A colleague of mine has a story that while at some kind of music festival or something, he was to perform with Dr. Rice and realized he didn't have an unwrinkled shirt to wear. She offered to iron his shirt for him. When he went up to her room and talked to her as she ironed (this was between the two Bush presidencies) he asked, IIRC, about whether or not she learned while she worked in intelligence about the existence of extraterrestrials. She said something like, "I can't talk about that, but I can tell you that the military is obsessed with it!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OMG. I must get some of the sparkly spatulas. Not for *me*, but for my best friend who is anti-glitter. (She's my best friend, but we do not hug ever since she realized I transmit glitter. I must get her sparkly kitchen tools.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
BIZARRE!
My guess, Dr. Rice is an extraterrestrial. It would explain so much.

Oh! At the house where the video was being filmed, a fish died. Which, you know, I'm heartless and cruel and shrug, and it's not like band killed it or anything. But it was a seven thousand dollar fish. Why? How? What sort? I was to flabbergasted to ask.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My guess, Dr. Rice is an extraterrestrial.
Yet, you looked askance at my Gollum scenario.
Women shouldn't just offer to iron guys' shirts ever. Sends bad signals, makes the rest of us look bad.

See now, bon bon's story makes me kind of like Condy. And I don't want to.

What sort of fish? I have no idea; the $7,000 fish dying just reminded me of the movie.

I have been known to (though not just men, women too) when someone is doing a really bad job. I just don't want their shirts to look like that.

Trust my rage
I just left a message for someone and totally blanked on myhome number. What is up with that?
