Professor, her kind of woman doesn’t belong on any committee.
Of course, I shouldn’t tell you this but she advocates dirty books.
Dirty books!
Chaucer!
Rabelais!
Balzac!
And the worst thing
Of course, I shouldn’t tell you this but-
I’ll tell.
The man lived on my street, let me tell.
Stop! I’ll tell.
She made brazen overtures to a man who never had a friend
In this town till she came here.
Oh, yes, that woman made brazen overtures
With a gilt-edged guarantee
She had a golden glint in her eye
And a silver voice with a counterfeit ring
Just melt her down and you’ll reveal
A lump of lead as cold as steel
Here, where a woman’s heart should be!
He left River City the library building
But he left all the books to her
Chaucer!
Rabelais!
Balzac!

Actually, I did send a pet story, complete with pictures, to Anne Laurie, and it has never seen the light of day.

and heres my alltime favorite garbage.
Push it.
its the nuns.

@matoko_chan:
Since that play doesn’t have a role for “crazy kid locked in the closet when company comes”, I’m at a loss.

I think I’m in lust. This whole trash emo goth punk thing she’s got going is really intriguing.
Wonder if she’s into balding, middle aged married men?

I think the stories were supposed to be Pet Rescue stories. Pet stories is too broad a classification. Not that there is any thing wrong with that but notice how much attention poor Boghan gets from Uncle John.

I have the biggest girl crush on Shirley Manson.
Suck It Up!
hmmm

As if I’m going to complain about a little Shirley Manson in the morning.

President Obama is set to sign the first school-lunch-program expansion/improvement in 30 years into law.
But I just can’t get too excited about that or anything else today, because we’ve lost Ron Santo.
R-Jud
@Ash Can:
Oh no!
Scott
So if people don’t send in pet stories, you’ll post Shirley Manson videos? Are you trying to keep people from sending in pet stories? ;)
Ash Can
@R-Jud: I’m devastated. I can’t imagine him not being on the radio when Spring Training starts.

“Pizza” Ron Santo died

I sent my story w pics and all. Is there some kind of selective editing process going on here? Are only those Juicers who spew vitriol towards Hamsher allowed passage into these hallowed halls?
Starfish
@Josie: Maybe it accidentally ended up in the spam folder?
R-Jud
FYI: Julian Assange is meant to be having a live webchat on The Guardian’s site right now. But the page keeps crashing, so I can’t tell whether he’s actually shown up or not.
Guardian live webchats are REALLY annoying. If you want to read, you have to click “go to latest comment” and then keep refreshing to see what’s being discussed. If it’s anyone even remotely newsworthy it always takes ages to load.
stuckinred
@El Tiburon: Take a deep breath.
Josie
@Starfish: That is a possibility. I would think, however, that someone who was requesting submissions would periodically check their spam filter. I could be wrong.
@El Tiburon: You’re probably joking, but I actually wondered if I had pissed somebody off at some point. Who knows? Hmmm, maybe the Shadow?
Annelid Gustator
@Michael: Well, that song is 15 years old. So, maybe!

I just laughed loud enough to alarm the dogs.

And FWIW, I think listening to Shirley Manson is a great way to start a Friday morning.
We’re supposed to get our first snowfall of the season tomorrow here in northern IL. 4-6″ predicted, but throw in the variability of Lake Effect, and who knows?
I’m enjoying the last few hours of clear driveway. Not even thinking about the roads.

and now reid gets in the game. senate vote for the <250K cut only is set for saturday.
reuters says it’s ‘symbolic’, mostly because apparently they think reid doesn’t have the votes or can’t stop a filibuster.
Karmakin
Garbage’s best song is their last song.

I like Garbage. I like pet stories. Why can’t we have both.
I’m in the process of adopting a stray kitten. He’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. I promise to send stories and pictures.
El Tiburon
@stuckinred:
I am turning blue over here. Of course I am joking, but if it helps hamsher looks like Phyllis Diller’s afterbirth.
Can I now get my awesome pet rescue story published?
matoko_chan
@Michael: im not emo, im scene.
membah?
emos cut themselves. the scene cut others.
PeakVT
Well, that song is 15 years old.
Gawd I feel ancient all of the sudden. Thanks, worm eater.

@matoko_chan: I don’t think he was talking to or about you, child. It was a Shirley Manson thing.

Re: Garbage — I miss the 90’s. The only decade that didn’t suck in my lifetime (so far), and I was born in the mid-60’s. Not so coincidentally, it’s also the only decade where I got to live with 8 consecutive years of a Democratic President.

Gus
@Josie: As did I.
JGabriel
Michael:
Possibly. Manson’s 44 now herself now, and married to a husband she’s presumably “into”.

Annelid Gustator
@PeakVT: Me too. I remember making out with my gf while that song played on repeat.

After so much bad news lately, the good news is that Garbage is working on a new album, with a tour possible next year.
If you get a chance to see them live, do it.
Shirley really puts on a show.
Maody
I sent one in too. Perhaps ours weren’t funny or sad enough?
Mike The Dealer
I saw their last show in the US, a crazy gig in Vegas, can’t believe how long it’s been, really hope this new album pans out, one can only survive on Shirley being a T-1000 for so long, I need more Garbage.
Anne Laurie
@Josie: @El Tiburon: I absolutely intend to publish every pet story people send me, and mostly in the order I receive them. Josie, your Teddi and Wiley are currently #3 in the queue. El Tiburon, Alli is at #9.
If anybody else reads this so late, I now have nineteen pet stories lined up… don’t want to be too much of a miser, but it’s nice to be surprised by a special treat sometimes, isn’t it?
And I should say that my definition of “rescue” is pretty broad… anyone who’s been wondering if their story is “topical enough”, the answer is almost certainly YES!
