It’s Iowa. There are only about three of us who know what lacrosse is.

They didn’t set themselves or each other on fire when they did it, that’s about all anyone’s looking for out of that particular school.

Comes as no surprise to anybody else, either.

Genies can and do inhabit other objects, though. I don’t remember if it was more of the Aladdin story, the Ali Baba story or one of the Sinbad stories, but a Genie of the Ring was specifically mentioned in my copy of the Arabian nights, and I’m pretty sure there was a Genie of the Bottle as well (before Barbara Eden,…

Did they never once consider that uh...nobody gives a damn about his life before the Globe? William Shakespeare...the Wonder Years has never been at the top of my “I wish someone would make this show” list.

Why the hell would that be true? We’ve all been bitching about kinja for years.

Did the Saint’s cell look to anyone else like the cell the backdoor was in? (I was drinking, sooo....*shruuuug*)

They’re writing the show, Zod. (Also, fuck kinja.)

That’s the really disturbing thing about it. What possible reason could he have thought he needed for the blood of the victim of the crime, other than wishing to invasively expand the police department’s DNA database? There’s all kinds of wrong with what he did.

No one’s saying that.

Oh I know they’d still treat him, no one’s disputing that. But there’s treatment and there’s “let me do that little bit extra, because that’s got to hurt.” I have two cousins who’ve both been in hospital multiple times. Same hospital. One is a raging, needy bitch to everyone, the other, while a little standoffish, is…

It is. Particularly when you learn that it’s still getting passed to people who are no longer working at a given (Catholic) hospital in your city.

Dealing with unhappy people or unhappy people and their animals is pretty high up there on the “might end up needing stitches” end of jobs, though, you have to admit.

How many people remember those are still out there, though? How long has it been since you’ve seen one used as ordinary currency?

Why not do something entirely different. Each bill has a view of a national park on the front and the back. If counterfeiting becomes a problem or a periodical change is coming up, change then to a different view of that park. Plenty of options, and we don’t have to give a fuck who’s on the bill or how controversial…

Sheesh. You’d think the police would have enough sense not to fuck with medical staff. What happens in that community gets around. Nurses gossip. Doctors gossip even more. (The people in the labs gossip more than the nurses and doctors put together.) You don’t want to turn the medical community against you.…

As a kid it would have been either my grandmother’s chicken and rice (the old Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup recipe) or my grandfather’s salisbury steak, but when I started wandering around (instead of actually going to classes during college,) I discovered a real liking for poutine. Everyone who’s ever said the…

Since we now have a Wall in pieces, Bran is probably just going to be Bran the Re-Builder.

The Santa Claus we’re most familiar with was designed by Coke for an ad campaign, so I actually don’t blame Kelly for assuming that he looks like her grampa. The problem really is, why doesn’t someone in a media position know that the SC we’re most familiar with in the US was designed by a cola company to boost…

I find it “interesting” that one of the most widely known megachurches in the country won’t shelter people, but the mosques (full of scary brown people) will.
