That bay is awfully wide, isn't it, Sparky?
and I'm short, so sometimes I'm kind of hard to see. I owe you email, Spidra...
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

[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.

I have never been a successful thrifter. I love the idea of it, but I can never find anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's why one must rely on experts. I can do smash and grab shopping well, but for an all out assault, I need Kat.

I think with thrifting, if I understand the secret, is to not be looking for anything specific, because you're just setting yourself up for a letdown. If you're just browsing, that's when you find the amazing ass-flattering gold sequin-ed pants for $2.
Or so I'm given to understand.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
We live in a tough area for thrifting, MG. So much competition here. Things were better in the days before vintage stores. ::Hawks chewing tobacco into spittoon. Thumbs suspenders.::

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Epic, I still have an unclaimed couch in Berkeley.
Woot! I'm still at the pencil-me-in-lightly phase as I work on details between work and school and etc. But I'm very excited at the prospect!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
When are you thrifting, JZ? I think that might make me happy.
Dunno yet. Saturday, most likely, if that suits Lee.
Ooh! We could go to Valencia Street too -- that has loads of vintage and thrifty stuff that I never get to check out because I usually only go to that area with Hec and Emmett, whose collective vintage and thrift tolerance is... let's see, nuthin' minus nuthin', carry the zero... red-hot blazing hate.

I watched the first two episodes of Top Chef last night, and I am hooked. I can't wait for the next episode.

I beg to differ, ma'am. When I was there in November, I went to one of the thrift stores on Valencia with Hec and Emmett -- in fact, I'm pretty damn sure that Hec suggested it -- and watched them scavenge with the intensity of vultures.
