When a repairman comes up to my desk and says that the little oriental lady told him that the back lab door is leaking, do I say, "rugs are oriental, she's vietnamese"?
Or do I do what I just did, and raise an eyebrow and say, "okay, i guess."?
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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.

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If you want pasties, go to the Upper Peninsula, and you can buy them on almost every corner.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
It's a Simpsons reference, Kalshane -- Lisa creates little people in a science experiment.
Ah. I stopped watching after season 2 or 3.
And it has gone on to be shorthand for things so unclean that they spawn life.
Huh. First time I've heard it.
Which branch of Lutherans? There are several....
Not sure if this was directed at me or the joke. I'd actually have to look it up because I haven't been to church in 10 years or so. I was confirmed Lutheran so that's the way I tend to identify, though I realize there's a lot of points where the church dogma and I don't agree now. The services were lovely, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Over-cologne alert.
Kalshane -- I think it was Teppy who first used it to refer to life created through neglect of her dishes.
As for which Lutherans, the Original¹, natch. She spots them nailing something to a church door.
¹: Not original in the way I first took it, as short for MLK Jr.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
IIRC, it was Teppy's sink, my snark, sometime during the WX era.
