The current featured article on Wikipedia is about an earthquake among whose survivors were my two uncles and my grandmother, who at the time was pregnant with my father!

On October 29, 2009, in the "Quotes Without Context" thread, two consecutive posters, neither of whom were Fanfie or me, posted "Peanuts"-related quotes.

I broke my toe last week, and since then I've had to clip that toenail at least every two days, because it's growing like kudzu!

I wonder how often Wolverine has to cut his hair? Does it grow a couple of feet overnight?

Why do clones never have wicked long hair or beards when they come out of the tank at full-growth? Is there something in cloning tanks that prohibits unwanted hair growth or skeevy yellowed gnarled yard-long fingernail growth (and stimulates the exercise-free development of six-packs)?

Gosh, I wish I was grown in a tank!

I haven't been able to work out for a couple weeks now, and my arms feel totally soft. Luckily, I got a set of weights last Sunday and will hit them tonight (I promise!)

My Tree of Wisdom is 1,000 feet tall!



No, that's not some obscure new euphemism, it just means I spend a lot of time playing Plants vs. Zombies.

Brraaaiiinnsss...

I love the song they play over the end credits. Charmingly silly and cute!

I'm perspiring.

When I eat a bowl of cherries (like I am now) I think of Pres. Zachary Taylor. On July 4, 1850 he was at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Washington Monument. It was a very hot day and to cool off he consumed a pitcher of milk and a bowl of cherries. He then got sick and 5 days later he was dead. The second president to die in office.

That's kind of a morbid thing to think about while you're enjoying a snack, Quis.

Back then it was probably considered unmanly to spit out the pits. Poor Zachary.

Well, I know that I am probably safe because I am not consuming a pitcher of milk (that probably was left out on the hot day) and I am not watching them lay the cornerstone to the Washington Monument.

Milk, it does a body...not so good.

Plus, I'm pretty sure you're not a Whig, Quis.

By the way, both Whigs elected to the Presidency died in office.

That's why I won't wear one.

[snort] I'm glad I rarely if ever drink the stuff. Their "quirky, bold" new ad campaign that coos with pity for the poor dudes who have to be around PMS-ing women is stupid and gross.

Well, I am now not consuming a pitcher of milk rather than not omsuming a pitcher of milk

I assume that you presume to move to Hulme.

"Omsuming" is like cosplay where everyone dresses up like Outdoor Miner and the most convincing impersonator wins a prize.

"Congratulations, we consider you the most convincing curmudgeon."

"Thank you, SDCC. Today you've made it just a little bit easier for curmudgeons everywhere to be out and proud." [wipes tear]

Contrary to popular belief, eating too much fresh Atlantic seafood won't kill you!

But only to the one who can successful sum (aka add) a large string of numbers without the use of a calculator.

The top of the Empire State building at midnight on Wed mid-summer is crowded.

"Empire State of Mind" sucks.
