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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Whoah. I wonder how much money the Angels are going to pay to have Pujos sitting on the bench with an injury.
He's averaged 155 games a season over his career. What the hell rich guys? How come the Marlins and Angels and Nationals have so much freakin' money? It's insano crazy money. And the Mets and Dodgers and A's and Giants are trying to scrape together teams with Happy Meal Toys and Groupons.
Oh well. The Red Sox had the Best Team Ever going into Spring Training and didn't even make the playoffs. And the Phillies had the Greatest Rotation Ever and didn't get much for it either.
I'm actually not too bummed about it because the Angels have done the same stupid thing that the Yankees did. They've boxed themselves in with a huge long term contract. They're still paying for Vernon Wells bajillionaire contract and he's basically useless.
Still, that Angels rotation of Weaver, Haren, C.J. Wilson and Ervin Santana will be the best in the AL. And they'll bring up uber prospect Mike Trout shortly too.
But I'm sure the Angels won't give a shit if they can nab a couple of WS titles out of Albert's tenure. Having Vlad in his prime didn't get them that.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love the iTouch, as well. Moreso when Owen and Olivia are using it and the iPhone to have Harry Potter spell duels. Not so much when Owen watched the Annoying Orange non-stop on Youtube.
I think I feel a migraine coming on. Either that or a bounced check, which will bring on a migraine.

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
Hello parent Buffistas. Per usual, I spent a ridic amount of money on books for my niece and nephew for xmas.
My SIL has become very involved in a Freak Ass Church. Total cultsville, and she's taken the kids down with her.
The books I got the kids? The story of Galileo (gorgeous illustrations, and doesn't hold back on the church arresting him and confining him for life), a book about the Big Bang that is truly awesome (you're made of stars!), and some other sciencey things that are written for their ages.
Now, I understand I'm being a subversive punk. I do. What I need to know is, how do I justify it?
Signed,
Sneaky Auntie

"Science: it works, bitches"?
I dunno--say something about the importance of science education to children? Science education and enthusiasm at a young age can get them on a good career path?
Anyway, those are good, subversive choices.

Although it's sad that in this case, science is subversive. Also, many fundamentalist Christians conflate the Big Bang with the theory of evolution, so there may be some trouble there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Allyson, is it a freak-ass church that denies basic scientific principles? I ask because some don't -- my freak-ass church was pretty science-y, but managed to put it into a biblical framework (which, IMO, can be done pretty easily for many scientific principles -- though not all).
If her church is okay with science in a general way, then you might be good.
