Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My home town is 50.7% white, which is very different from when I lived there.

The town I live in now could give tommyrot's a run for it, 94.7% white.

My zip code:

White population: 11008
Black population: 53699
American Indian population: 129
Asian population: 276
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population: 24
Some other race population: 379
Two or more races population: 843

But that's old data, 2000. There's been a huge influx of hispanic folk, likely displacing the "white" immigrant population, which was largely russian/ukrainian jews. They are moving more toward suburbia. There are only 10K more people in my zip code than in my home town. This, I find funny.

How does this article not make a play on Pinball Wizard?

It's a total gimme.

Kids these days. My boss and I were commiserating today when our IT guy didn't recognize Rock Me Amadeus. Looked at her like she was craxy when she started singing it.

Median age in the town where I live is 23.1. I think I'll just sit here and feel old for awhile.

You know what? I'll bet the movie of the Constant Gardner doesn't (ita, do not read the whitefont) include Tessa being murdered as the prime motivator?

I could be wrong, but I just don't recognize it from the trailers.

Whitefont with my name on? How cruel.

Well, you could read the synopsis on the back of the book, I just thought I'd keep you as pristine as possible. It should go out tomorrow, btw. When do you leave for Africa?
