it put me in an utterly HULK SMASH place
I'm so pissed I changed my tag.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I totally want one of these:
Scare neighbors with a gigantic T-Rex statue
Normally, I'd say that lawn ornaments are lame. But this T-Rex is no normal lawn ornament. Standing 11 feet high and stretching out 22 feet long, this amazing specimen is guaranteed to make all the neighborhood kids think you're the coolest guy in the world while simultaneously making all their parents forbid them from coming near your yard. And isn't that what lawn ornaments are all about?
This bad boy can be yours for a mere $7,500. What are you waiting for?!

Scare neighbors with a gigantic T-Rex statue
Want! Of course, I used to gaze with hopeless envy at the concrete Sinclair gas brontosaurus a guy in Nashville had in his front yard.
Speaking of hopeless envy, msbelle's "one of the closets in my bedroom" also had that effect on me. My house has one three-foot-wide closet with two-foot-wide door per bedroom.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
From the comments on that bake sale article. (The reason given for banning homemade baked goods is that they don't have standard portion sizes and verified calorie counts.) A commenter says:
How would you know if the home goods were made in a safe, sterile environment? I would never allow my child or any member of my family take food made in a strangers home.
Apparently it's a miracle that I survived my twelve years of public school bake sales.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure no one's home is a sterile environment. Except John Travolta when he was the boy in the bubble.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I am trying very hard not to lose my shit. I go through all the trouble of planning out meals, putting together a shopping list etc. I made pizza on Sunday instead of our Saturday night, make-together fun meal because Jon had to work. I made soup last night because we had pizza when I was supposed to make soup and Jon forgot to put out the Italian sausage to thaw. Guess who forgot again today, which means I make the pasta tomorrow instead of having a frozen dinner to celebrate the middle of the week and maybe go have a drink? So now I'll do the drink tonight with frozen dinner or leftover pizza, cook tomorrow and Thursday (Thursday was supposed to be his day to make whatever).
Please remind me these are just wrinkles.

Oh, and yeah agreed that's crazy, unless your kid had allergies, but then wouldn't you be super vigilant anyway?
