Today's words Word don't know: haver, phallocentric

Your hands must hurt indeed. Coding problems with the table in your post, not showing up right.

Every so often my client freaks out on a cut and paste.

Well, the provisions would have to be ideas, really. And grit and determination, and a willingness to keep going forward rather than quitting and building the cabin here.

Yeah, though. For me, this is the hard part. Beginnings are a marvelous game, and endings are exhilarating. Middles. Just hard work.

Re: Life beats Satire like a redheaded stepchild yet again

Virginia Reed watches her pony, Billy, get smaller and smaller as her wagon train pulls away leaving Billy left to die. She recalls her love for Billy and how Billy will always stay in her heart.

...and her stomach.

True. But they're not half as klassy as "Silence!".

It rubs the lotion on its skin
It does this when it's told
It rubs the lotion on its skin
Or else it gets the hose
And when it's done there's one more thing
A simple little task, it's:
Put the fucking lotion in the basket.

Yeah, I suppose it doesn't really count. Still, I'd love to see THAT try to make it on Broadway. I love me some musical train wrecks!

"Shockheaded Peter", I think. It's sort of a gothic German "children's" musical, with lots of bad endings and blood. It's actually very good!
