Oh, and I love the french press (and ours is about as old as I am, with a triple filter that's just fantastic), but Paul keeps breaking the glass, so they're all out of order at the moment.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This (or something similar) might have been posted before, but....
What Kind of American English Do You Speak?
I am:
- 75% General American English
- 15% Upper Midwestern
- 10% Yankee
- 0% Dixie
- 0% Midwestern
I no longer say 'pop' (I say 'soda' now.) I used to as a child but stopped... I forget when. Maybe when I left Wisconsin....
eta: Answering the way I spoke while growing up, I get:
- 65% General American English
- 20% Upper Midwestern
- 10% Yankee
- 5% Midwestern
- 0% Dixie
So I've lost some of my regional speaking.... thingie... -ness....

Pop is not a Milwaukee-ism at all. Though bubbler is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
See, that's exactly why I have one glass french press for company, one stainless steel for every day use and one lexan for backpacking and/or visiting people who don't drink coffee.
I liked my Chemex when i had one, but they seem to break more or less spontaneously.

brenda, do let me know if they open up a rift in the space-time coninuum. I don't know why I suspect that they would, but I do.

I did! I meant to respond, then work ate my head.
I'm willing to take it off your hands, if you've still got it around.
PS,
PIRATES!

We actually had three french presses at one point. The one I stole from my parents, the one we bought, and the single-serving one.
Of them, I think only the single-serving isn't broken at the moment.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Why are the people running my state being so stupid?
Aw, geez, Gud. The rampant stupidity and short-sightedness on display in that article are making my stomach cramp. Also the mental gymnastics involved in reading that the author and main supporter of a competing amendment to override the ban and restore contraceptive funding were both Republicans, and that several of the handful of Democrats in your state leg. happily went along with the ban.
