The text for the pants is too funny. Bitter much?

Unlike Wolfram, I have words, but (a) none of them are remotely polite, and (b) it seems painfully clear that they'd be a waste of time. Though that rant pokes me in hard in one of my secret insecurity painful places, the fear that all my atheist and agnostic friends are just being polite and secretly they think I'm a dipshit and an intellectual fraud. Which I know is most likely not so, but guys like that ranter make me paranoid that it actually is.

Those pants have made a natter hatrick.

Oops. I saw it mentioned on my fl today but I didn't see it in here. I guess it was older than I thought.

My favorite part is his reasoning for why he will never wear a pair of leather pants. Starting with, "I am not a member of Queen."

Hivemind survey: have you turned on your heat yet? How do you decide when to turn on the heat? What do you set the thermostat to? (Assuming you are lucky enough to control your heat. Of course, that "luck" generally means you pay the bill, too, which this year - owie.)

I'm trying to hold off until November. This is the first week we've been tempted. I like it at 72, but when we don't have an infant in the house I feel like I ought to have it at 68.
