A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Always my (sticky) last resort.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Today was my first day back at work.

... I don't want to be here. Not least because my coworkers are fleeing in droves, and the ones who are left seem very grumpy.

Sigh.

If I only had a brain...

Probably is in theory, ita, but I see truffles with gold leaf on them all the time at Draeger's. Basically, this INCREDIBLY OBNOXIOUS guy in the Bay Area sued all the cook's supply places, and now they won't mail-order dragees into California. You can still walk into an art supply place, buy gold or silver leaf, and do whatever you want to with it, though.

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

But at least the children won't get poisoned should they happen to scarfe down thirty or forty thousand of the things at a sitting.

Who keeps more than 1/4 cup of the stuff around anyway? Professional cake decorators, maybe.

All it takes is one prodigious cupcake decorator to potentially cause serious harm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That kind of thing just makes me laugh when I think about the amount of lead (from old lead paint) in all the dirt in all the yards in my neighborhood growing up.

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

Never wore a seatbelt when I was a kid.

Ate raw brownie batter and raw cookie dough.

My mom had a little kid seat on her bike before she got a license and drove all over Chelsea on the bike, with by bottle attached to a string in case I dropped it so I could reel it back up. No helmet.

Still here.

I hate "save us from ourselves" laws.

What is even happening?

Do I want ice cream on my apple pie, or just the pie?

Do I want tea, too? Do I want tea, either way? I have no decaf, and can't drink the herbal stuff with food, because ewwww.

If I have warm pie, ice cream, and hot tea, will my teeth start to think I've sent them to hell?

Why are there four more minutes 'til whispering Jack?

Huh. So is it the color that makes them dragees and not nonpareils?

Nope. The dragees are about ten times the size of the nonpareils. Which still makes them pretty teeny.

Jimmies, IME, come in two varieties: chocolate and rainbow.

The bakery around the corner from me has one of those scary doll body cakes in the window. They usually have about 7 or 8 cakes on display. At any given time, about half will be stunningly gorgeous and the other half freakishly ugly.
