Watching 24. Really enjoying bitter soulpatch. I bet he's a goner.
Sheesh, Ward!Terror is being awfully hard on the Beaver.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Developing a theory, here… Buffistas talk about asparagus and other things that are disgusting, because they know Gus will be threadsucking, then searching for his name.
'Cuz there just can't be any reason to talk about asparagus.
ION: Many good coders are women. Men just brag about their skillz so often, it seems like they are beter at it.

Well, none except it's yummy when cooked properly.
As opposed to broccoli or cauliflower or brussell sprouts which are abominations of nature.

Frankenbuddha is a supertaster, like a certain republican president. Here is proof that being a republican is not a genetic predisposition.
Discovery: Working remotely with a corporation takes more keyboard time than working in-house with that corporation. Sure, you can work in your sweats and stocking-feet, with your hair all this-or-that-away and a scrubby beard, but you end up spending more time proving you are doing something.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
A former psychotic co-worker was actually the only person I've ever met who had a way to prepare brussel sprouts that made them taste good. Possibly she was the only person crazy enough to try. But they were marinated in a hot mustard-y sauce with cayenne peppers that completely overwhelmed the natural flavor of the abominationvegetable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There is nothing wrong with brussel sprouts! They're just like little cabbages.
ION, I seem to find myself in a phase. Watched two hours of Nip/Tuck last night, am now watching Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery.

I don't have a degree at all, but if I'd finished mine,
What? You didn't follow Jon Stewart's advice to "Stay in school!"
I've had good brussels sprouts in brown butter.
I like asparagus, but I like it particularly with lemon-garlic-butter.
But I'd eat shoelaces if they were covered in lemon-garlic-butter.
Emmett and JZ are watching the puppy bowl again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They're just like little cabbages.
When you describe them that way ... they sound like ripened ass.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cabbage can be good! It''s yum when its soaked up corned beef. Why must people hate the vegetables?!?!1!
Except lima beans. Everybody should hate those.

There honestly are very few foods I can't at least tolerate. And the older I get, the more things I'll eat. So that's good.
I just feel bad for all you poor limited people.
