Sage also is a comfort scent (though wet creosote is more!)No kidding. How does the desert breed that into us?
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just can't believe we made it through an entire "Who ate the first XXX" discussion and nobody mentioned olives! (Most seemingly odd food preparations can be chalked up to discovering them by accident, but who accidentally soaks something in lye for a week, spends another week soaking off the lye, and then even more time and effort brining it? And then still remembers that they were planning to try eating it?)

So Joe Camel is karmic payback for firewater?And the syph was karmic payback for smallpox. Was it syphilis, I think it was syphilis?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
isn't creosote the stuff that builds up in chimneys?

My friends aren't reading anything into the envelope.
Hell, sarameg, your friends forgot they even got an envelope.
WRT lavendar, my friend K bought me a set of lollipops. They've been okay, most sour fruit flavored, the random spearming (which was like sucking on toothpaste). The purple one, the one I thought was grape? oh no. LAVENDAR. Who the fuck makes a lavendar lollipop and what the fuck is wrong with them?

Aaaah! I am SO GLAD someone brought that up (though kinda going "man, someone brought that up four posts before I got to the end?!?!")
Lobsters freak me out a bit too, but I figure hey, if your'e hungry you'll try eating anything. But things like olives, that require PREPARATION, are what gets me. I mean...sure, you try eating it. You try smoking it and eating it. You try drying it and eating it. But then you GIVE UP!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My take on this whole thing is that we are completely underestimating the kind of time hungry people had on their hands.

Then there's hominy. "Let's drip water through ashes until we have a caustic liquid, then put dried corn in it until the skins come off. Then let's dry the kernals again and grind them up."

My theory on olives is that they fell in the ocean and then someone ate them.
