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

I only get to keep bayonets and swords in the house

I have edged weapons lying all around my place, but no little ones -- I'd be more worried about those than a non-functioning gun.

I'm gonna have to start with something light, maybe a Glock 9mm, while my right wrist is jacked (I keep hurting it shaking hands or scratching my back -- not krav, which is irritating). Or learn with the left. We'll see. I don't expect this to be as ... ego-levelling ... as the surfing thing.

The only venison I've had was in chili -- and it was delicious.

I just noticed that there are actual two, count'em TWO, teams in baseball worse that the Royals. They're coming back, they're only 10 and a half games out of fourth place in the division.

I've never had chicken-fried anything that wasn't nasty. What's the definition of the term?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Chicken-fried chicken" never fails to amuse me.

Right there with you. It's funniest when I catch myself using it with no irony.

I've only had venison in forms that make the meat unrecoginizable (sausage and jambalaya (eta: and chili)), so I really don't know if I like it or not.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There was a letter to the NYTimes food section today from a woman who was deeply offended at their cover picture for last week's goat story. (It was a picture of an amazingly nummy looking goat rib roast with all the trimmings.) How dare they offer up the result of the slaughter of an innocent baby goat (her exact words) for their readers to salivate over?

It had me wondering if she writes in every week, or she honestly never thought about where hamburgers came from.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Amych! Congratulations to you and the Mr!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hey now. The Royals can always know that they swept the Yankees in 2005. That's something to keep for a rainy day.

Also, just think -- the Royals are managed by someone (anyone!) other than Lou Piniella. I don't know a thing about their new manager, except that he is a white man not named Lou Piniella.

I've had venison sausage. It was too rich for me--and I don't usually have a problem with that sort of thing.

Maybe it just the eating of goats that disturbs her. She might be a nongoatitarian.
