I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

A salad shooter, like, cuts things up, doesn't it? Kind of like a potato gun.

You can't kill salad by shooting it, that's what the crisper in the frig is for.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like a salad spinner and/or shooter, please.

Oh, in other domestic news, how do you clean one of those anti-lint glove thingy-doos? I can't get the lint off without getting it on to something else.

ION, we had a trouble ticket at work that said a user's PC was making a grinding noise followed by a beep. My immediate thought was "that sounds like a pager in the desk drawer."

Bwah!

Ok, people, don't force me to filk the badgers song using 'salad', 'spinner' and 'shooter'.

Kalshane, I passed that on to our IT guy, and got this in response:

At my last company, I flew to Dallas and removed a small rodent from inside a dell computer that was jamming a blower fan. The property manager reported it to me as a pink "wire" hanging from the fan, it was in fact the rat's tail.

Our wings are not tired.

Jesse - I'll send you my spinner. Really. It was very nice, but I don't use it.

With the cheap gardner's glove I use to remove cathair, I just wash it. It's covered with sticky rubber nubbies.

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

That probably came across more assholish than intended since I was playing rhetoric match.

It did. And you can talk shit, it's not like my bristle is some magic spell to stop you.

I am eating salad which has not been shot.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I was actually just reading a bunch of articles/posts theorizing about the "What's Wrong With Kansas" idea- that people will vote against their immediate interests as far as health care and economic issues in favor of "strong moral values."

A theory goes like this:

We're forever taught the American "by their bootstraps" myth. And people connect that with "personal responsibility." In addition, many of the red states, particularly the rural areas are depressed economically and suffer from a sort of social low self-esteem.

Being "morally superior" people is a way of regaining pride, and in fact, accepting government help is not taking responsibility for the situation you are in.
