My favorite Uranus joke is in Futurama, when Fry tells a Uranus joke and no one laughs, and Prof. Farnsworth explains that scientists had gotten tired of all the Uranus jokes so they renamed the planet Urectum.
Okay, I laughed at that too.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

That is fascinating to me, the whole being MRSA colonized. Hey, does she have her own plushy MRSA? She totally should.
BTW, not sure wtf is happening with TG this year. I may not make it, to my sorrow (and frustration, actually. I'm beyond diamond shoes and into...what? rhodium territory? I mock myself hard!) However, if we do go to Australia, I presume I'll be flying out of the west coast, and most likely LAX. So I might try to manage a day or two to see you guys? And it'll be right before TG...
I need to replace my luggage. And get a camera.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just bought chocolate bars from the neighbor's kids in my own driveway. I need the chocolate like I need a new hole in my head, but still!

Oh tommyrot, thank you so much for that link! I did see it, easily with the telescope, and once I'd done that, I could find it with the naked eye too. I'm trying to upload my pictures right now to see if I got anything. Odds are it's just Venus, but I did also get a few pics of Jupiter and its moons. Poor quality, of course, but still. We'll see what I got.

My parent (the assholes!!) just dangled a tour withthe Great Barrier Reef. OH HELLS YES. If that, I'm signing up for dive lessons this summer. Because no way I am going to that and not going deep. Unless my depth issues freak me out.

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

I think Culkin must be on drugs. I mean he looks REALLY bad. I hope he gets/seeks some help.
