Me too! I was trying to get the Olympics because NBC had me over a barrel, and the damn 50-mile antenna didn't pick up a thing.

It's to let them know to get the infant first; I phrased it jokingly.

You'd know - I've heard that a lot of ridiculous-even-for-the-time things were done to try to save Washington, like literally blowing smoke up his ass. True? Feel free to expand and digress, I'm bored and history's fun.

You've summoned #Whovian.

There is a legitimate purpose to the stupid things; they serve to alert first responders that there's a tiny thing in the backseat, so don't squish it. I'm not sure how many people are aware of that and are actually being safety conscious vs how many people are just putting up a cutesy sign because it's what people do…

I'm gonna drop the word "gif" and run away.

You know an alarming amount about this. I'm scared to ask if something terrible happened.

I don't mean to make light of that, certainly; those stories have been horrific.
I'm trying to cling to good news these days, though, and the idea that drug companies have responded to criticism by actually refusing to make the life-ending medications is a net positive for me. I'm hoping the horrific deaths will serve…

Occasionally the tiny sharks eat each other while still in utero, leaving only one, magnificent shark left standing swimming.

Especially at UCB. I know there are college Republicans out there, I just can't picture any of them going to Berkeley. Aren't they usually repelled by the odor of patchouli?

My mother grew up a Zeppelin fan, like all cool kids born in 65. We listened to the radio a lot, and when I was about 13 I finally made out some of the lyrics and promptly accused Zep of being huge geeks for talking about Mordor. She had absolutely no idea what I was talking about; she'd always just assumed it was…
