Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Perry pivots away from Romney to Focus on Defense

This is a serious political article that is made hilarious by the details.

Highlights:

Fresh off a visit to a local shooting range, Rick Perry stopped by a packed restaurant in South Carolina

I think it's funny how Perry can't keep guns out of his campaign. Well, I suppose it is the primary so these things are necessary.

Much of the antigovernment message present in Perry’s stump speech seemed to go over well with the crowd at the Squat N' Gobble restaurant

I really don't think I need to say anything here.

Mulvaney praised Perry as “the right man to lead the nation,” then gave him a backhanded compliment by promising voters that the Perry they were about to see “is not the man . . . you saw in the debates.”

I love the backhanded compliment here.

After Perry left, walking by a mannequin wearing a Squat N’ Gobble T-shirt whose hand was raised above her head – a hand Perry tried to call on during a question-and-answer period -- a spirited discussion broke out in the restaurant, with some patrons waving Nobama ’12 bumper stickers. It was resolved, it seemed, after they determined that someone had left without paying their bill – and a Perry staffer agreed to pick up the tab.

Calling on the mannequin and that the spirited discussion turned out to be that someone didn't pay their bill, rather than Perry's message.

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

Thinking of you, Bob and Swifty, lisah. It's a difficult place.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

All kinds of ~ma to you, Swifty and Bob. That just sucks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

not actually keep track of each person's specific crushes.

What? I spent all this time compiling my list, and now I have to throw it out?

(it was looking remarkably like [link] but I wasn't finished yet)

lisah, I hope things go as painlessly as possible.

Punishingly Intricate

Thanks, you guys. I hope things are more clear when we go to talk to the vet again before they close tonight.

Until Bob called to say Swifty'd had a seizure the day was going well. Had a really good annual review (my self eval "I AM AWESOME" My boss' input "YOU ARE SUPER AWESOME!!!") and got a raise. So that was something.

Rollercoastery day. I just made myself a plate of comfort nachos.
