Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Brussel sprouts do not taste like ass OR like little cabbages. Brussel sprouts are slightly sweet, and slightly bitter. Wonderful with butter and garlic.

Cabbage is also of the yum, but tastes completely different. And next time I have red meat, (about twice a month) I think I will make it corned beef and cabbage.

I totally agree that if you try something and hate it that is legit. It is the refusal to try. I once had a two week contract in a suburb of Zanesville, Ohio. (Zanesville is a tiny little place itself, so a suburb of it is a really small town.) Everyone was deciding what to have for lunch (It was a new company, first day for everyone, so nobody had brought lunch.) I was the only out-of-towner, everyone else was a permanent local hire. I mentioned that I had passed a chinese place that looked possibly decent on the way in. That provoked the following discussion:

Employee 1) I've always meant to try Chinese food one of these days.

Employee 2) Yeah, there are three Chinese resteraunts around here - we really should give it a try.

Employee 3) I had a gyro once. i like exotic food. We ought to try it.

We went out for hamburgers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK then, not that hard. There's no bang! Just a little tap. It all works together with the sound to CLEARLY indicate "doing it." If you're me or about three of my friends.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Did you have to master these concepts for your voice activated software? Or was this just for fun?

Oh, you get interested in these topics in my situation. Mastery will come when I describe a noise more accurately than ita.

It will happen someday. I am sure of it.

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

Freaks. But I think I get it. Is there any requirement to suck on the same side as the fist pump? I suddenly find I can't not.

No requirement at all. You can use your discretion there.

Now I have visions of this spreading the country, or at least San Francisco, and making its way back around to K, who made it up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ita, JZ just shared a story with me about a 19th century ruffian in New Orleans named John Miller that you absolutely must have her recount to you, should you catch her online.

Dude, was a freaky badass. Like...Thunderdome freaky.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Okay, I need to amend that to note that John Miller's girlfriend, Mary Jane "Bricktop" Jackson was even more of a badass.

I definitely need to know how one gets the nickname "Bricktop."
