You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Now tagless for your comfort.

So Cashmere, you're saying you don't do dairy then?

No, I do dairy. I love cheese. I just realize it's probably coming from disgruntled cattle.

Kat, I think so. That was the cheese in foil. Mushroom and garlic and green onion and bacon and veggie and ...more varieties than I could count. I miss that. I ate the other stuff anyway, because Edam!! YUM.

If I ever come down with some bizarre condition, I'll blame it on drinking the water in Prague and eating the cheese. And the inversion.

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

I'd do threaded, but I'm addicted to Fred Segal, and I don't think they offer it.

How do they do it in Jamaica?

Like America, I think. "One potato, two potato" comes to mind first. We also do eenie meenie, but there are no niggers ingolved, unsurprisingly.

I just realize it's probably coming from disgruntled cattle.

Yeah. I'm thinking most livestock is not part of Team Happy. A magazine I worked on in college was filled with radical feminists who told me that dairy was a feminist issue since they were raping cows to keep them producing milk.

I was all, "Well. I love cheese and milk."

That was the last time I did work for them.

I'm blaming Almaty for that or Kiev. I loved being told not to eat unusually large veggies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I want la vache qui rit now, too. Ah well.

I also dispute that cows in California are any happier than cows in Vermont. Vermont is very nice!

Where do you go for the threading, OtherKate?

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out

Kat, I'm a total baby, so I think it hurts. But it's over so quickly that it doesn't really bother me. I have a few other friends who also get their eyebrows threaded and they don't think it hurts. It's kind of like really rapid tweezing. I think it hurts less than waxing and my skin doesn't stay red as long (I have really sensitive skin). I've seen a woman getting her whole face threaded and a friend of mine got her upper lip done.

wait, what? What about eenie meenie?

I find chapeau to be hugely strange yet oddly endearing.

What's the whole chant for one potato?

Oh yeah, we never had any niggers in our eenie meenie. We had a tiger. But now I see that was just PC-ification.

TAR: DAMNIT. The monsters are still in the race.

See, tweezing is way more painful for me than waxing. Like an order of magnitude. I too have sensitive skin and after waxing, I look like some sort of fire victim.

I should get laser treatments.
