I'm googling for Chinese paper pinwheels.
I found this. And this. And this.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

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

Some speculation that life might currently exist on Mars.
Time to dig out those Slim Whitman records.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm very excited about this Baconwhores business. I think that's genius.
Congratulations on your iPoddery, Allyson.
Jacqueline - come home, I've ordered pizza. (Not delivered by pizzawhores, I'm afraid. Not does it have bacon on it. It'll be black olive, feta and mushroom.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I found a "Sparking Pinwheel" that resembles the sort of toy I remember that matches JZ's description, but the only picture is on a cached Google page: [link]
I think it is still available from the company--use their Quick Search for "Sparking Pinwheel"-- but there is no picture on that page.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This may be my new favorite word. What you said yesterday = yestersay.
Any New Yorkers hear me on the radio this morning? Actually it would've been about 11:40 East Coast time.
Like a sucker, I missed it. Because even though I was able to label my bookmark, it did not call to remind me to listen. ITA!!!!
My mom's wedding dress was an a-line long sleeved dress that ended about 4 inches above her knees. Had a little standup mock turtleneck collar.
That sounds like my mother's dress, sara! Also in 1967. But no farmhouse.
Anyone in NYC watching the news right now? It looks like a Hellmouth just opened up in Astoria.
Huh, whuh? Where? I guess I'll find out in 10 minutes.
Huh. I was taught that "Que?" was impolite and you should say "Como?" Was that nonsense?
Like other people said, I think it's like the difference between "What?" and "Excuse me?" My Spanish class senior year in high school had a bunch of kids who had learned Spanish at home, but had bad/sloppy grammar, like people do. I think that class was harder on them than on me, because they kept insisting they were right.
