HI TOM MY NAME IS SHOEBOX AND I MAKE SONGS SOMETIMES MY CAT SITS ON MY SHOULDER AND NUDGES AWAY THE COFFEE CUP EVERY TIME I TRY TO DRINK OUT OF IT AND THEN I HAVE A LOUSY MORNING AND CAN ONLY TALK IN UPPERCASE WITH NO PUNCTUATION OKAY BYE

Obviously, ShoeBox has been making friends with Mister Triple Ripple Frappaccino w/ extra Jolt. I think, amigo, that the cat actually saw the caffiene waves boiling off the surface, and was only thinking of your welfare (or else that if he got ahold o' that shit, the mice are screwed -- the ol' Jean-Tom thing from Gay Purr-ee (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008MTY9/tomsmithonlin-20)).

And now I'm REALLY glad I didn't pick Meat Loaf. This response wasn't here when I originally started composing mine.

I kinda guessed when I heard "PQR" and "Heat of the Blood" that you were probably a Meat/Steinman fan.

Well, you took the words right out of MY mouth!

Vermont Endangered By Wal-Mart -- No, Really

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

WASHINGTON - Famous for its fall foliage, quaint towns and covered bridges, the state of Vermont — and its charm — is threatened by a corporate behemoth, a nonprofit preservation group warned on Monday. The alleged culprit: Wal-Mart.

Because of plans for several new Wal-Mart Supercenters across the state, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has placed the entire state of Vermont on its 2004 list of the most endangered historic places in the United States.

Story Here (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=519&ncid=519&e=2&u=/ap/20040524/ap_on_re_us/endangered_sites_2).

It's already got low-class employees with no job security. Thank you! I'm here till Friday. Enjoy the buffet!

Text of Bush's Speech Tonight

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

On the message board at Atrios (http://atrios.blogspot.com/), someone put up this link (http://www.haloscan.com/) to the content of Bush's speech about his plans for the future of Iraq. Everyone thought this was excellent satire, even after the link was corrected with this one (http://www.workingforchange.com/comic.cfm?itemid=14441).

But I think this one (http://www.felbers.net/mt/archives/001789.html) is the best.

Golf clap?

Hehe

[wormquartet.livejournal.com]

Sure!

But I normally don't clap for golf...I just drive by golfers whilst screaming "HIT THE F***ING BALL!" out the window.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

You're a darling. :)

Frustration

[janet-coburn.livejournal.com]

I know these collapsed sub-threads are meant to make the LJ more wieldy (as it were), but now I can't tell *where* a new comment has been added if it isn't added at the very end. I'm afraid I'm missing lots of good zingers--and not the kind with the chocolate icing.

Re: Frustration

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

I admit that I have no idea how to un-collapse them -- anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
