I'm living the
- I still have (half) a job in these hard times.
- I can still afford gas for my Smurfmobile.
- I get a lesson in humility approximately every fifth Wednesday. Sometimes they take, sometimes not.
- I've never been to prison. But I never say never -- though I'll bet Paris Hilton did. Speaking of whom (albeit I think I vowed not to speak of her but sometimes I don't keep promises), who do you suppose will hawk the first "Liberate Paris" tee-shirt?
- How do we know we're not all committing half a dozen crimes and misdemeanors every day? They write new laws all the time but don't bother telling us about most of them. Is it even still legal to talk on a cell phone while walking on the street in pink shoes?
- I can loll about languishing in lethargy better than anyone else I know -- and enjoy doing it.
- By the same token, I can waste more time than any other human I know -- and relish doing it.
- Is the plural of dumbass dumbassii?
- My piercings are discreet, and if I have a tattoo, you'll never see it.
- My dog adores me and my kid tolerates me. That's not so bad.
- My siblings and my parents still speak to me.
- I'm stubborn enough to never have to do anything I really, really don't want to do.
- Alas, I am also stupid enough to have fallen for a couple of scams. In fact, sometimes I'm too gullible to live. In some societies, I'd have been executed decades ago.
TWISTED LINGUISTICS

I find the above of particular interest because they all come from a person who bills him/herself as a "professional editor" -- meaning, for money. Would you pay for that?
dinking - Popping somebody upside the head, gently, so they don't notice it too much.
psuedonym - Pssst -- I'm going to sue 'da nympho.
thermometor - Red-hot projectile from space, not quite a meteor but bad enough.

Fortune: Buy a chicken it is a wise investment
(I have lived by this for many years now)
I never worry about what the laws are, or what I should be doing, I just go till someone tells me to stop.
PS- Lets' see the tattoo!!
Are we having quiz reruns? Mine said something about cake.
I often fight with my conscience when it comes to the letter of the law vs the spirit of the law.
No person is without enemies. Except for you and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Yes, I am from California.
Buy a chicken it is a wise investment
Yes, MXI, but aren't there laws regulating what you may and may not do with said chicken?
P.S. -- I said "if." I'm not saying I have one.
Are we having quiz reruns? Mine said something about cake.
Maybe so, Roxan. Maybe so. It wouldn't surprise me.
Sometimes the letter v. the spirit is a tough call.
Yes, I am from California.
LOL, Steve. I don't even have that as an excuse.
I'm stubborn enough to never have to do anything I really, really don't want to do.
I'm the same way, but I always thought it was because I'm an asshole. Nevertheless, I think this is one of the keys to happiness.
Well, if it makes me happy, T, and it makes you happy, too, my guess is there's no assholery involved and we should continue to be as stubborn as we wanna be.
A professional editor, huh? For what publication - Spelling for Dummies?
LOL. That's what it should be, instead of purportedly freelance for some publisher. I'm pretty sure it must be one of those publishers to be avoided.
Fortune: Remember where you buried your treasure.
What am I? A squirrel? Is my name Squirrel Nutkin? Sheesh O'Dear.
Oh Man, I wanna get drunk.
Good to see you're back to your perky self, Serena, now that the moon is on the wan.
There would be few among us who've not broken a law or two during our lives...me included!
A starship ride has been promised to you by the Galactic emperor.
Chris Rock once said if Ricky Martin doesn't get another hit song soon, he's going to be living La Vida Broka. This reminds me of a dance video I like. I'm going to go find it and post it. The dance war is on, lady.
Lol "Liberate Paris"!
You know, I'm not a fan of Ricky Martin (to put it mildly) but that song...you just know that when they recorded that one, they were all like "This is a f*cking HIT, is what this is." Because, c'mon.
Okay, and once again I play the Charlie Brown role in the "What's your fortune" game:
The wind brings the scent of your failure.
Here I thought it was crying Mary, but that's good to know when I'm waiting to hear back on two big subs. Yay me.
CD, you dig up that treasure and I'll go get drunk with you. LOL.
Thanks, Lee. Looks like I'm going to live. I'll post later whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.:)
All right, Lesia -- dance war! Yeah.
I'm not a Martin fan, either, DQ, but yeah, it's f*cking hot. Too bad I can't say the same for my own la vida loca.:) Don't worry about the wind; I'm betting it's going to blow good news your way.
Serena, the wind blows...
Steve, do you think we need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows? I'll go ask Bob. He'll know.:)
Last Friday Alun, my work colleague, said to me, 'Oh, it's National Jedi Day.'
'Is it?' says I innocently.
'Yes, May the Fourth be with you.'
I wouldn't mind but he caught me last year too.
Well, dang, Liz, I wish we had a National Jedi Day here in the States. I wouldn't mind trying my luck with The Fourth. I'd probably get captured by a Jedi with a big saber, though. That might not be so bad.:)
