Hopefully she just ran off. I fear that she took an inebriated swim.

I used to work for the CIA.

I heard Rush yesterday talking about all the ways the CIA was used to spy on the Goldwater campaign and their staff. I did not know any of it. Which just goes to show how bad the teaching of history is today.

Which is the greatest exigence-
Slumber or concupiscence?
My back is sore-- my eyelids lead.
I plan to sleep just like the dead.
My dear, although I love coitus,
First things first, let's have some quietus.

so you're not going to ask 'what?' allowing me to say 'a flame about this high.'? I guess it's kind of lame without the visual of holding my hand out three feet above ground level and all, but still....
