Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You people are making me crave a root beer float. Stop it!

Actually, you're making me crave a root beer float made with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. If I had my brain today, instead of being Queen of the Insomniacs, I would remember what that's called.

Cashmere is my new favorite.
She's my old favorite, and with good reason.

Well, root beer is gross.
That's just crazy talk.

cream soda

Holy moley, my dad used to drink cream soda all the time. As a kid, I could drink maybe half a can. As an adult? Oh god NO!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Kathy, I've met the editor of Astroms Verlag

Really? Cool! I'm just geeked out about my last name being in a publishing house name, because over here in the States, it's a damn rare name. The more I look at the Google result, the more I realize it's much less so in Sweden. There's a hockey goalie named Hardy Astrom (love that name!), and an engineer with a lot of papers to his credit who has the same first name as my dad, so seeing his name show up a lot is really startling.

Secretly switches everyone's root beer with Moxie and enjoys the ensuing chaos (and spit takes).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was thinking that this was a Brown Cow, but googling showed me the error of my ways. A Brown Cow is one of (a) a Coke float (b) a Coke float with chocolate syrup or (c) a root-beer float where the ice cream is melted and muddled up rather than being properly floated as a scoop of ice cream should be, which, really, what's the point, since half the fun is mixing up the ice cream and the root beer as it melts.

Clearly, I need some kind of travel/research grant to verify all three of these and see if there are any other variations I'm not aware of.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Holy moley, my dad used to drink cream soda all the time. As a kid, I could drink maybe half a can. As an adult? Oh god NO!

On a whim last week, I bought a 12-pack of Diet Cream Soda (it was on sale for $1.99!). I am loving it!!

Usually DX is right about everything, but I just don't like Barq's. It doesn't have the creamy goodness of an IBC or Abita. Plus, I seem to recall hearing that they're caffeinated, and that's just wrong.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Barq's is caffeinated, though diet Barq's isn't.
