I can hear my mother's head exploding from here.
Does she not like Australians?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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

She's just tired of them calling her "Bruce".

Well, she should wear skirts more often.
Sheila's a perfectly fine name.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've met Jerry Nadler. He's a hell of a guy.
Emily, that form of sherbert is available in the Greek neighborhood I used to live in. I didn't like it, but I can pick up a container for you the next time I'm out there if you're curious.

I keep thinking it must be like pixie sticks.
Also, I really wish Tom would change his name to DeLay. I keep being very confused by headlines talking about "Delay on this that or the other thing" and thinking, okay, so it's slow. So what?

A Brief History of Wine Glasses
There is no shortage of quality wine glasses. The most famous being Reidel glasses, specially shaped for each variety to put the wine onto the correct area of the tongue to taste the best. Finally, there are ISO wine tasting glasses. ISO stands for International Standards Organisation. The glasses are made to a particular size, shape and standard for a specific use. Made from fine colourless crystal, it's rounded shape and smoothness gives an ideal relationship between surface area and volume. The tapered bowl allows free circulation of wine and the funnelling of its vapours.

Reidel glasses, specially shaped for each variety to put the wine onto the correct area of the tongue to taste the best.
This, by the way, has been debunked by everyone who's tested it except Reidel's marketing department. Reidel makes very high quality stemware, but buy it for looks, not taste.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

KATIE'S MOTHER: SherBET! It's sherBET! There's no r!
(Is it actually a spelling variant, then? Though I think she'd still be annoyed; "Duck Tape" drives her crazy.)

I like the idea of these wine glasses. For once, something unbreakable that doesn't look like a child's sippy cup.
