Stinque-en Tax Write Offs

2. Wow, this one came to me from somewhere. May I recommend T&C SPCA, where our Stinquer friend baked spent a lot of her energy and love helping stray beach dogs and cats find forever homes.

@SanFranLefty: i love that idea

Here’s who the RMLs are helping out, this year and for the past several years in addition to the Santa Fe Food Depot:

I’m writing off last year and the thee years before.

If anybody deserves your cash, it’s them.

@Benedick: I’m planning on spending next year dead for tax purposes.

Happy New Year Stinquers.

To friends departed and those still around.

2013 was a much better year for me than 2012.

¡Feliz año nuevo!

明けましておめでとうございます

Jesus H given the tempo at which the National Anthem is being delivered, the Rose Bowl kickoff won’t be until 7:30 pm PST.

/go Tree!

@ManchuCandidate: I’m glad to hear it. May 2014 surpass 2013!

@¡Andrew!: Um…so something awesome is happening today. :-)

We made it to the hostel in Venice Beach. It has, er, character. And smells kinda funky.

@JNOV: Welcome! I recommend wandering over to Santa Monica to spend the day, however.

We’re probably going to hang out in Venice today. We’re tired. Gotta get some groceries and look for Sunny War. Love busking. And I found the car.

ETA: We might go to SM this evening. I like it there, but parking is ridiculous. I might show him where I used to live in Hollywood. We’re just gonna chill.

“Ah, ay ee yeah, want to travel south this year…”

“Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine.”

@Tommmcatt Says Pull My Finger: Oh, and thanks! Yeah. I’ll be getting the hell out of Seattle for at least a week each winter. I haven’t seen full sun in a long time. I love The Marine Layer AKA Low Fog that Burns Off Around 10.

Rut roh–Hitlery has jumped on the Bangs Bandwagon. FSM save us all from their unquenchable, megalomaniacal thirst for power.

@JNOV: Live it up at the Hotel California ; )

@¡Andrew!: :-) Just got back from being majorly lost just looking fo a hamburger.

Those bangs! (Why are they called “bangs” anyway?) I mean, live with you wrinkles or get botox. Those things went out with Moe.

@¡Andrew!: Oh sweet 7 pound 4 ounce baby Jeebus, why the hell did she get bangs?

P.S. Mazel tov, you crazy lovebirds! Way to make Mr. Andrew an honest man.

@JNOV: Ironically–and just to taunt you–Seattle was sunny with not a cloud in the sky today, although there was grumbling from the locals about the “cold” temps in the 40s. I’m sure our Chicago/NY Stinquers would love to have a word with them.

@¡Andrew!: Looks like Bonnie Franklin. A less severe look than the last one.

@Mistress Cynica: Figures.

@Mistress Cynica: Yes. Yes, a word would be nice, particularly in light of the fact that the high here tomorrow is supposed to be -9. The high.

@flippin eck: It’s 5 degrees in Green Bay for the start of the Niners-Packers game.

Right now it’s -14. With a windchill of -35. But at least it’s not snowing for the first day in a week–there’s at least two feet on the ground. You coastal eeelites have no idea how much character-building we Midwesterners have to do every winter.

@flippin eck:
Too cold to snow.

I’m sick for the first time in two years thanks to a coworker who refused to take a day off. The cold air hurts my sinuses so much that it makes me want to scream

@flippin eck: Are you huddling up with the bunnies?

@Dodgerblue: I had to go outside to get their food this morning–that was punishment enough. If you’ve never experienced the feeling of inhaling and having the snot instantly freeze in your nose, you’re missing out.

Meanwhile, that foolhardy Homofascist is off gallivanting at the beach and posting pics to the Book of Faces.

@flippin eck: Here in So Cal we have hot Santa Ana winds and brushfire warnings. Hey, Catt, got any sunscreen?

@flippin eck: They’re calling it “Chiberia.”

I’ve got a bit of a tan. ETA: And a herniated disc and whiplash and a bruise on my right clavicle and possibly a concussion, so, yay!

@Dodgerblue: Shake it Babylon Sister.

Re: Tweet/tagline

NOOO-JOOOO!! *shakes fist at sky*

@flippin eck: You’re welcome!
