do or die.

The guy's reaction in this clip gave me a hearty chuckle:

Check it out.

Let that be a lesson to us: If you nearly lose your life, the best way to deal is to take a moment to make sure you look good.

Yesterday:

"I hope I'm not too weak to go tanning tomorrow." -- Rick, who has been very sick with a high fever

Today:

"She said I have a textbook cervix." -- Teddy, talking about some gynecological appointment

Excellent. (Though I think it would have been slightly funnier for it to say, "y u has to git the cheep litter?")

"I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me."

-- John Cleese

George Carlin mourned as a counterculture hero.

Apropos for me today:

Right-wingers in California claimed to have procured 1.1 million signatures in favor of a ban on same-sex marriage. Wasn't the ban ruled unconstitutional, you ask? Yes, but it could be overturned.

HRC is gathering signatures from people who support MOTHERLOVIN EQUAL RIGHTS. Currently they have 979,025 signatures!

Thanks everyone!

This is awesome:

"We're going to some of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier because you don't want to be around a clavier that's not well-tempered. My cat had it once, and it was very painful."

-- Bela Fleck

I'm proud of my peeps.

Now, who's next?

On the astrological tip: Pluto, planet (or plutoid, if you insist) of transformation, who has been retrograde, just moved back from Capricorn - field of responsibility, maturity, wisdom - into Sagittarius - field of higher belief, philosophy, optimism - shortly after midnight on Saturday. It seems a fitting time for these changes to occur.

As seen in the annals of st_theodora:

"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."

-- Arthur Schopenhauer

"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts."

LOLOLOLOL!! I didn't have this one, but I'm pretty sure one of my friends did. That equalizer looks awfully damn familiar.



I love Rick Johnson's face when he's "on piano".

From Johnny Goodtimes in The Metro*:

I was hanging out at the Khyber and while looking around, I realized that it had officially happened: My friend and I had become the creepy old guys in the room. My fellow geriatrics and I discussed the differences between us and the youngsters and were astounded. Among our observations:

- They don't remember when the Berlin Wall fell.
- They've not only never bought a record, they've probably never bought a cassette tape.
- They have no idea who Conan the Barbarian is, but they know who the governor of California is.
- They've never used a typewriter or word processor.
- They've never spend a single Thursday night watching "Cosby Show," "Family Ties," "Cheers," and "Night Court."
- They've never used an encyclopedia.
- They've never gotten Nintendo Thumb.
- They've never had to get off the couch to change the channel.
- They've never used a rotary phone.
- They don't remember when you could spend $3.99 a minute to listen to a recording from Corey Haim on his 1-900 number.
- They don't realized how much of a badass B.A. Baracus was.
- They don't remember when Doritos only came in one flavor.
- They don't know what color Q*bert is.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to grab an Arch Deluxe and a Crystal Pepsi and watch "Tron" on my Betamax. It's a creepy old guy thing. You wouldn't understand.
