Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, what does the Vatican think about Batman these days?

Vatican's communications site runs Batman story

VATICAN CITY (AP) — One of the Vatican's main Twitter accounts and the website of its communications office were running stories about Batman on Thursday with the headline "Holy Switcheroo!" — raising concerns they might have been hacked.

But two Vatican officials said the site hadn't been hacked, and that the reason for the unusual posting was an "internal system failure" due to a non-native English speaker posting the story on the website.

The story was from the Catholic News Service. It has as its headline: "Holy Switcheroo! Batman has grown bitter, more vengeful with the years" and details the evolution of the Batman comic franchise.

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

I can't decide if I prefer them in the short or the long style--they're both rather cute, but would be overkill.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

We each have a Temperpedic pillow and then 3 regular pillows. DH uses one pillow; I use the rest.

I think I just like to feel air moving. If I'm driving and the vents are all closed I feel like I get twitchy and feel like I can't drive.

THIS. SO much this.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tim got the IKEA memory foam pillow that's shaped to be supportive of the neck ("Go neck! You can do it!") because he was getting a lot of neck pain. It took about 2 weeks for him to adjust to the pillow -- which is WAY more time than I would be able to tolerate, having an uncomfortable pillow -- but now his neck is un-painful and he sleeps with just that one pillow. It freaks me out when I roll over and hit it with a hand or arm, because it's SO dense. It feels like a body.

Because books.

God, I didn't need to know that site had socks and jewelry and handbags, too.

Our pillows are old, so they've gotten thinner. My parents have some that are so plump, I can't sleep with two of them.

When I was pregnant, I had to have a pillow between my legs, too.

In other news, my boss just told me he was in seventh grade in 2001. Wow.

Well, he IS probably a non-native English speaker, so you never know.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Jilli, I have an ask and a say for your adorable husband (he doesn't lurk, right--you'll paraphrase to make me look better, because I can't resist that temptation for shit...anyway).

He usually says "Thank you" while looking a smidge uncomfortable, because his instinct is to point out the things he doesn't like about the piece of art in question. Because he's a doofus.

Sleeping: some sort of pjs (white cotton Victorian-esque nightgowns for the win!), top sheet, LOTS of blankets. I really like the weight of lots of blankets. And sometimes socks and armwarmers, because our bedroom has no insulation and is like an icebox in the winter.
