Do not - Do Not - even get me started on Jonathon Franzen as the current great American Novelist.

Well, bunnies can be kind of scary.

Uh - the über is implied.

So, did the Kate Moss tattoo look like this:

A cat story in return for a good dog story: We live an rural area with lots of roaming dogs, cats, wild animals, large farm vehicles, etc. We have two massive Maine Coons, the sweetest beasties around, but (since they won't be reading this I can say it) none too bright. The Coonies are not let out without a leash.…

I couldn't agree more with you. I worked in schools for many years myself as a teacher, mostly to disadvantaged kids, and met people who were everything from deeply committed to kids and education to those who were indifferent about their jobs, but I wouldn't have personally even known what a predator looked like. I…

I don't mean everyone who works in child-oriented institutions is a predator. That would be a dangerous blanket statement.

We know that settings with young people in regular contact with adults (schools, churches, scouting groups, etc.) unfortunately attract people whose interest in kids is more predatory than pedagogical, or maybe some twisted combination of the two that still results in exploitation and abuse. What I wonder is if these…

You aren't really inside until you get the new mattress and the newly installed toilet. It's a simple metric for knowing when you've been accepted.

It's easy! You go back in time, make sure you are spawned in a different country, culture and family (making sure, of course, that you are in the correct socio-economic caste of that particular country and culture), and you are re-spawned as a member of a royal family.

Well, they probably knew that the simple Rolex Oyster would satisfy the undiscriminating tastes of the working class...

Obviously, she is waiting for you to wake up and join in the fun. It's a nocturnal invitation to feline pleasure.

Separate blankets, earplugs (sometimes), clip-on reading lights, eyemasks (sometimes) and above all, a little consideration = recipe for sleeping together after 26 years despite different schedules, snoring, kids, blanket thievery.

It's actually very nice where we are, we just attract a very specific kind of tourist.

Yeah, that's what I always say, too. There go our oil dollars at work.

We live just outside one of the world's most expensive cities, and we get a lot of royal traffic. Just to put Princess Deadbeat's spending in perspective, there is a prince who shows up here every year, rents a couple floors in the most expensive hotel, has all the mattresses purchased new for his entire entourage…

That video, just, wow.

Not only is it a rude name for a tiny little piggly-wiggly, but there's someone in that video who actually has the butcher cuts of a pig tattooed on his forearm. Which is different, to say the least. They seem pretty committed to swine in a lot of ways.

Yes, there's that, too. Not sure if that movie counts as intentional comedy, though.

Ah, okay - I was looking at Doug's post.
