You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm pretty sure (but not certain) is was an advertising slogan. But not sure for what.

xpost: aaand thank you. Now I can persist at appearing sane

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

Six people who died in the crash were alive when the plane crashed, chief Athens coroner Fillipos Koutsaftis said Monday. It remained unclear whether they were conscious, he said.

"We have performed autopsies on six people. Our conclusion is they had circulation and were breathing at the time of death," Koutsaftis said.

IOW, six people were not cruncy on the outside, chewy on the inside.

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

Was there fire? Because they might still have been.

Yes. Some of the frozen people were burned on the outside.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think that's crispy.

Aha. One would need batter, then.

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

It looks sleazy. After a cursory view of their website, it appears that you can setup an account for free, but any payments you make are going to include a 3% service fee. So you'll pay more as a buyer to use stormpay as opposed to paypal where it's the seller who incurs the cost.

Also their purchaser protection plan is total bullshit. For example:

2. Eligibility. Purchaser complaints must be filed within 45 days of the payment. Even if the purchaser’s claim is justified, the purchaser will receive a recovery only if there are funds in the seller’s account. RECOVERY OF YOUR CLAIM IS NOT GUARANTEED.

Yes, crispy not crunchy

Also, you know what's embarassing? Having to have a lorakeet pulled out of your cleavage. In front of a bunch of strangers. On a busy Saturday at the Aquaruim of the Pacific. BUT this is not as bad as being pooped on by a lorakeet as you attempt to leave the cage. The worst part? Being mocked and laughed at by your brother, your husband and your children. Suffice it to say that I won't be returning to the lorakeet cages any time soon.

KAT! Next time you guys are paddling around MdR, you need to stop by! You can't miss the boat - we're on the end of the next to last dock - diagonally from the Chart House.

Edited for spelling dur!

Whoa. That organic plum I just finished might have been the sweetest fruit I've ever eaten. Certainly beat the chocolate and the cupcake I've also had today.

My experimentation with organic fruit continues...
