I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Giulani popping up to talk about how it's unprecedented and a terrible security risk.

Can you really blame him? He has to pop up because it involves 9/11 and talking about 9/11 is what he does. He's like the high school quarterback who became a loser after graduation, he talks about the glory days back when people were impressed by his leadership on the field. Yeah, it's more awkward because of all the horror and death, but the principle is the same.

Also it has to be wrong and dangerous because it's the Obama administration. If it was the Bush administration then it would demonstrating the greatness of America. You see, conservatives are real American patriots, and liberals are wine-drinking intellectual whiners who hate America. Therefore, if conservatives are beind the it then it's pro-American, and if liberals are behind it it's anti-American. The actual 'it' is totally irrelevant.

Or, you know, he's just an opportunist.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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 am Jessica. (Heh. Not really.) In general, I figure (a) how nasty can the back of people's thighs be, and (b) am I going to touch the backs of my thighs? Probably not.

You know what? I am not getting in a semantics pissing contest. 3 things occurred on two different dates. I do not care which occurred on what dates. Point is, it happened, it doesn't matter any more. Let.it.go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

am I going to touch the backs of my thighs?

You are the backs of your thighs.

I dunno. I just figure there's potential ick but I really want to sit down. So I shield.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A funny variation on those Christian fish thingies that people put on their cars: [link]

Yeah, I don't worry so much about ick in general. I also open doors with my bare hands!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

With swine flu, I've gotten paranoid about banisters, but I figure falling down the stairs will probably hurt me more than swine flu.

Oh, I've seen a new anti-Obama (I guess) sticker. It's a christian fish eating an Obama 'O' symbol.

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

Is pecan allergy as common as peanut allergy?

Tree nut allergies are pretty common in kids, yeah.
