Oh man, I used to love them. I wonder if I still have those cds?

They are reissuing their first four CDs as deluxe versions in the Spring.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The Bloggess acquired a taxidermied weasel [link] which led to this exchange with the long-suffering Victor:

My assumption is that Victor didn’t appreciate my weasel/alligator diorama because he assumed that the weasel was a boy and didn’t understand that the alligator is a transvestite. I understood his confusion and so I attempted to make things more obvious for him, but when he asked if I would help him button his sleeves I said, “I can’t right now. I’m trying to put a dress on this weasel” and then he just walked right out of the house. Which is unhelpful and also sloppy because no one outside can button those sleeves for you either, Victor.

I love this woman.

Ginger, I laughed until I cried reading that.

Art Crawl!!!

Ooh, that's interesting news. (About Everything but the Girl. . . not the Bloggess' husbands sleeves or her weasel/alligator diorama.)

alligator is a transvestite.

Oh my lord. My sister and I have a decade-long running joke about a transvestite alligator (Transvestigator!) stemming from a Keith Haring mural they had at Rush when my mom was in the ICU there. We even wrote a comic book at one point.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I, for one, believe the Bloggess is one of us and just doesn't know it yet.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I wish we could recruit her without bringing over all her fans.

Interesting article about who owns the U.S. debt, consumption of imported goods, and where we buy our oil.

I've heard all of those points from other sources as well. IMO, it really doesn't matter than our oil doesn't come from the Middle East, it's a fungible good so it's more of an issue of the effect our overall consumption has on the world market.

I find the manufacturing output point the most surprising. It wasn't very long ago I came across information that set me straight on that.

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

I was reading other people saying there were two more two hour blocks of Downton to come. I'm not precisely paying the most attention, just cursorily watching. Somehow this season didn't grab me like the last.

All I know from Sue Perkins is her Graham Norton appearance, but she's pretty much textbook-gay-lady-trying-to-seduce-ita !. It's patently, shamelessly obvious.
