“Not dead yet!”

I need brain bleach. Wandering through the cafeteria, I just saw a woman dressed in black "wet-look" leggings (so, high-gloss spandex), a cream/khaki thigh-length sweater (which I think had sequin details), and a pair of those open-toe high-heeled "boots"

1987 called.

They want their look back.

Please, to keep it under lock and key lest it escape again.

(I'm envisioning large, over-permed hair with bangs sprayed straight up completing this "outfit.")

Even back in the 80's we were smart enough to have toes in our boots.

True dat, but even then, the high-heeled gladiator sandal/boot thing was trying to rear its ugly head.

Yes, but we fought the power and WON.

Nope, aggressively flat-ironed hair.

YES. YES WE WERE. And occasionally more buckles on the boots than toes.

Trust my rage

the high-heeled gladiator sandal/boot thing was trying to rear its ugly head.

Is this look popular here, now? It was huge in PR before we left but (thankfully) I haven't seen it around in Colorado.

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

There are vegan marshmallows which are kosher.

There are also kosher marshmallows made with fish gelatin.

The eighties look I keep seeing is short denim shorts over bright-colored tights. I think I wore that when I was nine or ten.

So they are already digging new holes in my recently repaved street. Jackhammers. Oy.

The city didn't pick up anyone's leaves. My trashmen are stupid.

I'm going to the pool.

You have got to be kidding me. Westboro Baptist protested at the Obama girls' school. [link] (Well, older kids and younger kids are on different campuses, and I think that looks like the fifth grade through high school campus, so just Malia's school.)

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

Westboro Baptist protested at the Obama girls' school.

Are they the ones that said the Obama children are the "spawns of Satan" or something? (I saw a headline but didn't read.)
