Good thing Jesse clarified. Because I really thought you were talking about this sorrel, ita. [link] Although it's culinary so it's not like people don't ever eat it.
Mal: You know, you ain't quite right. River: It's the popular theory.

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

Huh. I would think they'd be all over you, assuming that you're an extra big score for Jesus.
Apparently I am too scary to approach. Which is hysterical, considering no one, ever, thinks I'm scary or dangerous.
Instead, I get very earnest teens asking me how to become a witch. I point them at my psuedo-sibling, who is a Big Deal in the local Wiccan community. I suspect this is not the answer the Very Earnest Teens are hoping for.

I did spend one plane ride next to a guy who tried to tell me about Jesus, but I gave him a look and he subsided.
A guy I knew, when asked by a stranger if he had accepted Jesus as his lord and savior, replied, "No, but I'm tolerant of those who have."

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'M TOTALLY USING THIS!
My purple hair has been a good experience for me. It's interesting to see how people who already know me react. And the people who don't. I get lots of good feedback. I got stopped in a gas station by an older, bearded guy in coveralls who told me he loved it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
A guy I knew, when asked by a stranger if he had accepted Jesus as his lord and savior, replied, "No, but I'm tolerant of those who have."
I am committing this to memory. I did have one awful flight where a woman was worried about my soul and I tried so hard to both be nice and have the conversation end. I ended up failing on both counts. It was years and years and years ago but it was really stressful.
I have no idea what to get Nephlet. Where does one buy a clue for a fourteen year old boy? Because that's what he desperately needs. And I don't know how to wrap that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A guy I knew, when asked by a stranger if he had accepted Jesus as his lord and savior, replied, "No, but I'm tolerant of those who have."
I think I'm gonna try "Well, I've pledged my immortal soul to Satan, but it's OK with him if I see other deities."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Uh, sorry in advance if I did, bon. Because I am gonna make you drink this.
ita makes me laugh.

I wonder when the next Onerous Task day is? I *still* haven't dealt with FastMac about the defective Mac battery I discovered last October...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had a friend in college who was very surprised to find out, junior year, that Jews don't believe in Jesus. And she was from the US.
I've been having the same conversation about this with one co-worker for years now. "So what is your family doing for Christmas?" "Oh, we're Jewish." "<blank stare>" "So we don't celebrate Christmas." "You mean, not at all?" "No." "Not even for the kids???"
And she's from New Jersey. Some people just really, really, don't get the concept of non-Christians.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that's part of the joke.
tommy gets it in one. The other usual description for it is "Twilight isn't that bad" apparently, but that's nowhere near as amusing to me.
And, fuck, my internet is acting wonky. I need this for work.
