I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I never got to the meth part of "The Purpose Driven Life".

See, if you had gotten that far, it would have changed your life.

Silence means security silence means approval

Diet. Coke. on. monitor. You have no idea HOW funny that is to me.

Too bad this board has no awards for "Funniest One-Liner Of The Year," because that's "put on a tux and get berated by Joan Rivers" quality.

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

In non-food news, I had mandatory training for Outlook (the firm is in the process of switching to it from Eudora) scheduled for today at 10. I showed up at 10:07, about 10 minutes before anyone else, including the trainer, sat there for over 30 minutes, and then got sent away because the trainers (aka our IT department) were having technical difficulties.

What do people use for downers, then?

Alcohol and Benzodiazepines (like Valium) mostly, if you are talking about not-tightly-restricted drugs.

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

I'm trying to work out which cultural touchstones I'm missing because I fail to remotely get Gud's meth snark.

But it's okay. I have cassava.

One man's meat....

Thai, I think, for lunch.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I fail to remotely get Gud's meth snark.

Blah blah story of woman who talked down violent nutter by reading aloud from book, blah blah book was The Purpose-Driven Life, which is the bookclub item du jour in religious circles, blah blah when push comes to book contract woman admits that it was actually the liberal application of illegal drugs that "talked" violent nutter down, and at best they rested their coffee cups on aforementioned book blah blah neat-o-keen story about religious books soothing the savage breasts of nutters is woefully lacking in truthfulness.

Rhubarb: thought to be entirely poisonous unless cooked, now known that only the leaves are poision

Doesn't raw spinach have a portion of the exact same poison as rhubarb leaves; just not enough to do damage?
