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.
Wasn't the movie based on a real story? It may have been in the lexicon in Australia before Meryl Streep made it famous.
It's a real story, but the "dingoes ate my baby" riff I'd say is more due to the movie (and later Seinfeld) than the actual. It was a real scenery chewing moment.
Well, see, it wasn't the local Goodwill (or a store at all) -- vw was running a bunch of errands, so she took it to the drop-off in Newton, which doesn't even have a phone. Also, looking at the Website, they don't sell donated books -- they're given to "dozens of community-based organizations, such as the Pine Street Inn, to help them achieve their missions."
I'd feel better about this if I thought a like-new copy of a linguistics textbook -- with answer booklet! -- were actually likely to help them achieve their missions, but I'm having a hard time envisioning it. Or a book on neural models. Or the Linux kernel.
Well, maybe they'll sell them. I hope they get decent prices for them, as they were pretty much brand new and unused. I just sort of hate to think of them sitting on a shelf somewhere, unwanted.
My people run Hollywood, own the banks, didn't go to work on 9/11, and now, all your paper cups are belong to me.
Are you familiar with David Icke?

But the shirt said "dingo snack" -- I'm sure the movie helped keep it in the mind's eye, but I can see the link between BtVS and the movie -- less so with the shirt.
Holy cow. I've been searching my computer for files containing the word "tiramisu", as I can't find Plei's recipe and am hoping I just named it wrongly. Apparently a goodly number of the files I used for my master's project contained the word. Angus, DX, juliana, Plei, ita, and billytea apparently all talked about tiramisu sometime in the first 16 Natter threads. ita talked about it in almost every one.

Nilly, however, seems never to have mentioned tiramisu at all. Hmmm.
Er, unless it's in the file where I'd already translated names into numbers.
Are you familiar with David Icke?
No. Does he own the paper plates?
Tiramisu likes carrots?
Em, it's either in Bitches or I emailed it to you whenever it was that you asked about it for feeding Jen (this is the vegan one, right?).
I also probably posted it in my LJ two years ago, which means I'll never find it again.
(I *know* it's in my sent mail folder on the computer in the basement from when I first made it, but I don't know *where* exactly. The first LJ I posted it to is the one I deleted in '02.)
Of course, Jilli, tag it. Sarameg, embrace it. I think it's fairly common knowledge Baltimore is "off the hook"...maybe that's my attraction. Mom says I was born in the weirdest place in CA.
Yeah, I think you emailed me. And I'll search my email, but there's a high probability I deleted it, because I'd copied it onto my hard drive!
Er, I hope it's not on my old laptop. But I don't think so, because it was while Jen was living in Central and probably while I was.
