He's also my favourite part of the somewhat less well known "(Ain't Gonna Play) Sun City".
My BF and I played that over and over. We named a city in the world we were building Sun City in its honor.
Cordelia: You're him. You're Angel's son. Connor: It's not like I got to choose.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I still like Paul Young--maybe because I discovered him through his cover of "Don't Dream It's over" in a concert for Nelson Mandela--which was before Crowded House released it, IIRC. It's a great cover and it is so perfect and heartbreaking for the event. [link]

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

When I worked at the post office in Madison, I'd be earwormed with that song every time I put mail in the Sauk City slot. (Except, of course, I sang it "I ain't gonna play Sauk City" in my head.)
edit for spelling. Duh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Which got me the same look from the teacher that Jacqueline's doctor gave when I failed to count properly to ten.
Wait, what?
Incredulity at my failure to math?
When JZ was giving birth to Matilda it was my job to count to ten during contractions so she could push. I started counting back from 10 then halfway down I started counting back up again. Doctor looked at me like, "WTF?"
Same look from the Teacher when I cut the construction paper in half and was off by more than an inch.

Because books.
Whereas I went straight to "impregnable" jokes. OMG, y'all, didn't I used to be a grownup? At least once?
I love you so much.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In related news, there was an article in the paper about a woman who's irritated that Facebook won't let her post the name of the town she was born in. The town? Effin ... it's in Ireland.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, Sandusky news, re: his lawyer's faux pas:
The choicest moment: At one point, Amendola discussed the possibility that Mike McQueary witnessed a rape, told Joe Paterno and two university administrators, and no one did anything except tell Sandusky to stay out of the locker room with kids. To anyone who believes that version of events, Amendola said, "I suggest you dial 1-800-REALITY." We did. Here's what we got:

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Geeez, Sandusky lawyer dude. Oy.
We had our Holiday potluck and White Elephant exchange. I brought ginger cookies and still have half a tin left. They are NOT coming home with me. Might stop by K-Bug's work and let her share them there. Also for the exchange I brought a Bath and Body Works lotion set and stole an Ugly Christmas Vest. All the alcohol was already stolen the requisit number of times, so I figured why not. K-Bug has an Ugly Christmas Sweater party next weekend and now she has something to wear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think 1-800- most things goes to porn lines now? I feel like this is something I've read.
