OMG, I still feel like an old fogey, but this facebook shit is cracking me up. I connected my brother with the younger sister mentioned earlier, as she and J were best buds as wee kids. His comment seeing her picture "Holy shit! She's HOT!" (And she is. But he didn't believe it was her at first. Because she was a cute kid alright, but this is his childhood buddy.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Holy shit, that was close.

Nope, Phelps over Cacic by virtue of his magical arms.

'lympics. Say that out loud. It's funny.

Oh, I got to talk at 15 month old T. My brother put me on speaker and I talked. T was fascinated, made a beeline to the phone.... and hung up on me. Twice. Not sure whether to attribute it to the power of shiny tech or my nephew wanting to shut me up....

I look more rad than Lutheranism

No shit on the amazing wing span. Plus, and I just saw this on replay in a shot from underneath -- the swimmer who got silver, after his last stroke when he was close to the wall, he sort of glided in to the wall, but Phelps actually *kicked* and propelled himself in. Utterly fucking amazing. The man ain't human.

The women's 800-meter freestyle just blows me away every time, for the sheer amount of *time* it takes. They cut to commercials at least once (twice?), and even recapped the previous race a couple of times. I mean, at 8 minutes, what are you going to do?

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

Is it true that one can't buy absinthe in the US? I thought it would make a neat gift for someone, but then there's all this mystery about whether customs can seize it.
