My eenie meenie was either tiger or monkey or puppy. Or lizard. Wasn't aware of the other version. Uhg.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Also a tiger. I never knew it was a euphemism until high school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, I usually go to a place called Shapes on 6th Ave. I think it's on 40th/6th?

Ah, this is where my laziness comes in. No way I'm making a special trip. But I bet there's somewhere around Union Square.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I should get laser treatments.

I will be, shortly. Fair skin, dark hair and Mediterranean blood do not make for a naturally hair-free visage. My dermatologist is estimating it will cost around $1000 to take care of it all.

Shit, now I think we might have been catching a monkey, too. Am confused.

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

do you let him go if he hollers?

Now that you mention it, yes.

Rock paper scissors we learnt from a book -- a USian book. Left to our own devices it'd probably have been jacks, marbles, and shooting things at other things.

We made the tiger pay. Which now thinking about it and accidentally stepping on my cats' feet, is icky. Ah, childhood sullied.

My family was into variety. I'm sorta surprised there wasn't anything more exotic. Afterall, pimentos were lizard tongues, bedtime stories were about rabbits and badgers and aardvarks and hedgehogs.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.

Sorry if I sounded so vehement in that first post. I actually saw the procedure and it freaked me out. But only the part about the guy reaching his entire arm inside the cow to guide the nozzle thingy. I try to buy organic and local but I don't always do that. So I pretty much figure I'm helping support the factory farm system for chickens and livestock. It doesn't always make me proud but I like to eat them.

Rock, Paper Scissors saved my marriage. DH and I use it to decide a lot of minor, pesky chores like dog walking and diaper changes. It's completely fair and there are no grudges over who does what when.
