Oh, I finally remembered a topic I keep meaning to bring up.
How many of you use the disposable tissue toilet-seat covers in public bathrooms? They just seem like a big waste of time, effort, and tissue to me.

I agree. If the seat is really disgusting, I'll pick another stall. If it's just a few droplets, I'll wipe it off with TP before I sit down.
I tend to hover, based on the cleanliness of the bathroom. At Nordstrom, I sit. At the rugby bar, I hover. Either way, no toilet seat cover. If it's dirty enough that I want a cover, I won't put my ass down.
If I take my brain out and steep it in a vat of coffee, can someone put it back in for me?
How many of you use the disposable tissue toilet-seat covers in public bathrooms?
Every single freaking time. It's not that much effort, really. If they're there (and they seem to be in LA) I use them.
Elmer Fudd must have really been looking for some sexytimes to believe that Bugs Bunny in drag was a human woman.
He was a three-foot-tall hydrochephalaic gun nut with a speech impediment, and this was before online dating services were invented.
As I was going to sleep last night, the end of some woman-and-child-in-peril movie was playing with a mother and daughter cowering in a coat closet while a knife wielding maniac slowly zeroed in on their hiding place. The he opened the door, and the mother jumped out, put his eyes out with her thumbs, and stabbed him multiple times with his own knife.
The moral of this story is that if your homicide victim selection process isn't set up to screen out Sean Young, you have only yourself to blame.
I was going to make pecans for mac's teachers and then remembered nut allergies, so I am making caramels and/or toffee instead.
Is pecan allergy as common as peanut allergy?
Seriously, Dana -- you don't want me to start going on about the stupidity of the furor over OMG911WTCNYC including Giulani popping up to talk about how it's unprecedented and a terrible security risk. Because I have to physically stop myself from going to NY and literally start punching him, and all the other talking heads.
Last night Jon Stewart had a brilliant side-by-side comparison of Guiliani in 2006 vs. 2009 on prosecuting terrorists in NY. The hypocrisy is so galling.
