Unusual Suspects
Are the dogs made to be addicted to drugs? That doesn't sound right. As far as I've heard, they are trained to sniff out particular odors, and love to work--you don't have to feed bits of a cadaver to a cadaver dog, thankfully...— November 6, 2009 9:31 a.m.

Re: #8: That sounds like good blogging material, Joe. Ever think about writing about your dad's life now?— November 6, 2009 9:08 a.m.
A Good Little Girl, Catholic Variety
Re: #5: Love it. Thank you for that ;) Cuddle, your house growing up sounds like an amazing film set-- with beautiful imagery: "fresh flowers in a vase, and devotional candles flickering, at her feet." ...and all of your described events sound very much like a cool Indie film on Catholic childhood.

The Sordid, Grisly Details
Re: #7: "Daniels, to be honest, I don't think I'd like a man who always did the dishes." Don't knock it till you've tried it, Cuddle. This kind of thoughtful behavior in a mate can be suggestive of other good, non-necessarily gendered traits, such as being emotionally supportive and a good dependable nursey. Besides, I bet Clay used to like doing his own dishes. :)— November 6, 2009 8:23 a.m.
This Is It! (Again)
re: #7: They want us to sign up to look :( I hate signing up. Hey, AG, is your avatar now a depiction of Olivia, splayed out after a dish of cream? :)— November 6, 2009 8:10 a.m.
None
I feel a blog coming on...:)— November 6, 2009 8:08 a.m.
I Actually Wanted To Have The Runner-Up Be The Winner And Vice-Versa, But There Was So Very Little To Say About The Runner-Up (Beyond It's Obvious Awesomeness) That I Have Reversed Their Roles. Everybody Will Deal Just Fine, Thank You Very Much!

A Fear of Cold and Dark
"... more often to works dealing with the truly horrible ways we can misunderstand each other, abuse each other, or the inexplicable kind of evil that seems endemic to our world. It is this last that will send me for metaphoric and spiritual cover..." Borne out by recent, tragic events of human misunderstanding, to be sure. ...I remain a staunch Poe and a Hoffmann fan. One spooky fall semester, I taught both, including "The Sandman" and the versions of "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" in the first course of my devising--"Mesmerism and the Literary Imagination." Needless to say, it was a popular course for this time of year! We also covered Hawthorne, who can creep out with the best of them, Hitchcock (39 Steps), and Werner Herzog's film "Herz au glas," in which all actors were under hypnotic influence for the entirety of the filming. The result is an odd prophetic cadence in the voice, and an underlying tension that is all the more menacing for its dreaminess, and unpredictable openness to the unconscious. Glad to see you back, in any state of dress or undress, Mr. Brizz! :)— November 6, 2009 8 a.m.
Banker's Hill/Mercy Outpatient
Ahhh. Bet yellow makes you feel sick, then! I feel the same way about sickly Pepto-Dismal pink. Remember them trying to get that s*** down your gullet?— November 6, 2009 7:48 a.m.
SDGE Lobbyist Said to be Innocent, Reinstated
Re: #158: Exactly what he said, Mr. Bauder. Also, don't trouble yourself, but if you have any juice? I like it with a little splash of sparkly--whatever sparkles, sure. :)— November 6, 2009 7:39 a.m.
