I hate boots. Period. I've never found a pair to fit over my calves.
ION, I'm out of Drambuie. This makes me sad.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

OK, so there's this piece on the radio right now at a cat show. There are cats talking in the background. It's making Devi batshit. She's stalking around with her ears back.
Hee! Last night, I was watching my Two Towers: Extended Edition, and had the Gollum documentary on. My cat happened to look at the TV screen just as the picture of Andy Serkis's cat showed up (his hairballs inspired the voice Serkis used), and she jumped up on the coffee table and put her face right up to the tv screen. She was so fascinated by the picture that I went back and freeze framed it for her. She watched it for a few more seconds, then went on with her life.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
because my calves are about 2" larger than most of the boots with zippers.
Do they tend to have less slack that can be adjusted with the laces than boots that don't zip? These, I noted, also have elastic dart thingies. Less rigid than some of my others.
You know what there should be? Where I can find it? A fashion terms site, with both illustrations and photographs. So there'd be a "princess seams" entry with a fashion drawing and various example photographs and perhaps even pattern pieces, if applicable.
We had to put together a book like that for my fashion drawing class, and it was way cool. But I can't even remember the details.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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
Thanks for bailing Tim out, Plei.

Well, my cat did rule his roost. At that time, I didn't know about the Temujin either. Still probably wouldn't have used it though. GK suited his arrogance.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I just found out I won $100.
I was poking around Amazon, looking at possible things to buy, and discovered that I can get House, Veronica Mars, and Wonderfalls for, like $125.
Someone talk me into or out of this plan.
I mean, I should probably use some of the money for responsible-type things. I can also get any 2 of the 3 for under $100. But they are all so very pretty.
