Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Someone want to explain to him George Lucas' egocentric outlook on the universe and how he cannot stop messing with a good thing?

I saw this on Twitter but the only answers I could give, I don't think I wanted Owen to read. There'd have been swears involved.

Always Anti-fascist!

My favorite weasel expression is "Some people say," As in "Some people say the great love of Sarah Palin's life is the goat she blew in high school." Then, if I get called on it, what? I'm not people? Voila...credibility, ur doin it wrong.

I'm rather a fan of "Nobody's saying". "Nobody is saying that Obama is the secret love child of Hitler and Stalin. I'm just saying that it's interesting that some people say he's both a Nazi and a Communist."

I feel like I'm in the nerd version of an American Gladiators competition, with engineers, hot potatoes and who can hang tough the longest on trouble tickets.

Ha, I am descended from John and Priscilla Alden, too.

Boy was the European population of Massachusetts small in the 17th century.

I don't have Mayflower people, but I've got people from the next couple of boats. Yay, bigoted Gov. Endicott! And his Quaker nemesises. Nemesi? What is the plural of nemesis, or is the point that you shouldn't have more than one?

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

I just found out that there was a Hoarders episode filming RIGHT HERE in LA and I MISSED IT.

My love for Hoarders is unholy. I've always wanted to go and gawk and get my picture taken with the 1-800-GOT-JUNK people.

I think that one of my early Keay ancestors married one of the daughters of somebody who came over on the Mayflower but either died on board ship or something - so doesn't count towards Mayflower ancestry. (Because the daughters arrived on a later ship.)

ETA: found it - descended from Francis Cooke. My Great-grandfather's obit from the Sons of the Revolution.
