TBQ's tip of the day

Before I go to bed tonight, I wanted to take a moment to do the responsible thing by making a public service announcement that, in spite of how much you may dearly want to, you do not want to put soap dye anywhere near, on, or around your eyeballs.

Now I know what you're saying: "But, TBQ," you're saying, "clearly all the cool kids are doing this." and to that I reply: Tough. You must be strong. You must set the standard and say to yourself that you are not going to follow the herd. You are going to be a trend-setter and completely avoid the whole soap dye/eyeball issue. I know it will be hard but you must struggle against this temptation and give it a miss. Say prayers if you must, possibly take up obsessive lollipop sucking if you're lacking something to do with your hands that involves then sticking objects which you are holding somewhere near your face, but do not, I repeat not attempt the soap dye/eyeball combination.

Just trust me on this.

Pet, Part Twelve

( Pet, Part Twelve, in which yet again I incorrectly guess at how long it's going to be before I get to a certain scene but on the other hand there's Angel, Wes, and that vacation house and various bits of fun therein. So why wait? )

Things I have learned today

Today I have learned:

1) No matter how much I might enjoy the finished product there is nothing more boring than watching candle wax melt.

2) SUV companies have now gone so far past the point of even trying to pretend that they're not evil that they are now doing TV commercials which suggest that if you don't buy the right SUV it will turn your infant son gay. [ETA: See comments for description of the commercial]

3) Fortune cookies exist only in an ironic definition of the term.

4) Contrary to what you might think, the answer to the question "What will ESPN2 never sink so low as to show?" is not, apparently, "Scrabble tournaments."

I feel I've grown as a person for knowing all this.
