Oh blarf! I think I dated your brother in college. haha

God, mine once sprayed herself down with designer perfume IN THE CAR. We were all trying to breathe through those useless arrow-slit windows in the back of the minivan. Near-migraine experience.

You'd think it would have at least bothered them for the first hour after the initial application, before they became used to it - so why did they keep putting it on, enough times to stop noticing how bad it is? When I try scented lotion at shops, there is a long period of regret and minor headache before the smell…

Sure, but they have the fun of freaking out together, while we pirates had to freak out solo whenever it was that we watched the episodes by our lonesome.

Stuff works out semi-okay for them by the end of the season. What happened to her obviously can't be undone, but there is a little bit of justice.

My cat rides an invisible roller coaster. :)

That's a damn shame! I think I heard some explanation that the kind of plastic used in produce bags was okay enough by our local standards. Who knows.

I've just been using produce bags. Ain't no thing.

Shout-out to our ten-year-old selves:

Can't go wrong with Inigo Montoya.

He's so much cuter when he's ginger.

Why do we already have two versions of so many moviecals, but no Ragtime? Give us a goddamn Ragtime movie! Or at the very least, Assassins.

'Sup.

That's ME up there next to the pepper steak—and don't you forget it!

Father Abernathy? His song is weird. "With a sheep's head and a licorice tooth" - WTF is that about?

Jeezy creezy, what's wrong with those nosy people? I hope I never give people crap for what they're doing with their kid unless they are in the act of throwing the kid at my head.

Hold the phone, Smithers: there's an EAST Carolina?

I got through a Chicago winter or two in Sorel's Tivoli boots. They were pretty solid - and not too expensive.

Heck yes. I have the Tivoli in houndstooth and they are warm and adorable. The ankles are a bit inflexible, but that seems to be a given in anything waterproof.
