OK, I'm not normally all into baseball, or into slashing our President, but...the slog pointed out this picture from the White House flickr stream, and I had to admit, it made me go "oooh. PRETTY. and...oooh."

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
In yet another "How am I related to these people?" conversation, I was telling my dad about Farm Sanctuary. He asked if the animals get along with each other, or if any of them ever decide that another one looks like lunch.
FARM animals. Cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, and so on. No carnivores among them.
(My sister definitely inherited this complete obliviousness to all things animal-related. She has several times looked at a cow and thought it was a horse.)

I AM, GODDAMMIT.
I mean, it beats muscle cars and heavy metal.
Hey! It worked ... okay, wait, no, it didn't work for some of us. VampiresGoths and gaming geeks are the way to go for dating prospects.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sindarin is better than a bass?
I can see that.
At least it'll be a more interesting variety of someone who is in no way good enough for our Ticky.
My mother is all worried about what I'm going to eat in Maine.
I've always found that the lobster was optional, not required. Maybe explain salads to her again? And pasta. And ... you know everything you actually already eat on a daily basis?

I don't know if this would be any less funny if I weren't *hearing* it so clearly but I am dying laughing right now.

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

But not muscle cars and Japanese pop songs.

And really, breakfast is cereal or whatever in the house, lunch most days will be sandwiches and salad and fruit that we bring to the beach in a cooler, and just about everywhere has some interesting-looking vegan stuff on the menu. The brew pub that my dad likes has a black bean chili. The diner that we all like has a grilled vegetable sandwich. The fancy Italian place has pizza that I can ask for without cheese, if their pasta has eggs. Another place where we usually go has several tofu dishes on the menu. At the Clam Shack, the only thing I can eat is the french fries, but that's a casual place with picnic tables, so I can make a sandwich to bring and have that with the fries.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Pigs are omnivores, they could definitely regard a chicken as snackable. Most of the other things too, if they thought they could get away with it.

Really? Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a pig eating another animal, at least not intentionally. Though, now that I think about it, I have seen footage of a boar eating another animal, and boars are related to pigs, so I guess it makes sense.
