Well, it takes one to know one, or so I hear.

I cannot seem to detach myself from this iPad. No kidding; it's really getting a bit scary, how it's become such a necessary component of my life in just a couple of weeks. Cosmo, that was really evil of you.
I blame Cosmo because my car wouldn't start when we got back from vacation. That's the second time it's happened.
Haladir, I'm going to email that one to my Dad. He's a huge fan of tortillas, apples and cheddar. He's also doing most of the cooking these days, since my Mom bashed her knee up.

Hey! Where did the chaos get to? I just escaped from Order.

Very true! Darned bunnies.... *Cuddles slaadlings*
MATT DAMON!!! Dude! *Headbonk* Geistlinger should not rule this city because s/he is inconsistent about whether politicians are puppets or clowns.

Hey, SnowJade Dreams are my latest line, and are predicted to sell like Anti-Gravity Catoast.

Andromalius, n. A small gland, located immediately above and behind the forebrain of the hemale greater four-banded sea slug of Mintaka IV, which produces the hormone andromiskin. This hormone is released after the completion of the mating dance, and prompts the animal to construct and defend the burrow in which the female and shemale partners lay and secondarily fertilize approximately 1,000 ova.

It's very VERY good. Devastatingly depressing. Extraordinarily well-written. Much deserving of its place among classic literature.It's Cosmo's fault.I was going to answer this, and then I realized it's not directed at me, and that made me cranky since it tricked me.What does it say about me that I'd rather read The Mouse That Roared than Of Mice and Men?I take it you always rooted for Jerry in Tom and Jerry cartoons? Ah. What actually prompted my original comment was the fact that Crazy and I went to see "Under the Skin" on Saturday, and I couldn't make heads or tails of screenplay, so I decided to read the book (I love my Kindle.) It's very much in the "classic" mode; beyond the obvious elements of the plot, the author is exploring the universal (oh, all right, pun intended) themes of, well, alienation, dislocation, gender bias, etc. Which made me wonder if, in your opinion, classes on literature in high school would be more productive if books like Under the Skin, Dune and Stranger in a Strange Land were taught as well as the old standbys?
And kittenbees. Don't forget the kittenbees.
Here. We went to see the movie on Saturday, and there was way too much backstory and POV that a screenplay couldn't express, so I thought I'd read the book. Now I know which aliens really disturb me. YD, no offense or anything, but you aren't really all that disturbing in comparison.
Nope. Not a good time to come out from under the chaos. *Disappears back under the chaos*
I blame Cosmo for only letting me get 15 minutes of sleep last night.

Oooohh, good save, Tels! As for rooting, whose avatar is feline? No kidding, James, have you really read Of Mice and Men? What's it like?

So can I have your gaming books? Since you won't be using them and all... Congrats, fellow Dakotan! Don't get greedy, BNW. We used to have the kids at the gaming sessions all the time; it's a great break for stressed parents. The wee ones sleep a lot, and the older ones simply get handed some dice and stuck into the game.
Bake at what temperature?
The good news is, I felt the cap getting wiggly and pulled it out before it actually broke off in my mouth. The bad news is, of course, now I have to go back to that [redacted] prosthodontist. Oh, Cosmo.
Danggit, just lost a fang. Now I'll be growling with a lisp.

Edda: The Viking Saga
Neil Gaiman has been very hit-and-miss for me, for some reason. I've loved a lot of his stuff, but I got a few pages into The Ocean at the End of the Lane and decided that it was too depressing for words.
Okay, I give up.

*Sigh* Now I want a steak. Medium-rare, with all of the trimmings.
Something is on the roof of my house. Do I want to go outside and look, or just scream?
I refer you to the first post in this thread. *Takes one look and dives frantically under the nearest pile of chaos.* EDIT: *Reaches out with a large, furry paw and gathers the rest of the tail under the pile.*
Looks like some kind of pie to me. I guess I'm in the 84% not affected.Thanks! Now I know how to make 16% of the world population stay away from my pies. Looks a bit like a cherimoya, which is my favorite fruit. The seeds don't bother me. As for making people stay away from your pies, I'd recommend the Stargazy Pie, which is a specialty of Cornwall. I really don't want to find that looking back at me when I sit down at the dinner table.
Ha ha, made you laugh! [/fangy_grin]
I blame Cosmo for pennies costing 2 cents to make. I read this on a Snapple cap so it must be true. And now it's on the Internet, so it really must be true. We can all blame Cosmo for promulgating these "truths".
Holy cow. That tuxie cat looks just about identical to mine.
You were supposed to laugh.
Given the amount of oil, timber, etc. that Alaska has to offer, as well as its strategic position, I'd think that Russia would jump at the chance to lay claim to it. Which is ironically hysterical because, QED, the Alaskans would find it a lot harder to secede from Russia than from the US.
*Headbonk* And you enjoy your apricots. I have to stay far, far away from them.
Spear points? You had spear points?! Boy, when I was at university, we were just getting into the whole bipedal thing.
Well, I tend to favour Norwegian kitties, so I do know about big, but it is still not what I am talking about here. I am talking about hundred pound cats with brains, claws and tempers. You know, like a Rottweiler cat? Scary doesn't even come close... Oh, we have plenty of those around here. We call them mountain lions.
Out of curiosity, which version? The first I heard was Within Temptation's version, but I learned within the past month or so that there's another version floating around. Not sure which is the cover and which is the original either. It was the Imagine Dragons version, but I like the Pentatonix cover just as much, if not even better. That violin is so much cooler than the one I had to play when I was a kid. (Sorry, Lou!) I blame Cosmo for Dubstep.Ouch, that's harsh. Totally. I blame Cosmo because I had to find this to make it go away. EDIT: I just looked at this, and thought "Radio-cat-tive, radio-cat-tive,
Next stop, kittenbees! Thank you so, so much, Cosmo.
I've got "Radioactive" as an earworm. Could be worse, of course, but it's yet another example of Cosmo's insidiousness: it's a song I like, but not one of my ultra-favorites. Hmm. Is it possible to change the earworm playlist?
Oof. What a week it has been. Today I rode my bike around at lunch and had some watermelon. Super excited for them to officially be in season :) Okay, I have a very, er, unlaundered mind. 'Tis the season for watermelon romance!
Lucky, what are you doing up at this hour? I didn't know you were a fellow night-wanderer.
Denied. He keeps us all amused, as well as wondering where he left all of his brain cells.
