I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what the US could use more of? Pasties. (The food kind.)
Is that pasty place in Harvard Square gone?
I'm so close to working on my paper. I even have the document open and everything.

Also, speaking of dough-covered food, I was so good just now and didn't get the quince and cheese empanada for dessert with my sandwich.

Ooh. I don't know, never heard of it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a Simpsons reference, Kalshane -- Lisa creates little people in a science experiment.

Oh, Cardullo's. I was resisting going there for clotted cream because I knew it was a money-suck, but now it looks like I just might have to. Mmm, clotted cream.
Wish me luck on my Algebra test! Also, wish my hiccups away, please, because I'll be so embarrassed if I hiccup through the test!

Sadly, the odds are good it's been gone for like ten years, since I haven't gone there since high school, I don't think.

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

Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers pledged support in 1989 for a constitutional amendment banning abortions except when necessary to save the life of the mother, according to material given to the Senate on Tuesday. As a candidate for the Dallas city council, Miers also signaled support for the overall agenda of Texans United for Life — agreeing she would support legislation restricting abortions if the Supreme Court ruled that states could ban abortions and would participate in "pro-life rallies and special events."
