Even Bon Appetit magazine has pegged the cream puff — a puff pastry with flavored cream filling — as the hot dessert for 2005.

For the first time ever, I recently had a cream puff with flavoured filling. It was strange and offputting. Is that a new thing or am just in a French pastry backwater?

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

i am convinced that YOU HATE ME.

More than I hate everyone else? It's been brought to my attention that I'm a curmudgeonly harridan in need of a hug.

But don't mistake that for hating Allyson, because that's simply not true.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does anyone else get to the end of the thread, put the cursor in the post box, and hit paste just to see if, at some point, they had something to say?

Totally.

You could get a gmail account (I have invites if you need one), and forward the stuff you want to keep for long term, to that account.

Personal stuff I keep in my yahoo account, it's the stuff for my job that can be an issue. Like my boss just asked if I had a "receipt" for something I bought online months ago, and I'm sure they sent an email, but it's long gone by now.

I have found my long term goal of what I want to be. Though possibly with hug-needing as optional.

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

How they designed and built the Batmobile(s): [link]

Crowley also didn't want to use any digital effects in scenes involving the car. Even the best computerized visual effects wouldn't have the gritty, realistic look he wanted, he said. That meant the car had to be fast and be fairly maneuverable.

...

The four fully driveable Batmobiles the crew built are powered by a 340-horsepower General Motors V8 engine. Despite its tank-like appearance, the car is capable of going from zero to sixty miles an hour in 5.3 seconds, said Crowley.

Wow.

Yep. That was my reaction when I discovered I could order the Best Fudge on Earth online.

Oh dear lord. Thank you, Calli.

You're welcome, -t. If only I could download bricks of fudge through my computer it would truely be a golden age. And I wouldn't be able to fit my laptop on my lap anymore. But every advance has a cost.

Crowley designed the Batmobile? Of course he did! And I'll bet he took Aziraphale for a feather-raising spin, too.
