Welcome back E/O, leagl and Fringey: no one say the name "Penske" 3 times in a row

It looks like the board may have moved on from discussing ABBA/McDouche for the moment, but I just have to say this:

He may say that he loves you, and he may even think that he loves you, but it is not love that is leading him to stalk and harrass you, it is a desire for control. We've had a bad rash of domestic violence murders and attempts in our area recently (like, 8 in a month), and an article today appeared in the paper today about how restraining order can be helpful in heading things off. I think a restraining order would *not* be a bad idea.

I've always blamed my inability to write the great American novel on my parents' long and happy marriage. Do you know how hard it is to have to go out and collect all of your own traumas? By the time you're done, you don't even feel like writing about it anymore because you're old and busted like Thurgreed.

Word to that, Motherfucker.

this is so fucking cool.

Keep in mind your comparative entry uses the same limited set of neurons for mouth-breathing, defecating and posting. Flower doesn't have to do much to top that.

Anyway, I find it interesting that I am being told both that "people change" and that my douchebag ex won't.

Honestly, I don't think he is capable of a relationship. I think his character is fatally flawed and he may even be a sociopath, because no one in their right mind would cheat on me and tell me they were leaving me when I was pregnant at their request for a 21-year-old who lives with her parents and cannot hold a candle to me in any aspect of life whatsoever. And this is not merely my biased opinion.

That said, I cannot simply get him out of my life because he is my daughter's father. So I feel very trapped.

And the line on them getting back together just went into negative territory.

So that's why she thought you were marriage material.

I'd respond to this, but I refuse to wonk on your wonk.

"Johnson"? Are you going to fix the cable?

England, Algeria and Slovenia. Could have been far worse.

True. Germany looming in second round.

A plausible explanation of how a belief in vampires came about, at least under Eastern Mediterranean burial practices. I don't know whether Scandinavian or British or French burial practices made similar discoveries of "alive" dead people less likely so there wasn't as much of a mythos there. Maybe mass graves were less common, or shrouding was déclassé. It sure as hell wasn't because British oral hygiene was best-in-class.

This was my favorite part:

"Vampires don't exist, but studies show people at the time believed they did," said Matteo Borrini, a forensic archaeologist and anthropologist at Florence University who studied the case over the past two years.

I prefer Gamera. The Gamera episodes on MST3K are my favorites, with the possible exception of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

If this is actually true, I don't know how you could possibly have the time to hold down a job.

He must be limiting it to the subgroup of those foolish enough to request an assessment of looks from TM.
