Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mostly lurking...

Well, huh. I just got an e-mail from the xBox service people. They have inspected my xBox. Um...you said you didn't have it. GRRRRRRRR!

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

How annoying, VW, but at least they found it.

If I made CI cupcakes last night, and didn't frost them, that makes them the same thing as a muffin, and I can eat one for breakfast, right?

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

Well, what with muffins being cake, sure, they're the same.

Wait, when did muffins become cake? I that that was just for bread.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

FWIW, I've heard that if you're brewing the same kind of coffee beans, there's little reason to do more than rinse out the coffee pot -- a percolater brings the coffee water up to boiling as a matter of course, so unless old coffee has sat in the percolater for days (long enough for the bean oil to go rancid) you can just rinse & reuse indefinitely.

Well, are they bread? Nah, they're just cupcakes wearing muscle shirts, pretending to be healthy.

move out and draw fire

so unless old coffee has sat in the percolater for days (long enough for the bean oil to go rancid)

One of the engineers at a job I had four or five years ago explained in detail to me how long it takes the caffiene molecule to break down in water, and explained that that is why coffee gets bitter.

There's no explaining why the coffee I just bought here is bitter and greasy right from the get-go, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Heh. I posted a request for the CI cupcake recipe in Natter. Weren't cupcakes being discussed there yesterday?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Cash is jonesing for cupcakes.

Folks at the A's blog have nicknamed our rookie pitcher, Joe Blanton, Cupcakes. He's a little on the portly side and there was a picture of him early in the season captioned, "Yes, I will have that last cupcake." He's a good young pitcher. Not as good as King Felix, though, who shut down the (admittedly anemic) A's offense last night.
