"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm still bemused by the fact that you can just order bees and...they come in the mail. A box of bees! It's like a Monty Python sketch.

A one... two-- A one... two... three... four...
Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?

But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?

Singing...

La dee dee, one two three,
Eric the half a bee.
A B C D E F G,
Eric the half a bee.

Is this wretched demi-bee,
Half-asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric the half a bee!

Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee,
Eric the half a bee.
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
Eric the half a bee.

I love this hive, employee-ee,
Bisected accidentally,
One summer afternoon by me,
I love him carnally.

He loves him carnally,
Semi-carnally.
The end.

Cyril Connelly?
No; semi-carnally!
Oh.

Cyril Connelly.

Teppy just reminded me of the Tim Curry/That'll Give You Bees story. [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yep. I was thinking, "That'll give you, um, bees."

I used the "OMGPONIES" in my Vampire Diaries recap, last week. I didn't realize until later that's where I (probably) got it from, and I had just linked "That'll Give You Bees" to Snacky on Twitter, around the same time. (I couldn't believe Snacky had never read it.)

More ugh. One of the people on my team has on her desk that flower arrangement from the Superbowl "women all are just whores anyway" commercial. [link]

(And am I the only one who thinks the vase itself looks kind of like a supersized sex toy?)

I have obtained four fancy cupcakes for teevee night tonight: two salted caramel, one tiramisu, one peanut-butter/chocolate. And now I have to carry them home on the bus without crushing them--good thing they came in a box!

And without eating them...

Be strong, Consuela!! You are very brave.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like quite a challenge, Consuela, but I have faith in you.
