A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

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

That could just be my local Teavana too. They are CRAZY there!

Oh, god, no. They are the WORST upsellers I've ever encountered, bar none. I hate that I'm so addicted to their product and they're right around the corner, because there's no justification to order it online. But, shit, their pitch is relentless. I want to shoot them. Even when I just buy what I went in for, they try and muscle me into buying seven million pounds of it. But I'm glad I did buy the seven million pounds of it, because then I don't have to go in and get their schpiel for yonks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, shit. Another shooting at VA Tech.

I've never tried anything from Teavana. But I'm now addicted to several blends from David's Tea (link goes to one of my favorites).

I don't do a second pour, but I probably should.

And caffeine-wise, I drink a pot of black tea with breakfast, and then 2 cups of coffee with lunch. I am an equal-opportunity caffeine addict.

Why do people call a business and then express reluctance and snarkiness when you ask for the name of their business?

Isn't that information that you'd want your contact to know?

She has signed with a professional cycling team as an able-bodied athlete, and is training to compete in the 2016 Olympics.

That's so cool!

There was a cover story in Outside last month about a South African runner who lost his legs from the knees down when he was an infant. Now he runs on those "cheetah" legs, and he's competing in the regular Olympics, since a study revealed that the reason he's so good isn't the artificial legs, but his own physique. If he had the legs he was born with, he might be even faster.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just had lunch with Javachik and you didn't. Nyah nyah nyah!

Allyson, I highly recommend this book to go with the dinosaur poop. My dad bought it for Dylan last year, and it was a big hit.

Is this the big bang book you got?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I just love the uniforms of Santa’s Little Secret Service/Santa’s Defense Forces....

Those people are the only ones I look forward to seeing at the giant pile o' drunken idiocy that is SantaCon.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is this the big bang book you got?

No, it's different. I'm posting the reviews of the books tonight, I think it's going up on Scientific American. Will link.
