I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I had the sex talk (or possibly the drug talk?) with my dad when I was like 22 and heading off to spring break in Florida with some friends. (note I had already been off at Uni for two years, then moved back home and was bar tending while going to another school .

"So, um, your mother's talked to you about [awkward pause]?"

"Think we're good, yeah."

"ok, good. Just, um, be careful."

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

I tried on a couple of them, but the daisy rocks really do fit very well, and assume the player has boobs.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yay, Allyson!

Dan and I had amych for most of the day! We got to wander around the NAC and watch people being professionally stabby. People! With swords! Everywhere!

It was awesome! When I went out to loading docks for a smoke, I found out I am apparently the doppelganger to Ali's wife, whoever the hell Ali is. But some Texan fencing product vendor greeted me with "Hey, where's Ali?" Dan was a bit nonplussed, but we rolled with it.

Then a large man with a Middle Eastern accent came out and bitched about how long an epee match took to referee, and another ref came out, and told a story about how a fencer stepped on his toes so hard, twice, that a paramedic had to take a scalpel to his big toe under blood geysered out.

Then amych was done with her sabre matches, which were great fun to watch. I asked lots of questions. Y'all, they're basically ROBOTS WITH SWORDS HOOKED UP TO CYBER LEASHES!!

Then we had real BBQ. She got a plate of short ribs the size of her head. KC BBQ passed muster, though, and I think she's in a BBQ/fencing coma at her hotel now.

It was great! I haven't seen a Buffista in the flesh for years now, and there were SWORDS IN THE BARGAIN. FTW!

BBQ and Sabers! Man, that's better than Hookers and Blow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Peace and strength to Matt and his family.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Pix and ND, I am so sorry. Much ~ma to you, and to Byron in his last days.

Beth, please pass my condolences along to Matt.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oof, that's a little too enthusiastic what with the sad news as well.

I'm sorry, Pix. Sounds like Byron was a boon companion.

I'm sorry Matt. It's a hard loss.

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

I'm sorry about Byron, Pix.
