I can't even.

My interpretation might be the minority view.

Dayum, hardly seems adequate. I'm somewhat hosed and had a model want to marry me for my EU passport (that's the highlight, she has a skanky eurotrash boyfriend, what, he can't give her status?), my evening seems better in retrospect.

bon bon, in my somewhat alcohol-fuelled view, you're a saint for not giving the boss the metaphorical pink pump up the patoot.

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

I'm trying to work out how much I like this. I'm toying with the idea of owning a woman's watch. Never done that before.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How small does a watch have to be to be a woman's watch? I have a 1920s Art Deco watch that I've assumed was unisex. But some people have thought it's a woman's watch, as it's much smaller than those big watches that manly men wear.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I like the watch a lot - but because of the beaded band - we are talking braclet that has a watch face on it. While it obviouly works like a watch, it is going to float around on your wrist like a bracelet. and with the clasp so near the face - the face will be spinning under your wrist , not on top.

I think the size in proportion to the wrist is what determines " man watch" vs "woman watch". DH and I are very similar in size - but his wrist is much heavier than mine. I can wear a good sized face - that would look small on his wrist. However, I think the main difference is 'things we don't think of as things men wear' like beads for a band or diamonds around the face.

CaBil, the loss of a beloved pet is never minor. I'm so sorry.

No indeedy, Jars -- Evacuation Day is an official city holiday in Boston. Which just happens to fall on St. Patrick's Day -- I'm sure there's not connection with the large number of Irish-Americans working for the city and the need to commemorate the British retreating from Boston in the Revolutionary War. t /puts on most earnest face

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

If not for British evacuation, how would incredibly annoying college freshman drunk on green beer achieve their goal of being arrested on a weekday before 9am??

Okay, the day after the Superbowl whenever the Patriots win doesn't count.
