I made my joke as a post-racist statement. but yes, you can choose to remember what your poisoned mind took from it. Everyone here would like for you to store less hatred and bile, but we do realize you can't go cold turkey. We'll have to figure out a way to wean you off the evil the bad chemical imbalances create in your brain.

I think you're confusing "post-racist" with "meta-racist."

Those of us who keep an eye on such things just knew that this report wouldn't have come out of the US. I mean, for christsakes, we sent two rovers to Mars. Thanks to that, by the time humans get there, the whole planet will have been populated with the offspring.

This report makes me much more confident in my decision not to get a roomba.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

I picked it up from dtb from last week or the week before. I'm not positive that she used asterisks, but I think she did.

I'm not very original.

I've been footnoting for years. I don't expect that it's going away anytime soon.

Too bad he's such a priss and doesn't wear baseball caps, I could get him a cheesy Red Sox or Dallas Cowboys hat as a combo birthday/christmas/welcome-to-the-USA gift and set him up to be hated and reviled by all the NYC sports fans.

Thanks for the wine recommendations. I'll ask if they have anything in the bin end box that's getting close to vinegar.

Buy bil a DVD. A movie like Dumb and Dumber. Or the Jerk. Maybe he won't get it. Maybe he will. But it will make you happy to give a gift to a Jerk called the Jerk.

Really? Now that Hank has declared an end to racism, I think we should all be a little more open to the possibility of radical change.

footnoting the inside jokes.

Oh, whatever.

The sky is a wee bit cloudy and it's only 50 out. However, it is a love(r)ly day.

None forecasted here either!!! I think y'all are forecasted to get a blizzard before we are to get an earthquake!!!!

Probably because they don't really forecast earthquakes like that. And really, they technically aren't "weather."

True, but that's because snow drives TV ratings.

It is remarkable that the weather people will mention "snow" on every weather segment between November and March here, 99% of the time in phrases such as "no snow in the forecast" or "rain, because it's not cold enough for snow".

I think I should write them to do the same for hurricanes throughout the summer.

Shut up.

So there was a small "tremor" last night which caused a full stop on the Bart. Chicken shits.

Click for a Christmas Carol that you'll enjoy. It takes awhile to load, but it's worth it.

Don't try and drag me into this, you racist bastard. I've known about you all along.

Excellent idea. It will be difficult for my brother, SIL and I to keep a straight face when he opens them.
