I beat Contra, no cheat codes (I'd forgotten them and besides, my son was at school) back in January, 1991, age 43. I almost cried when I realized there was literally nobody I could call to brag about it, other than said son, 1000 miles away, who would A) know what I was talking about, or B) give a crooked shit. And…

The Mountain is a horrible person, and horrible, horrible things will happen to him. They are already happening, as you will discover very shortly.

Not long after my first marriage, we trekked south to see His Parents. In the morning, Dad said, "Boy howdy, those springs sure got a workout last night." I blushed — but so did Mom, because it turned out it was their springs he was referring to.

I disagree, absolutely. Every puppy and kitty painting GWB punches out is living proof that A) he is no longer president, and B) nobody even wants him to be part of the system of governing. Politically, he's a non-person. His paintings remind me of this, and I always smile.

There's a freebie download program called VuePrint out there that allows you to view GIFs as their individual components. Probably others, too, but that's the one I use. Save teh GIF to your computer and open it with VuePrint.

Doesn't look much like me but certainly has my attitude, yup.

Holy crap, this was OCR'd in, wasn't it? And then you ran spell-check on it. There are so many wrong words that it's truly distracting. Please, people, for the love of literature and out of respect for the original author, clean it up.

It's not cool for volunteers to clinic supplies or XL condoms. But especially XL condoms.

The plane's "manifesto"? What were its demands?

Trust me, wait until one of them WANTS something and then answer calmly, in the quietest voice you possibly can. Continue to speak in the quietest voice you can. Refuse to go into another room or to speak more loudly. Do this consistently, at all times, but *especially* when you're doing something they like (getting…

Dog deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for not slapping that kitten clear into next week. I'm always amazed that the bigger the dog, the more tolerant he or she often is of crazy cat behavior — and how naturally the kittens seem to sense this.

This was the first smile-until-it-hurts moment of my day. Thank you so much for sharing it! Here's hoping that the WBC continue to plummet into irrelevance.

Made my afternoon. Thank you!

Dead on with a lot of this stuff, but if I'm not mistaken, at the time that Reese demanded the video footage from Carter, Finch was out of the library, heading over to the Hope for Homeless Vets facility. He wasn't available to pull it up on demand for Reese.

I read somewhere that he often has to ADR his dialogue because his voice is too soft.

Looking at pictures of the infant and just sick at heart. What a start to life! I wonder how much the physical exhaustion of rearing a newborn contributed to tensions around the house. (No, NOT blaming the baby!)

My bosscat went completely batshit over this, stalking my laptop with her kick-ass-never-mind-the-frickin'-names attitude all the way up to eleven.

I'm with you. And I'd prefer Huntsman.

I doubt it, but ... would it have helped if I'd put "women" in quotes?

Interesting. Ann Coulter says the same thing. If all women were like Ann Coulter, I wouldn't feel comfy with them having the franchise either.
