Okay, so I fell into this site while looking for an old cartoon. (The one where the Pink Panther and all the animals chase a bone???) How on earth did I wind up here? I've no idea.

I saw that cartoon query about the guy, the pot, and the mattress. It's already way past my bedtime so I didn't read all there was to read to see if this had been answered, but my guess would be that the little man has "ironed" out the dents in the pot as men once flattened their pants under their mattresses while they were sleeping. Very loose reference, and none too funny, but there you have it.

"What the hell's a "boffin"?"

a) One of the gentry families of Shire (with a capital B).
b) WWII-era British slang term for scientist; boffins are the chaps wearing laboratory coats and thick glasses, thinking up ways to beat the Germans back and end this whole unpleasantness.

STFU: "Shut The Friendly-Ghost Up"
(edited so I don't look like I'm being a cheney)

A quote from Blood Canticle, by Anne Rice:

"I'm the Vampire Lestat, the most potent and loveable vampire ever created, a supernatural knockout, two hundred years old but fixed forever in the form of a twenty year old male with features and figure you'd die for-and just might. I'm endlessly resourceful, and undeniably charming. Death, disease, time, gravity, they mean nothing to me.
Only two things are my enemy: daylight because it renders me completely lifeless and vulnerable to the burning rays of the sun, and conscience. In other words, I'm a condemned inhabitant of eternal night and an eternally tormented blood-sucker.
Doesn't that make me sound irrisistible?"

Jesus. JESUS. Unless that's supposed to make us laugh, and I'm pretty sure it's not, there's something terribly wrong here.

I did NOT buy this. I took it from a rant somebody made on how Anne has slowly become a Gonterman of the literary world (not in those exact words.)

Nerd question: what does STFU mean? I can usually figure out these internet abbreviations, but that one stumps me.

I took DaddyDear to see Batman Begins. Now he won't quit reciting lines from the movie.

Sometimes I love my family, and sometimes they make me wish I could carve out my genes with a knife.

I'm not sure which I want right now.
