I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I am all for replacing the war on terror with the war on nightmarish robot ponies.

Now I'm disturbed that they didn't detonate all of them.

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

oooh, somebody's parents are going to be pissed. Those things are expensive.

I dunno - if I was the parent I might be trying to hold back laughter while I lectured my child for leaving the pony there.

Plus it'd be the perfect excuse to deny future requests for stuff:

"No, you can't have a goldfish. Remember when we gave you the RealPony and it got blown up?" Followed by my stifling a snicker....

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

if I was the parent I might be trying to hold back laughter while I lectured my child for leaving the pony there.

Depends on how long they waited in line for one last Christmas...

Then I'd just make a video, starting with me waiting in line to buy RoboPony, then shots of the child unwrapping and playing with it, followed by footage of it blowing up. All the while, "Circle of Life" from The Lion King would be playing....

Okay, RoboPony is disturbing. What child would want THAT? That is the stuff of nightmares.

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

Post office was busy and understaffed, shocker. I hate it when I can't use the APC. So 2 out of 3 errands I wanted to do got done. Not bad, but guess what I am focused on?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

So New Orleans is going MENTAL about this evening's game (Saints football for those who are unaware)- the city's closed, schools are letting out early, offices are closing early (including both mine and Tom's), the Post Office is closing early... there's a parade in the French Quarter before the game too.

HAH! So now you know. I'm starting to get a bit twitchy, myself. We have plans with our local people. I have grandaddy's lighter on me (which by the way if you talk to Kara or Krissie, tell them that. Superstition makes them feel better too.) We're going to be with the same bartenders we were with when we won the Super Bowl. I'm wearing my fleur-de-lis and my Saints...underthings.
