Thrive to spite them

Has anyone ever used Stormpay --- it's like paypal or bid pay.

Co Worker won an auction but didn't read the fine print that she only accepts this. We've never heard of it and right now neither of us can sign up for it because it only accepts email addressess associated with an ISP. I think I have an Earthlink address, but I'm not sure and the phones at work or down so I can't call Sprint and find out.

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

I remember bon talking about the McDonalds coffee incident.

I've argued with a lot of people about this case. IMHO, the facts of the case do warrant the award.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The coffee incident is one of those things that will get you jumped on if you mention it to most trial attorneys, or at least most of the ones I have met. The jury was so very justified in the award.

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

I do enjoy arguing from my "enlightened" PoV now. It's such an easy target for bitching.

Hee. This is one of my speech subjects as well, i.e., you bring it up, you're darn well getting the full speech.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

However, a defence ministry source quoted by Reuters said it appeared that the bodies had been frozen solid.

Can that even happen over the course of two hours in a plane fusilage that started out at normal room temperature? Without intervention by a super villain, I mean?

I'm guessing they're exaggerating a bit. Maybe the first inch or two of flesh was frozen, but the bodies were still unfrozen in the middle.

Also, ew.

But as the air inside lost pressure, it would also immediately become colder, as that's the behavior of gasses.

What in the hell is that from?

Candy?

Also, a Far Side cartoon in which polar bears are dicussing eating humans in igloos.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Mentos. Also, the afore-mentioned Far Side, which makes me laugh every time I see it.
