Plus you could get muddy down there so close to the earth.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The only Magical Power of Women that terrifies me is the abilty possessed by ones in checkout lines ahead of me to agonize over insignificant purchases, misplace their checkbooks and ID, make small talk with the cashier, etc. while I have frozen food defrosting in my hands.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have two nonfiction book recommendations:
Phil Dusenberry,
Then We Set His Hair on Fire
Simon Singh,
Big Bang
Both books are great reads, very interesting, and made me think about things in a new way.

What? Men don't do this too? Or is it just where you are more women do the grocery shopping then men?

At the risk of being labelled a slug-eating he-man, as a rule, men don't chat while shopping.

If men do it, none of them have ever done so while in front of me in a checkout line. Any delays while waiting behind a guy were cashier- rather than customer-driven.
I think our gender is more goal-oriented when making purchases. Also, no purses to lose things in.

Because they're too busy eating slugs?

They do with the pretty cashiers at the Whole Foods!
My problem with Other People shopping is people who go to the self checkout who really shouldn't be allowed to check themselves out.

Someone has to.

Oh yeeeeeah. You may have won this round, but I'll be back after I eat a few slugs to get my strength up.

That. I'll bet that's a huge component.
