Happy International Women's Day!

Here's a lovely way to celebrate.

Do you think that guy is ever going to get laid, ever ever again, for the rest of his life? Sadly, he probably will. *sigh*

Dude, I know you're young and all, but hear me out on this one: if you're so intent on not knocking someone up, you do have several birth control options you're free to exercise, all of which are cheaper than $500/month child support payments.

I'm just amazed by the stupidity I've witnessed in the news today, when you take that dork into consideration with the three church-burning morons.

Couple these incidents, along with some things I've been pondering over the past week and a half involving some people in my life, and I really wonder whatever happened to personal responsibility.

Anyway ...

Call me an old cynic, but unless the person you're screwing gives you proof that they are lacking either a uterus or testicles, it's wise to assume there's at least some chance a pregnancy might occur. I'm sure the friend of mine who was recently impregnated by her twice-vasectamied spouse might agree.

Hello. My name is Robin. In September, 2002, my uterus was trying to fall out. Not condusive to baby-making. By the way, have you met my daughter?

If his ex-girlfriend, did indeed "trick" him into fathering a child, shame on her for making it that much more difficult for women who are dealing with deadbeat-dad situations.

I'm just sick to death of people not learning how to be responsible, or being unwilling to be responsible for themselves and their actions.

Yeah, it's been that kind of day around here. Clara Jane and I didn't leave the house, and I've had entirely too much time to do laundry and ponder the human condition. I've come to the conclusion that some people could really use a trip through the spin cycle to knock some sense into them.

It's also, apparently, Be Nasty Day, according to my new favorite crafty site, The AntiCraft. Blargh.

You know I rarely do memes. Well, today I'm making an exception. I'm cranky, and I've got no real material, since nobody in my house has bothered to projectile vomit or shit on the floor today. Ingrates. So, I'm borrowing this from my friend Dixie, and I know she won't mind if I forget to return it.

Pick a musical group. Answer the questions with a song title from that group.

Since Dixie made a point of going beyond the usual suspects, I'm going to leave it to fate. I just brought up iTunes, and shuffled. Lo and behold, the first band to shuffle up? The Replacements. I couldn't have picked better myself. Except most of you probably won't get the connections, because we 'Mats fans? We're a small little cluster of music geeks. So be it. I know at least three readers who'll get it.

1. Are you male or female? I could say I'm Androngynous, but my boobs are too big for that. So let's just say I'm Another Girl, Another Planet.
2. Describe yourself: Left of the Dial
3. How do some people feel about you? Darlin' One. Hey, it said some people, not all people.
4. How do you feel about yourself? Achin' to Be
5. Describe current relationship with boyfriend/girlfriend: Can't Hardly Wait
6. Describe where you want to be: Happy Town
7. Describe how you live: I Will Dare
8. Describe how you love: One Wink at a Time
9. What would you ask for if you had just one wish? Beer for Breakfast
10. Share a few words of wisdom: Kids Don't Follow
11. Now say goodbye: Take Me Down to the Hospital

This is an interesting one. I only post the quizzes when the answers amuse me, but I tend to like a lot of memes.

I'll put something on my blog, too, but here interested people will read it.

I hereby publicly and formally apologize for talking Poppy's ear off at coffee and keeping her from writing, and, thusly, making her book publication be that much later.

Is it pronounced "meeeeeem" or "mehm" or "meemee"?

I never really knew and was afraid to ask. No more!

Brilliant! And I love that you not only went beyond the ordinary, you upped the ante and let fate pick your band. Pure genius!

Oh. And Webster's says meme is pronounced "mEm" which I believe translates to "meeeeem".
