You didn't NAME him Puddles the Duck; his name IS Puddles the Duck. He's part of a line from Metlox pottery, and don't store him too high as he's valued at $250.

I liked the Sugarcubes first album, too! (Not loved, but definitely liked). And I love detective fiction. Feeling the pull of the library catalogue search ...

"huevo nog" - lmao (lowercase means I wasn't to the point of falling off my chair [in which case, it would have segued into ROTFLMAO], but I did laugh aloud heartily).

I can sing "Take me down to the Paradise City, where the grass is green and the boys [adapted lyrics] are pretty" and "Sweet chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild of mine, oooooohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh" a

I believe this is a great piece. I fairly frequently mingle with people who preferably disclose solely what they invent we intend to consider. Fine in addition to suitably built! I will travel back to your web site no doubt!

In conclusion , allow me thank you for your tolerance with my English as (I'm convinced you have figured this by now,), English is not my first tongue

2011-09-07T15:40:06.238-04:00

This is why there's some debate. It goes The Sheriff, then The Boss, then all those other people, then the Love Interest. And, as always, this is why we're still friends.

Maisie Dobbs. On it. But I'm blaming both of you if I get nothing done for the next month or so.

2011-09-07T05:39:13.991-04:00

The correct order, for those who don't know: The Boss, The Sheriff, The Creepy Brother, The Wolf, the place saved for one of a cast of revolving characters, and THEN the Love Interest (formerly known as The Boyfriend).

2011-09-06T03:35:53.601-04:00

I'd second Maisie Dobbs, and also suggest Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther series - it starts with a trilogy Berlin Noir and then he just wrote three or four other ones. (Ok, I'm excited now - just googled to see how many others and there's a new one coming out next month).

Might I recommend the Maisie Dobbs series (first book eponymously titled)? Yes, I might.

I miss you! There is no one in my life here with whom I have conversations like this. You have to move out here soon!

2011-08-05T19:46:52.849-04:00

First, they came for the Manda, but I said nothing, for I was not a Manda.

Then, they came for the Special K, but I held my silence, for I was not a Special K.....

On a serious note, I got some bats you can have.

I can just see you living in Florida and having two kids. What a perceptive psychic.

2011-05-20T23:51:01.278-04:00

It's supposed to be 6 pm regardless of time zone. Call the Kiwi. If her friends from home aren't answering the phone, go get your toilet paper. Call me too though. I'll stock up and we'll rule the land. I've been saving up for a car, but I figure someone will have left their keys in a barely dinged Porsche when they got raptured.

You don't have direct deposit? Shocking! If ONLY someone had suggested it to you before today.....

2011-02-27T21:40:50.773-05:00

I have totally gotten stuck on that roof one night! Actually, it was morning, so I risked it and backed up down the ramp. Not my smartest choice, but I feared the $8 payment. Thinking back, probably not a sound risk-reward decision.

2011-02-08T23:32:24.836-05:00

I miss that routine! And the narrator with the soothing voice and the utterly un-editorly approved use of the plural pronoun with no antecedent. I think that, combined with the soothing voice, must have soothed the part of our brain that is never turned off. A form of hypnosis that I miss oh so much.

Update-- my mom tells me that Pickle used to steal the jars not to eat the pickles but to repurpose the jars for moonshine storage...

Okay, so what's really hilarious about this post is that the GoogleAds service I have enabled on this blog is now generating ads for these products-- just had one pop up for lice treatment. Oh, Google, you're so zany...

A: Power ballads are totally cool on a road trip

B: The balls on the power lines are so small aircraft can see them, but electric balls sounds so much cooler.

C: I'm going to show this to Mom at Thanksgiving, along with a picture of Special K smoking so she sees what a dirty dirty girl she is.

And I send out thanks to the Kiwi for introducing me to the video clip above.

Fabulous. I couldn't even pick a favourite.

2010-10-29T07:52:03.259-04:00

Be careful on your journey and keep a watchful eye on my sister. She has never been there and has no sense of the pure evil which permeates the air there. And it may look silly but I strongly recommend tin foil hats. The CIA has a device that reads brainwaves.
