I came THAT close to messing my pants...  

  People who say they don't eat bacon most likely have a secret stash in a piano seat or something.

 

  Unless a pig died for my gastronomic indulgence, it ain't bacon.  

  Alex Stroup - "I think the cardinal rule of home ownership is "If the house hasn't fallen down it is good enough and we'll probably move before it does."

- I think that's also called the Pressler approach.  

  ... and if that doesn't make you want to see it yourself then you're boring.  

  How did a 17-year-old Jewish girl come to say, "Yeah, that Newt Gingrich. He speaks for me."  

  I called in useless.  

  Remember, Lashbear lives in our future!!!!!!!!  

  Whenever I make a sandwich at home and put lettuce on it, I feel like I'm stealing food from the rabbit.  

  We have no idea what it was, but I for one welcome our new insect overlords.  

  Ya can't make this stuff up!!!  

  Actually - it's the Russian Robots that offend us, if a human Russian wished to join us, we'd break out the Stoli  

  The dance card here isn’t full, but it helps to not be a wallflower.  

  I am similarly agnostic about whether there are invisible phase-shifted evil robots in my bedroom closet just waiting for me to go to sleep tonight so that they could kill me.  

  Spitzer? I hardly know her.  

  Most people are just finding in it what they were already looking for.  

  The memory even tastes gross...  

  We've had a little conversation here, in the virtual world, that may come up in actual face-to-face conversation the next time we're at a LoT meet. In one thread we're talking about our high school experiences, in another, our political feelings, and in a third, what songs make us happy. And, of course, bacon.  

  I am fairly certain that it is against the Geneva convention to confine someone to a hospital bed and not provide internet access.  

  ...a disquieting metamorphosis as my body becomes a baby machine.  

  At first I thought the guy was all business, but when he turned around, I realized he came to PARTY!

  From my great aunt: Only boring people get bored.  

  Success and failure are not defined by how many mistakes you made or didn't make, how many good or bad decisions you might have made, or how often you've been right or wrong. They are defined by how you handle the mistakes, the bad decisions, and being wrong. Success isn't perfection, success is treating every step as a new opportunity to get it right, no matter how many steps you've gotten wrong up to that point.
