@MagsCO: Our cats are Dennis and Louise.

@pursedangler: No no no no. Alan Rickman.

in re no. 6: the jumpsuit, no. The jacket? Ooooh.

We happened to be visiting Edinburgh this weekend for our anniversary, and came across the AWC right after our trip to the Castle. It was pretty awesome to watch the shooting live: apart from the skill involved in shooting under ideal conditions, there were some wicked cross-winds happening.

@LutherNipperkin: "I'm just going to close my eyes and someone can tell me when it's all over."

@Peppermint: POW!! BIFF!! SOB!! CHA-CHING!

@LoveDoll aka The Firecrotch Bitch: I am also Catholic, and I think the others are just jealous there aren't snacks during their services like you get at Mass.

@LoveDoll aka The Firecrotch Bitch: Not so fast, Smartypants McHeathen! Joan of Arc was CATHOLIC and FRENCH and probably a WITCH, unlike the saved folks from God's America. So obviously, it doesn't count.

@MySandwich: Huh. I live in the UK, and my midwife told me that once the first trimester was over with, a weekly glass of wine or a half-pint of beer with a meal was fine. My sister-in-law and several friends also got similar advice from their midwives.

@Tchotchke: They should really just call UK Vogue "Kate Moss Monthly". I subscribed for a while, and it seemed like she was on the cover or in a significant spread every other month.

@RestroomOccupado: I've recently been reading about Emmeline Pankhurst, the radical British suffragette. The juxtaposition of this goofy, jaunty song with the grim reality of force-feeding, arson, and police beatings makes my head spin every time I hear it.

@EKane - say it wit ya CHEST!: Making that list really helps. Mr. Jud and I wrote things down together, and we wound up talking all night about our parents in a way that we hadn't before.

@Ruby_de_la_Booby: "I like to think of myself as Patsy 2.0 when it comes to mothering. I'm the updated, improved version of her. She made some mistakes with me."

@jofletcher: I was in the park with my newborn strapped to me in her sling!

I used to live in Chicago, and hated going outside in the summer, because I couldn't get to and from the El without at least two assholes saying something.

@Lilija: Heh. You said "poking around".

I'm sorry, but you mentioned Alan Rickman and then... nothing. Boo.

@SlayBelle: Actually I heard he cornered Russell Brand and said "How can you stay with a fat girl who says 'Ohhhhhhh-Oh oh, would you like to marry me, and if you like you can buy the ring?' She doesn't care about anything."

@Tippi Hedren: Wrong thread. This isn't about the cast of Jersey Shore.

@Peppermint: Hearts and minds, baby; hearts and minds.
