Normally, yes. But who is to say that the picture wasn't taken in a zoo??? Huh??
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Blue was my favorite flavor when I was Emmett's age, too
Me, too. I remember some ice cream called "blue moon" which I think was really just vanilla ice cream with food coloring. But I begged for it. Of course, the whole sticking-your-blue-ice-cream-coated-tongue-out-at-your-sister aspect figured heavily in my food choices back then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a show ... about vampires!

Up with the sun
So I have this usually-tasty boxed Indian meal for lunch. The problem is, for the first time ever, I am having it without a pita or rice, and finding that the undiluted spices are a little harsh. Not too spicy/hot, more that it's too many flavors and you need some bland for contrast.
I am trying to decide if it's worth getting crackers from the vendiing machien to try and remedy this.

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

That site explains that the penguins traveled there, hence the purse.

Re Rob "lying".... maybe I'm just being over-pedantic, but I didn't think he was lying per se (unless I missed something, which is possible).
He paid the guard not to tell the other teams about the express bus, and when the other teams caught him and confronted him about it, he lied to them, and then got indignant about being accused of lying.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think that's the reason I don't like him, Jessica. Not the lie, or even the denying the lie, but the getting pissy about being accused of it.
He's playing well, certainly, but I still think he's being an ass.

Not watching TAR, but that sounds a bit like flavors of Survivor tactics.

The getting pissy is definitely a Survivor tactic -- the more offended you act, the more it looks like you might actually be telling the truth, and the more people you can get to trust you.
It won't help him as much in TAR, I think.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Our JHT was originally notable for the flaw in its big glass windows, which had them shattering whenever a high wind blows. And it blew a whole lot. So for a while in the 70s, it was a 60 story plywood-sided skyscraper. Such fun!
I was under the impression that this problem has not been 100% corrected. Anyway, one day 2 years ago, when the wind gusted up to 40 mph, someone put up Caution tape all around the building and they closed the sidewalks.
I would say this is an urban legend, but I thought the whole "UMASS built a library without accounting for the weight of the books" thing was a myth. Then, someone showed me that the fences around the building and the basement entrance are, in fact, designed to make 100% sure that no bricks pop out of the facade and brain lawsuit-happy college students.
