You guys have your *weight* on your drivers' licenses?? That would freak me out. And also be inconvenient. I'm a medication-induced weight yoyo.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

[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.

Well, yes, but it's self-reported and not checked or updated or anything. Hence the noteworthiness of it actually reflecting reality - for a lot of us the DL is more of "what's the lowest number I can semi-plausibly claim and not feel like shit about" than anything true to life.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, Brenda!
Yay, Fay!

Heh. I can see how that would work. It's how I estimate my weight when asked it by, say, medical professionals. "Oh, I'm about [taking off fifteen pounds for good measure]..."

Ok, so if a movie turns out to be horribly bad, we are allowed to ask for a refund of ticket price. Not that I have ever done that. And I honestly don't know if people actually do get their money back, or it just ends up being a very pointed gesture.
Are we allowed to ask for our copays back and/or refuse to pay a doctor's bill if s/he gives particularly bad service?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I got a refund once when the sound went all wonky...but that was b/o technical error on the cinema's part. I would be surprised if anyone would, but no harm making that pointed request....

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I spotted an ad in one of the morning free papers that someone's doing a study on the effects of a vegan diet on acne. No medications or anything, just the effect of the diet.
I put an almost-accurate weight on my driver's license back when I first moved to DC. In 1974. I also put the color my eyes were with my tinted contact lenses. Can't get them to change either. Also, the picture's several years old (I renewed online last year). If they ever check the description or photo against the real me I'm screwed.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So, this is unexpected: Ryan has acne. I'm not ready for him to be a teenager! He's going to ask me about girls. What do I know about girls?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You made a baby--you know a LOT about girls.
The baby acne is totally an annoying if normal event. We called Owen Bumpy for a week or so. Stupid, immature sebaceous glands.
