Just saying that I would prefer Lex in the French Maid outfit.

Probably it should be Clark the French Maid. With fishnets. Lex, though... slutty Catholic schoolgirl, maybe? Or possibly just the classic eyeliner and leather pants.

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

I think my ganache is fucked. So if you can get my cousin wed, that'd at least be something.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Allyson's rant from earlier reminds me that, with my move, I will no longer have to worry about being panhandled while waiting in the drive-up line at Wendy's--the good thing about moving far away from the CTA El stop!

The ganache is fucked. I'm still using it, but I am a bit sad.

It's disconcerting to realise I rarely make myself a cup of rooibos tea without saying "Rooibos!" It's a thing. And as things go, kinda lame.

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

There's a McDonnalds near me where I'm often panhandled while sitting and eating (which for some reason really pisses me off). Twice I've had panhandlers interrupt me and ask for money while I was placing my order.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I love the guys who panhandle at the ATM.

Dude, I'm here because I'm OUT of money... and I'm not giving you a twenty.

Plus that's just plain scary.

Anyway, for some reason Minneapolis was the worst. That's where most of my death-threats-from-panhandlers were received.

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

The car culture of LA means I get panhandled less often. Mostly it's guys with signs at major intersections. There was one that flipped his "Hungry, please help me" over to "Hi, pretty lady" every now and again. Which made me smile, since I was far away, and in control of a large hunk of metal.

Rooibos!

I do get asked to sign things a lot when I go grocery shopping. I wonder often what their mental response to "No" is. Today I took the time to explain I wasn't a voter, and he said "Well, you can't sign then!" like I was going to bumrush his petition. Dude, I'm telling you why I'm not signing.

When the petition people come to me with their causes, I'm often tempted to say, "Sorry, I believe in supporting evil."
