Always Anti-fascist!

I would support that.

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

I wanted to smack them both.

Oh, I'd have laughed forever.

There's another tee I love, but there's another accessory I'd need first, since I wouldn't be the one wearing it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Today's fortune cookie fortune:

A smile is your personal welcome mat.

My very first reaction was, "What, I'm suppose to let people walk on my face?"

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I wanted to smack them both.

Huh. I found that mildly amusing. I'd never actually do that, but I think it's kind of funny.

Art Crawl!!!

ita -- I don't know if somebody answered your Jack & Bobby question earlier but if not he is dead at the time of the fast forwards.

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

And someday I'll get a dictionary and laugh.

Bwah!

It's a play on Joyce's line from Ullysses (which my college GF had on her t-shirt): The ineluctable modality of the visible.

Which means (in the context of the book): The inexpressible patterning of what we see. I think in that section of the book, the character is by the sea and has his eyes closed, but he's still "seeing" it in his mind. Joyce was just noting the primacy of vision in ordering how we conceive of things. t /pedantic

I can just see the personal ad for that one "Seeking a special someone who can fill out a t-shirt. Shirt will be provided."

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I would wear the tee-shirt in ita's link.

Not too sure what the message would evoke in the mind of the reader, though. Some kind of nine-foot tall Amazon with green skin, wearing a Klingon hide, maybe.

Always Anti-fascist!

Oh, yeah, I get it. Now. And I don't think it's pedantic if I asked. Maybe if I ran into you at Target wearing it, but not around here.

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

She has a tee-shirt that says "tits" in Braille.

I bought a kid's tee at a thrift store from the Grand Tetons.
