Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was going to say. If you care enough to wear a hair shirt, you care enough to grow your own materials to make a hair shirt.
I bet you do not even use a sewing machine when assembling it. (N.b. I have no idea how you actually make a hair shirt, but with a regular shirt, you would use a sewing machine, wouldn't you?)
Of course, I always wondered about "useful" things made out of hair, because anyone who has been to a barber shop knows hair is actually quite itchy and unpleasant. Which is the point, with a hair shirt (or anyway, suffering is the point), but what about horsehair couches? Do these people not believe in padded springs or goosedown or frelling cane chairs for crying out loud? You've got to make a couch out of horse hair??

If I only had a brain...
Horsehair couches are smooth and shiny. The problem is sliding off the couch, not being prickled.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I have no idea how you actually make a hair shirt
I'd think knit.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Also, you googling instead of asking doesn't tell me anything. And it often happens that someone will bring up a question on something that is new and interesting, or that I'd also wanted to know but didn't think to ask.
Yup, this. I like the community brain factor.
Susan, I checked the post, and the person in question has rubbed me the wrong way before (not in direct interaction, but observing her interacting with other people), so I'd shrug it off.
OK. Will shrug.
And I think I've discovered the real reason I write so much better when I do my drafts in longhand. I'm drafting at the computer, trying to round out the seven pages I wrote out last night and typed in this morning up to ten pages to take to writers group tonight. And I'm all, "Whee! I just wrote a whole paragraph. Time to check Buffistas again! I wonder if there's anything in my gmail box."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
And it's pronounced Lake WTFdon'teventryit.
Well, if you want to be technical about it, it's pronounced "Webster Lake" now.

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
Um?
This is the first post I've been able to get to take in Natter all day.
