Did you know Whitney was dating Ray-J?

???

ita, I have some panties from Knickerocker. They fit awesome!

But wheat bread is magic and turns into unicorns that poop rainbows. YES IT DOES.

LOW-CARB unicorns.

Gawker had an article on their site about how bad she looked coming out of a club earlier this week.

I was just reading that! Seriously--I hate to feel like a vulture circling before the ghost has been given up, but I had no idea she was that close to, I'm assuming, killing herself, albeit by mistake.

Because she sure didn't look like she was at high risk of natural death.

Some guy is still trying to convince me I shouldn't kick an attempted rapist in the nuts. I keep asking him if he'd rather I tear his arm out of the socket, but he keeps evading the question. Maybe brain damage? I'm definitely not allowed to poke them in the eye as they attempt to poke me in the vagina, I've been informed.

Seriously, though--for anyone here that thinks a nut shot isn't cricket--would it really be expected for me to take a punch to the head or stomach and not consider kicking my attacker in the groin? Because there's a social contract unbroken?

I watched a couple of episodes of Nature I had sitting on my dvr.

One was about raccoons and their extreme adaptability. It was called "Raccoon Nation". Interesting facts: Toronto has the biggest population of urban raccoons in the world.

The population in Japan started in the 70s when inspired by a popular cartoon that was based on Sterling North's raccoon - people imported raccoon cubs as pets. . . then they grew up and became dangerous. So, taking their cue from the cartoon that ended with Rascal being released into the woods. . .they let their animals go. Result: new wild population of raccoons in Japan. . . being highly destructive. They're so destructive that even the monks have zero tolerance for raccoons. (They are destroying 1000 year old temples.)

In Germany, hunters brought raccoons over to make for a more enjoyable hunt. And then some got loose. There is a town in German (Kassel?) that's had to hire experts to help combat the raccoon problem. They put a blocker on the downspouts to prevent the raccoons from shimmying up the spout. But guess what? The cleverest ones figure it out.

Raccoons - so cute, so clever. I think there should be a syfy movie about a world in which super intelligent raccoons and corvids take over the world.

I'm for whatever stops an attacker. Period. And you don't always know what their threshold is, so go for the sure shot, whatever that happens to be in the circumstances.

Maybe I can start wearing all grey!

I tried that. They were all different shades of grey and white and brown and...and now with Pumpkin, I'm just screwed. There is no possible color. Well, maybe the carpet I had growing up. My mom called it melted cookie dough. Got it specifically to not show stains or fur. Unfortunately, it did such good camouflage that you didn't even see the barf, pee or child-caused spills until you found them with your bare feet.

Yeah, he's an idiot. And clearly has no idea how serious a crime rape is.

How about if he were the one being raped? Does he really see himself adopting the position of "Kicking you in the nuts is the only way I have left of stopping you, but gosh, the world needs more fathers like you; have at it, good sir, and I'll try not to struggle too much, lest I wind up bending something that shouldn't be."

billy, why would he be raped? Rape happens to girls! Who were probably dressed improperly.

That's my carpet, renters-special light brown. I want a new carpet so bad, but not as bad as I don't want to have to move all my dang heavy furniture.

Rapist? Any guy comes after me, I am aiming for the nads.
