Hi muffins! Today in my corner of California there are rain clouds in the sky and the temperature has dipped below 90 for the first time this entire smoke-choked summer, and I’m into it. (I may have sung Christmas carols in my car this morning). Is it Fall yet, please?
This week, Molly wrote this really beautiful thing about drinking (or, not drinking).

Count Tabula and The Corn With a Y Award to Katy with a “y” awards made me snort out loud.
Good job QG!
Same on both counts!
Count Tabula – Count Chocula’s lesser-known cousin.
You just know that when they were growing up all Tabula and Chocula heard was “why can’t you be more like your cousin Dracula? He’s world famous”
I was slated to make a Count Tabula Rasa joke, but I’m drawing a blank.
I blame the vampire thought police myself – the CounTabulary who are apparently patrolling my unconscious.
OMG Snaelle I watched Tabula Rasa the night before last, no wonder Tabula came to me so easily when I was trying to think of a vampire name with Tab in it!
…and omg i just got this. (still waking up)
I just knew my lesbian vampire professor would be useful for something!
Fangs to her for stopping Friday from sucking.

Congrats Dr. Caitlin VOODOO PhD.! Gotta say I’m super jealous that you had a lesbian vampire for a teacher but I guess it’s for Tuesday best. I prolly would’ve thrown myself at her if I had one lol
She was so bizarre! Bright red hair and always wore red clothing.
Wooooooow
Cool!
You’ve reminded me…growing up my loudly eccentric bf’s mom was from Transylvania (Romania), was a night person, and had an allergy to garlic (!!! no joke). Imagine a Jewish- Romanian Edina (from Ab Fab) in the art world, with a side helping of daaaarkness.
Hahahaha I love that!
Oh wow I wanna meet your BFs mom
Sounds like my kind of woman!
Carmen SanDiego, Chandra, you live to see another day.
Feel the city breakin’
And ev’rybody shakin’
And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive .
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin’ alive. Stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin’ aliiiiiiiiiiive
I regret my decision now.
There’s room in my bed if you need a place to hide Carmen =^.~=
I love that you really took this week’s Comment Awards title to heart, Kaitlin. You didn’t even need TAB(ula)!
I do my best to make people feel all warm and fuzzy! If not in their chest then in their pants and when you’re talking about Carmen SanDiego it’s easy =^.~=
Oh my!
Well, the best lunch ever just got even BETTER with the added bonus of a comment award! Thanks Queer Girl!
you painted such a happy wholesome picture! <3
Um, maybe you missed my wink emoji, but it was not wholesome at ALL.
You ate out before you… ate out?
Wholefoods TM.
hehe allison I consider queer sex to be incredibly wholesome
Haha well in that case then yes, it was incredibly wholesome :D
#rebrandingwholesome one happy couple at a time
I somehow missed the comment earlier in the week, but just fell out of my chair laughing now. Go Allison, Go!!
:D
Thanks Carmen!
I see what you did there. I like it.
I’m now trying to figure out a tomboy version of Snow White I could put together.
A navy blue short sleeved shirt with a white collar layered over a long sleeved baby blue t-shirt with red stripes, khaki pants and a red baseball cap?
Tomboy Disney Princess Causal Dressy?
We the readers are the 7 dwarves I think.
Maybe I need a nap…
here for this.
OH I am way here for this! Lex I think you’re on to something !!
Trying cast AS staff as Disney characters and edit the outfits to something near their aesthetic or presentation?
Is it clear that I’m thinking of Heather as Snow White?
YES. Only I’d go navy sweater vest over short sleeve baby blue/red striped shirt. And now I want to see all the Disney princesses drawn tomboy style.
Does anyone remember the disagreement between Steve and Brian on The Sarah Silverman program about whether to drink Tab?
