See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Awesome photo sets from the roller derby national tournament in Chicago.

That was actually her last derby bout. She's retiring.

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

Man dresses depressed Holocaust-survivor grandma as superhero, cheers her up

James sez, "Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika, a WWII survivor, feeling lonely and depressed. To cheer her up, he photographed her dressed up as a fictional superhero. To his surprise, she loved it. The photos are a bit comical, but there's an underlying sense of hope, strength and courage in them."

Love the one with her in bed with Superman! And the ones with a dog in a cape.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My nephew is six, and he wants a video camera for xmas. He takes ridiculously good care of his things, so I'm not worried about him being careless with it, I just know nothing of camcorders. Any ideas? I was looking at this one, which seems rugged enough. It's just got to be simple for him to use.

He's going to be a big time movie director, apparently. Good thing Auntie knows a couple of people in da biz.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Oh, geez, Steph, that sucks!

I've got a PTO day. I was going to go out shopping, almost changed my mind and was deciding to stay in when I found out I have to go to Walgreens and pick up some monthly supplies right away (I was worried I'd be having my period during my surgery--guess I don't have to worry about that anymore!).

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hee! Great shot of my friend Flo Shizzle's shiny gold ass!!!

That particular bout was full of great derby asses.

Sorry to hear she's retiring!

Anyone know anything about stretching out a pair of Uggs that got dried out and shrunken over the summer?

That's awesome, Allyson. Owen is obsessed with uploading his lego videos to Youtube. I may look into getting him one of those since our Flip stopped working.

Now tagless for your comfort.

lisah, in the final bout this player set a record for penalties and was ejected after 7 majors.

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

I have one of those Kodak camcorders (not that exact model, but close enough) and it's great. Very easy to use, and designed to take a certain amount of abuse.

The only reason to choose a Flip instead is the built-in USB connector vs an extra cable to carry around, but I almost always transfer the files via a card reader anyway, so if the cable is lost it's not a big deal.
