No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think my twin sister stiff armed an 11 year old girl to catch the bouquet at my wedding.

Her marriage lasted 7 months.

What is shortening?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Lard.

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

What is shortening?

Crisco, not lard.

It's fat--only the veggie kind.

Shortening isn't lard, necessarily. Like Crisco is shortening and it's solid vegetable oil.

ETA is ALWAYS solid veggie oil

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

I think of shortening as lard, but I think that's wrong.

At Kat n' lori's wedding, I think Kat tossed the bouquet, but I can't remember because Too Much Champagne and Too Much Buttercream Frosting made me pass out in a drunken sugar coma for 12 hours.

We did have a Gay Wedding Tree decorated with pink flamingos, though. I think that's the best beginning of a tradition, ever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As other people have said, shortening is not lard.

OK, this site [link] says it's anything that shortens your dough, but what people in the US mean when they say it is vegetable shortening.

Lard:shortening::butter:margarine, though shortening is a lot better a substitute for lard than margarine is for butter.

I've always thought shortening and suet were the same thing. Is that very wrong? I know you can get vegetarian suet now, and it's increasingly difficult to get the original meat kind.
