shrift, would you hate me if I asked what you thought of last week's SPN? I am curious.
I would ask in thread, but I haven't seen you there lately.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

You know what I've disgustingly learned? Some people have neti pots. The pool serves the same purpose. Difference in my congestion between tonight and last is amazing.
I'd apologize to my fellow swimmers, but I figure they are peeing in the pool.

The lipo thing is right - it's not like human fat is remotely scarce.
I'm trying to remember the percentage you're supposed to add to figure actual unemployment. Drawing a blank. Hey, it was almost 20 years ago I learned it.
I don't think it's a static number, though more so than current unemployment. Right now, for instance, I'd guess there's a much higher proportion of people underemployed or having left the market than normal.

ita, where do you stand on sweet and spicy together? (I ask, as I sprinkle cayenne on my mango sorbet.)

Yeah, I think this was based on the Depression, but an average.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't mind sweet and spicy as a premise. Depends where it happens--Indian tamarind balls with black pepper are gross. But I love jalapenos and chocolate, for instance.

I actually haven't seen the two latest episodes yet, and that's why I haven't been in the thread!
There are 20 or 30 completely overdressed hipster teens in the alley behind my building. They seem to be congregating there aimlessly, and have given me dirty looks for standing on my back porch to smoke because I'm, like, some stupid bitch who might call the cops. I'm almost tempted to call the cops because I'm concerned they don't understand that they're completely overdressed and in Uptown. Kids these days.
However, 30 Hipsters in the Alley could make an excellent band name.

I wonder why there's that comparatively better off swatch in the Intermountain West. Farmers?

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
Unemployment in MA apparently went down last month, but I always wonder if that's because of people leaving the work force, not getting jobs.
I think running out of unemployment benefits can also knock you out of the statistic.
