Oh it sure helps to be tri-lingual, even if all of your languages are English
We are just naughty, naughty girls.
And get your mind out of the gutter, Aaron… bloody Yanks, I don’t know…
Teehee.

So true.
My Favourite Personal Tumblr Post of 2008
mabelmoments:
I posted the following and this about my Grandfather which I had found online and feastingonroadkill was able to give me the background of the man, Amery, Grandpa stood up to, and unwittingly coloured in family history in a wonderful way for both me and my father. Thank you Feasty and all the best for 2009!:
In this excerpt is a wonderful quote:

Happy New Year
This is the window display in a shop near my home.
It took me a *really* long time to understand what it was about…
I also like the fondue set sitting next to the blood pressure machine.

your link to ‘Halo’ video is broken. Please fix so I can sing along whilst watching it on your blog.
Ta muchly, britches

Hmm. Is Mr Feastingonroadkill Wrong About Hamas?
feastingonroadkill:
Maybe, maybe not. Time to do some more checking though. Via here:
“In the five years that I have been visiting Gaza and the West Bank, I have met hundreds of Hamas politicians and supporters. None of them has professed the goal of Islamising Palestinian society, Taleban-style. Hamas relies on secular voters too much to do that. People still listen to pop music, watch...

I listen to BBC Radio 4 all day every day.
When I say listen, I mean that the radio is on, and I am doing other things… I tune in and out, and sometimes feel I haven’t really been listening at all.
Then someone will mention something in conversation… and I will kind of know something about it, but not be able to give any real details.
But today. Today I made sure I paid...

But it seems awfully wide to me.
Hidden in the code is a funny little message saying to stop using IE. I found it amusing, until I checked to see what it looked like in IE…. bit wonky.

Well that was terrifying.

The Case for Pardons
jeffmiller:
Tucker Carlson makes the case for pardons. Here’s part of it:
Who should get pardoned? Contrary to myth, there aren’t a lot of innocent people on death row. But there are a quite a few guilty people who ought to be forgiven. Last week, for example, Bush pardoned a 50-year-old Missouri farmer named Leslie Owen Collier. In 1995, Collier accidentally poisoned three bald eagles. An...
