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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Alas, like Doo Dads, they are no longer made. I suspect the Keebler elves put a curse on Nabisco execs to make them stop production on their tastiest snacks.

Nonsense, they were just superceded by the best snack cracker evah! That would be Better Cheddars.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went to Barnes and Noble in Georgetown and got a copy of Vampire People. Read the first few chapters, and squeeing a lot. (And having a bit of a "Eeek! My idiotic typo was preserved for eternity!" in the Random Acts of Paypal chapter.) (I never think anyone else's typos are stupid. My own, though, are clearly proof that I am not yet fit to interact via text.)

Our wings are not tired.

I never thing anyone else's typos are stupid.

Really, it is with love that I quote this.

Today I also discovered Trader Joe's soy yogurt, which is awesome. And the strawberry one isn't that freaky bright pink that strawberry yogurt so often is.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I really need to put all of these posts in a scrapbook.

Need to buy a new printer.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I've finished about 70 pages (I'm mainlining reading straight through) and can honestly say I wish I had the cash to buy 20 copies for my family and non-internet friends. It's freakin' incredible.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, fuck it. I forgot that even my good screwdriver somehow disappeared in the midst of the Great IKEA Assembly of Aught-Seven, so I just threw the fucking A/C in the window. Per usual, apparently surprisingly sturdy in there.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hil, have you tried the almond chocolate milk at TJs? It is SO GOOD.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

so I just threw the fucking A/C in the window

For just a moment, I read this as "OUT the window," and completely agreed with the frustration, but thought it was a little extreme.
