Today’s open thread is hosted by Sassy the Movie Star.
Sassy is the artistic fruit of my friend, Jill Pariseault, who’s pushing 30. Good job, Jill.
What’s happening out there?

Ooo, ooo, ooo, I got something new going on. Or rather, I want to direct readers to the Squat! Birth Journal & its blog. They are looking for contributers. I'm donating some of my own writing. I love they do their work from an anti-oppression platform!
There was some sort of tickling situation going on just now btw me & the husband & the oldest (a boy) and the youngest (queen super baby.) My son (9) said, it's your oldest and youngest! and my husband said, you mean last! and then 9yo said, "why, are you taking those things that make you not able to have a baby?"
So we've gotten to a point where my son apparently knows about birth control pills and I need to man up and suss out what all he's learned on the tough suburban streets and what sort of info I need to clear up.
Wish me luck.
Kelly, thanks!
I just went to your Twitter page and read "soft Corinthian leather." Let the dreams about Ricardo Montalban begin.
A dollar to anyone who can remember the name of the car in the spoof commercial on SNL. I'm spacing out. "It is as good a car as I am an actor."
FoxyKate, kids are such eavesdroppers. Good luck with that.
Hey you (yes, YOU at the computer). If you've found the information on this website helpful, why not use that little button in the upper left-hand corner to give Jill a tip. I've heard that it takes a LOT of liquor to keep this thing going, and that stuff don't buy itself.

Dana, we call it "coffee." Please use the code word.
I heart you. :)
The SNL ad is going to drive me nuts. I just texted someone who also has almost four decades of completely useless trivia, so we'll see if he can remember.
Volare.
Rich Corinthian pleather.
OK, I can rest now.
1) Not pleased with this stage of my sinus infection, but I know it's near the end now.
2) My computer is back and working! Huzzah!
Jill, is this the car, the Corrida?
ANaturalAdvocate,
It was the Volare. I was also just reminded that Sam Malone had to trade in the Corvette for a Volare and everyone yelled "Volare!" when he walked in.
Did you know you linked to the Bass-o-matic? I'm not complaining.
Kind of weird... I just brushed out my hair awhile ago for no particular reason and I looked like Roseanne Rosannadanna, so we might as well just keep this theme going.
Dangit. No, I meant to link to this. LINKFAIL. I blame it on the drugs. LEGAL.
OMG. I can't wait to tell him that he was wrong!
And. duh, why would they use the name of a real car in a spoof?
Thanks, ANaturalAdvocate. Glad you're computer is back. Sorry about your nasal grossness.
My Googling is impeccable. My linkage? Not so much. ;)
Make him buy you a coffee. Or a "coffee."
Is anyone going to the ICAN Conference in St. Louis in April?
Now I have a gypsy kings song in my head and I don't even know if "Volare" is the word that they are singing.
In other wrong lyrics news, my apparently-sex-educated 9 year old thought that "more than a feeling" was "born on a freeway."
I am not going to the ICAN conference in St. Louis in April.
Earlier today I commented on a blog on the NY times and the author replied and that made me pleased.
Now I'm just procrastinating homework. Usually I putz around elsewhere but OH HO HO, ladies. Pass me some coffee!
I wish I could say that a 5 year old just drew this whole thing, but she only drew the tongue and the board shorts. The rest is my genius.
ICAN Conference (should have linked it before)
See you there if you're going.
Hey, folks. I need some "coffee" here. Just went clothes shopping with my two boys. Ack.
But, it wasn't as emotionally damaging as reading some random comment sections today. Seriously, I may need to bleach part of my brain.
I am still LOLing at this. Sadly my drawing skills have not improved much. Our little comic strip is going to be quite a travesty.
Jill, I'm pretty sure that, like a lot of things, it's about 10 times more clever and 50 times funnier in our heads.
