I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hee. juliana, may I tag?

I'd be flattered!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What kind of leather are the Docs?

I don't know. I can't find anything on the shoe that specifies. I see if I can find it online.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

So it was cold and windy here this morning. Of course, that's when the fire alarm went off at work. And it wasn't a drill, so we were out there longer than is comfortable. Ugh.

Brains are easy. Evolutionarily, we're scavengers and omnivores. Brains are spicy and nummy.

Plus, our ancestors no doubt learned from watching the hordes of prehistoric zombies that were responsible for humanity's Uncanny Valley response.

If you were a seven year old girl or a ten year old girl, do you think you would like these as stocking stuffers?

Lee for validation, I got them for my then-14 y.o and then-9 y.o last year and they were a big hit with both genders (plus my 40-something brother loved his set too!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As much as brains squick me, I can't see any people who had to hunt and kill their own food turning up their noses at any part of any animal. Seems more reasonable to put the whole thing over the fire than wrestle with a pineapple or a coconut, actually.

I can't believe there was this whole conversation, and no one brought up coffee!! That's a lot of brouhaha to go through to get through the ultimate deliciousness. At least a pineapple or coconut could have been busted open before someone wandered past it, and then the good stuff is pretty clear.

Much less figuring out that a weasely endproduct is worth brewing!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think because the history of coffee is better documented (at least online) than the history of artichokes. Goats getting high ---> goatherders getting high --> "hey these coffee-balls are kind of nast, what if we just boiled it?" --> Starbucks
