"I'm going to blow up my feet and have Taquitos."
Yup. Another morning at Offhand Manor
Feb. 14th, 2010 10:22 amMe: "We're millionaires!"
Kirsten: Gives me That Look
Me: "We'll open a Borders book store with a Taco Bell in it."
Kirsten: That Look with a side of Raised Eyebrow
Me: "Make a run for the Borders!"
Kirsten: sighs, face-palms. "You're weird, sir."

Switching to lead pipes helped.
Jun. 4th, 2009 02:51 pmHeard this morning on KCBS, during a run down of upcoming stories. "San Jose Police making progress in savage beating of elderly man."
Nice of them to keep us informed.

I don't hate anybody...I PITY THEM.
But God had to make fools, too...
On the other hand, WHEN DID "AMERICA" AND "FREEDOM" BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH
"WONTON EVIL?"

When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.

Please tell me this person is faking it.

I have many issues with Gov. Palin and her inability to finish a sentence in less than 30 words, but the man's name is Kim Jong-il. She pronounced it correctly. the -il is a generational syllable; something you don't see that often anymore, but a tradition for centuries in many Asian cultures.
Really, I'm hoping this poster was trolling.
Sarah Palin made a deplorable showing in the debate. Not only did she get the name of the commanding general in Afghanistan wrong, at one point she pronounced the name of Kim Jong II (King Jong the Second, or even perhaps Kim Jong Two) as Kim Jong "ill") Merciful heavens, does the woman not know anything about names with Roman numerals, or thar "II" can simply mean "the second"? The woman's ignorance is boundless!

Still feeling like crap, and still tied to the Porcelain Reading Room.

Great quote.
Feb. 10th, 2008 12:11 pm"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps." - Eleanor Roosevelt, 1945
Pretty much sums it up. I found it in a SFGate thread on the whole Berkeley/USMC mess.

Nov. 8th, 2007 06:36 pm"It seems to me that the search for truth is a very slippery hamster. One that's covered with Vaseline & allowed to glide, unsupervised, all over the Kitchen Floor." - from an alt.conspiracy post that is a masterpiece of unformed thoughts and Random Capital Letters.
I'm watching an Airline marathon on A&E. Every so often, they'll follow a passenger with an interesting story. In this episode, it's Mrs. Maryland, who is competing at the Mrs. International pageant. She works with some charity (didn't catch the name)
When asked about it by Bob Barker, she said the following:
"We're already international. We're in the United Kingdom, Australia, really remote areas of the world."
Have no fear, Great Britain! Mrs. Maryland is coming to save you!
