Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

We avoided pinching. I'd never seen one before. I figured it was a result of the slide being at such a shallow angle. But it IS like a UPS conveyor belt.

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

trampoline is at least fun to watch. rhythmic does nothing for me.

Yes! I'm sure it must be AMAZINGLY difficult to do -- I just don't care.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

In my family we give presents for un-birthdays, because there are more of them in the year. When inspiration strikes, it's "Hey, I got you something. Happy Un-Birthday!"

When we have lists, we let others know, but there is no obligation to stick to them. I tend to look through lists for things that I would like too. When inspiration fails I default to munchies from HarryAndDavid.com.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

There was a Harry & David outlet store in the outlet mall on the way to my parents' new place. This summer we had oodles of Moose Munch. Mmm.

In Men's 400 Hurdles oh, they could not be cuter about that sweep! I have never seen such a pile of happy in all my life. and I've got to say, that was some refreshing God thanking. They talk about being blessed to be there and to have the support of the country but they don't make it sound like the Almighty is picking sides in athletic contests.

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

Video of a vampire bat running. Yes. They RUN.

And, um, if someone could come beat the fuck out of the guy next door who is using a jackhammer to tear up his patio at 8:40 at night? That would be awesome.
