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

For some reason, I am utterly charmed by the fact that the actor playing Dysart in this production of Equus, who sounds from Radcliffe's interviews like he's been very helpful and mentor-y, is Uncle Vernon.

awwwww... It's like some sort of fandom closure.

Punishingly Intricate

British actors. Is there no limit to their awesome?

Yes. When many of them attempt to do an American accent. (Although I realize that the terribleness goes both ways!)

Although the WORST fake American accent I heard recently was (Australian) Miranda Otto's in The Way We Live Now . Totally Gone with the Wind imitation. Tragic!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Mom's reaction to the narcoleptic kitty video:

If I'd been the kitty mommy, I'da put a pillow there..........

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

And they didn't even show the camel!
I blame the FCC. They block all the cool stuff.

I am in excruciating back pain this morning. It started yesterday. I think it's because I was hauling around the new laptop and a bunch of books, both in over-the-shoulder bags.
Yikes! Sean! Very not good. Might I suggest a backpack style, using BOTH shoulder straps.

All the Robin talk. Crack! Me! UP!!

OK, am at work, and the IT guy is *trying* to fix the wifi (AGAIN). Is it wrong to be full of glee that he can't log on to the system he administers? What was that German word Ave Q taught us?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

What was that German word Ave Q taught us?

Schadenfreude.

This will inevitably be x-posted.

ETA: Hah! See? What'd I tell you?

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

Just sing the song!

clearly I need to see Avenue Q. That's the musical that gave us, "The Internet is for Porn" as well, isn't it?

Happiness at the misfortune of others....that IS German!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I think online registration for wedding gifts is a great idea. However, I just went to the second set of registries in which the couple put on the list everything they might want to buy sometime. I just don't think of concrete retaining blocks or epoxy garage floor coating as wedding gifts. It's not that they have a list at Lowes; I think a chain saw or a fire extinguisher is a reasonable gift. It's that the registry reads like a shopping list. You start expecting them to include detergent and toilet paper.

Am I out of touch?
