Though my favorite is meeting people who just presume that everybody who lives in a city is likely to be murderized the second they walk out the door. "I would never live in a city!"
So my SiL. It is annoying as hell.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

One of the LJ spotlights this week is glittercupcakes. Anyone else think that Jilli should make an appearance? I'm so amused by their cute little girly cupcake squees!
Heee! Oh dear, I may lose some time to reading through that community.
blushes furiously at Fay's comments
Also, Jilli and Pete got me addicted to Mighty Leaf Tea (they are eeevil), and right now I'm having a blend of Chocolate Chip Truffle and Vanilla Bean black tea.
Mmmm. I think I need to order more tea soon, because I'm starting to run low on my chocolate rose mixture.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I hate the Big City = Imminent Death thing too. Once someone who lived in a suburb of San Francisco said to me, "You walk to the 24th and Mission St. BART Station? There are all those scary people and drug dealers there!
Wanker. Or rather, wankette in this case....

I watched some NASCAR this past weekend solely on the strength of an SGA fic called "Fireball." That's some serious cultural stretching. Though I'm always fascinated by the different set of commercials you see on sports than with everything else.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Nascar has some seriously funny commercials. The rest are an interesting look at what advertisers think comprises their audience, but the ones with drivers and such in them tend to amuse me far more than even Superbowl ads.
I started reading that and lost the link. I should find that story again and finish reading it.

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

And by amuse she means porn.
She really does.

Because books.
When we lived in Wyoming for a year (SMALL town Wyming, like 2,500 people), everyone who heard we had lived and worked in NYC was appalled. Did we have to carry guns on the subway? How many times had we been mugged? (Um, never.) Didn't we hate living where everyone was so rude?
This from people who routinely had gun-racks in their pickups, you understand.

I didn't mean to kill the thread. We liked Wyoming (mostly)! It was just a little hard for two kids from Jersey to adapt.
