Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I give you pom-poms!

In my font, that reads very close to porn porns. Which I will wish to Perkins instead.

do you like Starbuck's orange/mango Vivano smoothie?

I have not had it. My mango smoothie of choice is currently the Mahalo at Robek's. Nicely tasty (but not as good as their Cardio Cooler with whey instead of soy--that stuff is crack).

See also: papaya, pineapple, guava, avocado

I don't like papaya, so I'm safe there. I crave pineapple these days, so even though it's not like what we grew in our backyard, I gotta do it. Pineapple flavour is wholly disappointing. Guavas...it's never even occurred to me to buy here. And avocado--most of the stuff in stores here isn't the same variety as what we have in Jamaica, I don't think.

Huh. Googling tells me avocados were first cultivated in Jamaica. Interesting.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I`m terrible about pineapple. I don`t even buy pineapple in Hawaii; I only want the ones my grandmother was famous for growing in her yard. But seeing as how she`s been gone many years now, and the property in question sold, also years ago, it looks like my prospects for ever eating pineapple again are slim. Sad.

Because books.

The peanut butter worked! Thank you, P-C! I had forgotten all about that in the face of six-year-old tears.

I love mangoes, but I have none. We didn't eat them for a long time growing up, even though we had a tree in our backyard in Florida, because my brother was allergic.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yay Perkins! In celebration, my boobs will attempt to cheerlead, thus: *\\(.)(.)/*

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

LOVE!

That goes for the rest of you all, too

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I feel lucky I have lower standards for tropical fruit. Even though I know that tropical and sub-tropical fruit I grow here in CA won't get the heat (and sometimes humidity) it needs to develop peak flavor, I'm still excited to be able to grow it.

I'm a member of the CA Rare Fruit Growers and I know some of our members have reported sighting very good imported mangoes but I think you have to really have an eye for the different varieties to spot it. I came to mangoes late in life because the first couple I had must have been unripe and there's little I hate more than that astringency you get from unripe mangoes/bananas/persimmons.

amych, that boobcheer is killing me! Hahaha!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Three cheers for Encyclopedia Brown!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kat, I forgot to say how great that big CA Donors Choose donor is! Good times. I was trying to explain DC to a coworker, and she was like, "So, it's like, I want to take my class on this awesome field trip?" I said, "Yeah, some of the time....or they just need books."

The boobcheer is like unto porn poms.

I paced my drinks poorly today. Everything I have is mango. That's a little heavy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Great news Perkins!
