Did they poll a furry convention???
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Oh yikes, Sue. Makes you want to yell, "Pipe DOWN out there!"
Seriously. I almost feel like pulling an Arthur Dent and going out and lying in front of their heavy machinery in my bathrobe. Of course there are like 20 of them (they must be getting paid double time) so they could probably pick me up no problem.

I kind of like the Poodle Boot, in addition to the ones you mention, Kat. Not actually on me, I think, but to look at.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
There is now a t-shirt of the Wondermark comic that is my life: comic; t-shirt.
Seriously, the look on the woman's face in panel 3? Now that I live with The Boy, at least once a week (generally more often) I have that exact look on my face. For realz.

I miss my straight guy friends from college.
Oh. The wedding this weekend made me realize how much I missed having straight guy friends. All the male friends I have now are almost all the result of them being the male partner of a female friend and who I only really see in the context of that couple. There's only one or two that I have any kind of friendship with away from their wife. Seeing some old male friends this weekend made me realize how much I missed that kind of male companionship.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Did they poll a furry convention???
Fair question.
ION, for the last several years I have been bargain shopping. I go into the grocery store and instead of just buying what I want, I look for what's on sale. This actually turns out to be more fun.
Example: I went into Safeway the other day and cruised the meat aisle (not really intent on buying anything in particular) and they had a ridiculous deal on New York Strip steak (bone in) - a $10 steak for $4. It was so good. I am at the point in my life that I can now cook a steak at home that's better than what I can get at a restaurant.
My other recent super delicious treat is courtesy of megan walker. After she pimped the Haagan Dazs Five Lemon flavor I became addicted. But then I found Trader Joe Meyer Lemon Cookie Thins. So I've been making ice cream sandwiches. Just three tiny ones a night. Soooooo goooood.
Mmmm, lemony.

I am totally willing to be the token straight guy friend for both of you.

DAMMIT! I still can't find HD Five Lemon flavor. I've become obsessed.
My dad and I used to go to this place in our hometown called The Flagpole for ice cream. They did a lemon custard ice cream that taunts my memory with its creamy, lemony goodness.

Oh, those cookie thins are delicious. That's a really good idea. I may have to brave the outdoors for long enough to go the store tomorrow. Er, two stores. Hm.

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
the someone who was pissy earlier, calmed down, had some tv time, did his wee bit of homework, was lucky enough to have super cool mom play pokemon figures with him for over half an hour, then getting ready for bed had a good cry about missing his NY friends. and he let me comfort him which is not really his norm. poor noodle.
See now, all he had to actually do was punch another dude in the shoulder and talk about a sport...
