  1. I tried so hard to find a gif of the First Evil (on Buffy) revealing itself to Willow, where its head (and presumably its body, although I wasn't paying attention to that part) does exactly that (turning inside out in the process) and then *poof* disappears. But alas...
  2. It hasn't even started yet. The election is Nov. 2016. Election cycle, maybe? I prefer "nugatory". It's a perfectly proper word, but it just sounds like its meaning to me. Also, that it sounds like it should be spoken by a stoner, complete with "dude" "Duuude, that's totally nugatory."
  3. Is that based on how a little kid would say "pitbulls"?
  4. I like Greek yogurt. Oikos is good, but I like the flavor choices of Chobani.
  5. I have a similar tale, but mine was stolen at the mall and they gave me the same spiel about it being illegal to drive without plates. "So, how am I supposed to get to the BMV?" Shrug. "Just sayin'. You can give him your case number, but he could still give you a ticket." A week after the new plate was obtained, they called to tell me it had been on a stolen car involved in a police chase after a store robbery. Great! They insisted I come downtown and pick it up even when I told them I didn't want it. And it was covered in the fingerprint crap and not even wrapped in a paper towel. I came thisclose to just slam-dunking it into his trash can, but figured I'd get in trouble for that.
  6. You're not supposed to feed the birds and squirrels? But - it's cat TV!
  7. I like weird animal stories! This one is really just a long-winded joke, but I laugh every time I read it. And there's even a squirrel that sounds a bit like Beardy! Neighborhood Hazard (or Why The Cops Won't Patrol Brice Street)
  8. Is it a behind-the-scenes of a previous commercial? Otherwise, I got nothin'.
  9. No, because he was talking specifically about "happy" used as a noun, not an adjective.
  10. I tried Ambien exactly twice. That first morning, I was ecstatic - I'd never slept so well before! But my reflexes and reaction times were still off and I promptly slid on snow and hit a post that tore up the front end of my car. After a day of dealing with the insurance company, the body shop and the car-rental place, I took Ambien again that night - and promptly wrecked the rental car the next day. That was when the light dawned that that shit was dangerous. And then my sister e-mailed me anecdotal accounts of people sleep-eating, sleep-driving, sleep-fucking and more than one person who woke up outside totally naked. I flushed the rest. *sigh* Too good to be true... I did OK with the brown cloth-like adhesive, but the clear stuff is a total disaster - the adhesive melts and slides around on my nose and my skin broke out.
  11. Hopefully, it doesn't have enough oomph to actually hurt anything other than a bug. I'm more worried about some dumb kids shooting each other with it and somebody gets salt in their eyes. *sigh* Which means some idiot will shoot salt in some animal's eyes, so you're right.
  12. I think they were trying to be funny with the narrator turning out to be not what you expected, but it's a fail. I'm basing this on the butterfly thing at the end, as well as the "subliminal" whispers of "herbal essences commercial" and funnily enough "whisper". But yeah, that's a swing and a miss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4JS1sWg_qY
  13. Eek! You win. Until 3 years ago, I had one digit off from a chain of funeral homes. Twenty five years of sobbing little old ladies, people pissy that I wasn't answering very professionally (and I'd have to explain this was a private home, so cut me some slack already), employees wanting to confirm which flight they were meeting to pick up the body, etc. Had a lovely chat with a pastor one night - seriously! I think we talked for about an hour after we chuckled over the misdial. Nice guy.
  14. She's not Brad's owner - she's chastising Brad's owner for totalling him. But she's apparently fine with Brad's owner being a hypocrite and doing the happy dance when LM came calling.
  15. Hmm, I thought the "wake"s were dogs and the "sleep"s were cats, and that they were stereotyping dogs as hyper and cats as lazy. I was possibly putting too much thought into it.
