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...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I see whale tail all the time, and have been guilty of it a time or two myself, but only when bending over. Low rise pants are in, but not everyone thinks to buy low rise thongs to match. If the pants don't come near your waist and the underwear does, or the pants are loose enough to shift when you bend at the waist but the thong isn't—whale tail.

In case you were in any doubt, yes, it's the Gilded Age all over again.

Blogging about leggings: [link]
I saw two women wearing leggings under ruffled skirts yesterday. If the trend's hit Halifax, it must be over, right?
It's not the leggings I object to, it's the capri length of the. Capris, as I like to say, are the work of the devil.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
If you had a private jet, you could have the £85 sandwich for lunch, the $1000 sundae for dessert, and wash it all down with a $1000 mint julep!
(And then, I don't know, light a million-dollar cigar with a $100 bill before going home to sleep on your bed made out of a giant pile of money.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
See, I'm still down with the £85 sandwich, but the $1000 food is a no. Well, the $1000 julep is world of hell-no-why-bother. The $1000 sundae does look quite tasty, but it'd have to be when my sugar daddy is footing the bill.

Dear Coworker,
The reason why my department doesn't process your requests in a timely fashion is because you keep misspelling our department e-mail address.
See, when that happens, we don't get your e-mails.
No, really.
And after Friday, copying my individual address isn't going to work anymore. I suggest you learn how to spell by then.
sincerely,
shrift

I may be going to London on business later this year -- I wonder if I could expense an £85 sandwich?
[eta: £85 sandwich, in greater detail:]
The slices of 24-hour fermented sour dough bread are spread with a mayonnaise flavoured with foie gras (£30 a lb) and black truffle (£340 a lb). There is a generous helping of brie de meaux, considered Europe's finest cheese.
The beef itself, comprising a third of the weight of the sandwich, is a snip at £28 a pound. The meat is seared in a pan on both sides for two minutes and then basted with yet more foie gras before being chilled for 15 minutes and sliced.
English cherry tomatoes and rocket, plus peppers roasted on a naked flame and then skinned and sliced finely, complete the presentation.

Dear Mysterious and Terrifying Tech Goddess,
Spelling is hard. Are you really going to make the Sun go away on Friday?

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

You have a sugar daddy?
