Hmmmm. Just snoped the phrase, and it comes back with nothing at all. Now I'm curious. But water flooding sounds way more real to me, somehow.
I sent my first of two packages Priority Mail yesterday. Here's hoping.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

What is even happening?
I think water rising is probably the genesis for it, too. Either the coiner was trying to sound folksy or make a pun, or he learned it from folks.

Always Anti-fascist!
I could definitely see an uprising in my future. But it's like a birthday wish. If you tell, it won't come true.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Perhaps you can leave the fomenting to Anabel, you know, in her quest for world domination.
She's well on her way, with her impressive crawling abilities and attempts to pull up!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The Creek rising couldn've been a topical joke at the time -- much like "if you don't do blah blah, then the terrorists have won" is today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I mailed off music to Kate P. and Katefate yesterday. And my signed book to Heather. All went out overnight so they should be arriving today, if the Creek don't rise or the terrorists don't win.

Oh yeah, I was distracted by all the Creek talk -- I finally mailed out the gift to my Santee today. Apologies, blahblahtardycakes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I finally sent my Secret Santa gift off today. The magical machine in the post office lobby that allows me to mail packages without waiting in line (how great is that?) told me it should be there by Thursday, I don't know if I believe it.
And I received my most excellent Secret santa gift from Lee days and days ago - sorry for making you worry! It made it here in good time and I love it! Lushy goodness - glitter, and dusting powder that I;d been wanting to try, and, look, more glitter! And penguins! And super dark chocolate, my favorite! Yay!
It came right when I was feeling kinda meh on the holiday season (and, needless to say, cheered me right up!) - this is the first Christmas I'm intentionally not celebrating, and it's weird. I've not celebrated before, because I was working or too broke or otherwise didn't feel like it, but this year I'm not celebrating because I Don't Celebrate Christmas and that's...strange. So I'm very glad that I decided to allow myself Buffista Xmassy fun!
