  1. @kaytsukel S'up?
  2. @ccondry You could probably make panini with it, too!
  3. We gave the 5-year-old power of Freeze! Unfreeze! this morning. In retrospect, he was always going to abuse it.
  4. MT @MargaretAtwood: For 325K Follower celebration, must choose a thing all can share. Secret photo of me at 14 dressed as a hot dog?
  5. @ChrisKubica No, he was the man I skittered away from as quickly as possible, 16 years ago.
  6. @debenham It had a toaster on the front, & Cousin Oliver on the back. It was splendid, I have to say.
  7. @ponyonabalcony @kalenski Personally, I think it went to hell when Greg moved up to the attic.
  8. @kalenski @ponyonabalcony Yes, but it wasn't like the Brady Bunch was, you know, a high quality program before...
  9. Yesterday I ran into a friend who was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Cousin Oliver on it. He ironed it on himself. Made my day.
  10. @ChrisKubica Shortly afterwards, a man came to a reading & said, "I wanted to meet the lady whose bed you can see in her mirror."
  11. @ChrisKubica Oh Lord. Do you know what that fan means? It means Marion Ettlinger is a nice & persuasive person.
  12. Hey, everybody: @Chris_Offutt is on Twitter. I just thought you'd like to know.
  13. @apple_twig_Li It is very, very beautiful.
  14. @AnnaKeesey Oh my lord I loved that heart! Yes, that too.
  15. Sometimes I think the most significant object of my childhood was the Invisible Woman at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry.
  16. @jrobertlennon Well played, sir.
  17. @gracejunkie As long as you don't own any Billy Beer, you're fine. @dvmurrell
  18. @cerebralhem I wanted to call out, "Come back! I'm not done being irked at you!"
  19. FURTHER OBSERVATION: And when they move on, you miss them, because you still have your irritation and nothing to hang it on.
  20. OBSERVATION: People who laugh in hallways outside of offices are intolerable.
