DELIQUESCE
HUMIDITY HAS CAST A PALL ON THE POOL PARTY.
THAT REALLY SUCKS ABOUT THE BOOKSTORE CLOSING, LOIS. WHAT 'RE YOU GONNA DO?
NO IDEA. BUT I BETTER COME UP WITH SOMETHING SOON OR IT'S GONNA BE DAYCARE BY DEFAULT.
I FELT FINE THROUGH MY FIFTH MONTH, TOO. IT WAS THE LAST FOUR THAT MADE ME WANT TO DIE.
I JUST READ THAT IN NIGERIA, MEN CAN BE STONED TO DEATH FOR HAVING AN AFFAIR NOW TOO, NOT JUST WOMEN.
MEN BEING STONED, WOMEN SUICIDE BOMBERS. MAYBE WE SHOULD RETHINK THAT BUSINESS ABOUT HOW THE ISLAMIC WORLD NEEDS TO ADOPT OUR WESTERN EGALITARIAN IDEALS.
I'M JUST SAYING YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL HOW YOU TALK ABOUT ISRAEL WHEN THERE'S SO MUCH RAMPANT ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE WORLD.
BUT BEING CRITICAL OF ISRAEL DOESN'T MEAN I'M ANTI-SEMITIC.

I'M NOT HOMOPHOBIC, BUT I KNOW THAT GAY ENRON EXEC WAS A GREEDY SWINE.
YEAH, WELL, SAY THAT AT A FOCUS ON THE FAMILY CONVENTION, AND SEE HOW UNHOMOPHOBIC IT SOUNDS. SPEAK THE TRUTH, JUST UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT AND IMPACT OF WHAT YOU SAY.
OKAY. MAYBE SWINE'S KIND OF A STRONG WORD.
FOUR BMW'S? THE MAN'S A PIG.
JASMINE, AREN'T YOU WORRIED ABOUT JONAS RUNNING AROUND IN THAT TUBE TOP LOIS GAVE HIM? EVENTUALLY HE'LL GET TEASED, OR WORSE.
FETIDOS
I WORRY ALL THE TIME .BUT LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS. WHY. KEEP HIM COMPLETELY SAFE IF IT MAKES HIM MISERABLE?
...NO. THEY DO C-SECTIONS HORIZONTALLY, SEE? HOPEFULLY YOU WON'T NEED ONE. I'LL ALWAYS FEEL BAD I DIDN'T GET TO GO THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF LABOR.
DAYCARE FOR TRANSGENDER TODDLERS. I LIKE IT.
ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO KICK THIS LABOR DAY BASH UP A NOTCH? SPARKLERS? "THE INTERNATIONALE" DANCE MIX?
