"MY F^$#IN' BABY!!!!"
I went for a run with Tasha (my black lab mix) a few weeks back and was at the corner of "Emmanuel Cleaver II Boulevard" (I still think of it as 47th Street) and Oak, stopped. I was looking down or something when I heard the clunk of metal on metal. There was an old 244 Volvo sitting there, in the center lane, bearing into the right lane like the driver was about to turn right with a mid 70's GM 2 door in the right lane grazing it. A couple was in the OldsmoBuick with a baby in one of those carriers that you put them on the floor in, not the kind recommended for a car seat. At least that's the way it appeared to my childless eyes. The baby slid forward in between the bucket seats.
The woman on the passenger side just screamed, "My Baby!!!".
"MY FUCKIN' BABY!!!!"
She got out of the car.
"MY FUCKIN' BABY!!!!"
She stomped toward the other car.
"MY FUCKIN' BABY!!!!"
I went behind both cars with Tasha and got the hell out of there.
It seems to me it you care about "MY FUCKIN' BABY!!!!" then you spend the money on a proper car seat and have "MY FUCKIN' BABY!!!!" properly fastened in place. And if you're angry at anyone about "MY FUCKIN' BABY!!!!", it should be the guy driving the car who didn't notice the car stopped. Just my 2 cents and maybe I'm overvaluing it.

Inside Gretchen's Head :: I know you ain't touchin' my mannequin!
She mentions the Geo Metro which I mistakenly thought she and Chris drive. I should have known.
Only morbidly obese people seem to drive those things and Ford Aspires. I often see them and think why don't just they just wrap some tin foil around their asses and get on a skateboard.

Tiara, Teeth, Tits
So, the other night I was at my appointed post in the Seafood Case and the Associate Store Team Leader came by, waving.
I remarked on her parade wave, like she was Queen Elizabeth or something.
"It's Tiara, Teeth, Tits, " she told me.
Knowing that she had grown up in Texas, I asked if she'd been in beauty pageants as a teenager.
"No, I just knew a lot of Drag Queens."
