I believe I may be the first person in recorded history to ever slice her finger open on a clump of dishwasher fluid.

It was a deep slice too, complete with Dan-Aykroyd-as-Julia-Child-on-SNL blood squirty goodness.

Ow.

Happy birthday, paulismine! You WILL be assimilated to the Cult of MySpace, if only so I can leave you ultra-trendy sparkly graphic comments on occasion ( Read more... )

Happy birthday, babysinblack64! I think I've hit all of the places we usually see each other. ;-) Hope you're having a great day ( Read more... )

I've been laughing my ass off at this 'Garfield' thread all week. The link's been popping up everywhere over the past few days, so you may have already heard of it. Hey, it's one of the most important discoveries of our time - word's bound to travel fast!

Basically, it's a demonstration of how the Garfield comic is umpteen times funnier if you ( Read more... )

As you've probably heard, we're having a record-setting blizzard here in the Northeast. I'm not sure what the official snowfall total is where I am, but it's at LEAST 20 inches. AND IT'S STILL SNOWING! ARRRRGH!!!

Here are some photos I took around 1:00 PM today, for your amusement:
