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?

Jaysus. Someone buy me that sandwich, will you?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

What gets me is that muffin-top seems to be a "look" right now.

Umm you know a cute little belly sticking out over jeans does not neccesarily look bad on a woman. I mean to a guy. Maybe I just have very weird tast; but on a good looking woman a small muffin top can be sexy. Should I post this? Oh hell, y'all already knew I was strange.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How much do you have to spend on your food before it has a presentation?
