Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

They let me out of work, and now I'm having a beer in honor of shrift.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But you've posted less than Jessica this thread.

Interesting. But still, people have attributed her stuff to me a couple of times recently. Curious.

Maybe I can write a paper about that instead.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I want to honor shrift too! Dang it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

These look great, bon, except the small ones all have wheels, and that'd look weird in my living room.

Mine have wheels. Unfortunately, they don't seem to sell it anymore (I think it's very close to the Tribeca model), but I don't think they're particularly obvious. The website is showing you an angle from the ground with the wheels out, but they turn so that they're under the unit. I can't be sure while I'm at work that they're not weird looking but the wheels are very convenient.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think Cindy's mentally re-attributing my posts to Jesse 'cause she's still mad about yesterday's pants discussion...

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

I'm going to (try and) check out my local West Elm and see what they have there.

OMG, WTF, Acronyms and Online Pedophiles.

We need to update the FAQ:

How bad has the lingo become? NIFOC is one of the terms they might use and it means Naked in Front of Computer. Then there's KPC - Keeping Parents Clueless; GYP0 - Get Your Pants Off; and TDTM - Talks Dirty To Me.

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

I want to honor shrift too! Dang it.

Me too!

I can't believe I forgot to post this yesterday:

I wonder how much of that lingo is made up. [link] Helpfully they provide no source. (It looks like it's is NetLingo, which has no profit motive whatsoever.)

Ooh, I bet you're right -- mental blockage!

So, instead of working, I'm watching Criminal Minds from the other night, and I'm stupidly disappointed to hear that Garcia's last name came from her stepfather. She's one of my favorite characters on TV right now -- cute and sassy and heavy and techie and fun! And a total blonde white girl with a Spanish last name.
