Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

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

From Hec's link to Erika earlier - this site mentioned in the article: [link] is truly amazing. Fascinating photo-essay, I guess you'd call it. Long, but totally worth it.

It really was amazing to cycle through it a few times. One of the most effective politcal mindfucks I think I've seen - in a positive way. Beautifully upends presuppositions.

So, what do we think the "crown" of a hat is?

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

The top or the upper part, vw.

The part which is not the brim. The round part of a bowler for example.

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

In breaking news (of NYTimes):

Volcano Erupts in Alaska - Augustine Volcano, located on an uninhabited island 180 miles from Anchorage, erupted twice today.

So, if it says to work until the hat measures 6 3/4 inches from crown, do we think that means the center point where I began, or where the hat started to go straight down?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I think it means "If the hat don't fit, you must still knit."

For comparison's sake, The Lord Of The Rings Pinball Game.
