They’re these midget-like creatures that eat and poop all day. Kinda like cats but cats are way, way cuter. And smarter.

Veggie corn dogs are the shiz. Highly recommended whether you are vegetarian or carnivore!

I was waiting for a gruesome facial injury salted with dead bugs myself.

i was waiting to hear about the dead bugs falling out of the light fixture into his food/coffee/hair and the ensuing complaints. slightly disappointed that nothing worse than a scolding happened.

My mother was schizophrenic, and was never really treated. She died a few years ago at the age of 89. I basically raised myself. It was hell. I understand your feelings, and while I am sorry that there are others out there who understand the misery of my childhood, I am kind of grateful that there are others out there…

When I was in my 20’s I ran into a neighbor of my parents downtown and she was kind of tipsy. Like, in a confessing mood, tipsy.

They Conservative Right already thinks we’re a bunch of Satanist baby killers anyway so might as well give ‘em a show.

Right? It’s weird to think of Troy that way. Maybe he’ll dance to the Reading Rainbow theme song.

I’m just trying to figure out how I can work, “What’s threatening is this lack of Vitamin C.” into daily conversation.

Hubby and I are big D&D geeks, so we had a dragon-themed affair. It was a golden cupcake thing and two dragons guarding their ‘hoard’. Used two of our colossal miniatures that we had at home as cake toppers, and a sword letter opener (found Game of Thrones’ Ice at Chapters for $16) embedded in one cupcake as a…
