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.

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

Great. I did put off most of the car repairs. Now I'm looking at thousands of dollars of "not covered" medical charges.

The week? She remains the same. At best.

Maybe God has it in for Pat Robertson and keeps telling him stuff that will make him sound nuts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You need a change of luck. I recommend some luck changing ritual. Maybe you need to punch people in the face at krav in a different order or something. While hopping on one foot, and circling around your class chanting "Hinky pink a dinky dink."

Preferably while somebody is filming that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Argh, ita. Your this week is Dead To Me. Next week? On Notice.

And you were alerted to all this by a store clerk?

I think not a clerk, a back-office employee. Not sure why they flagged it, but the account was opened in January, and they called in April.

I deserve sex, alcohol, and gifts to make up for this week. Instead I have a pain in my shoulder.

I have a pain in my shoulder too. We're pain buddies!

when "they" say something like "this wine has a fruity taste of cherries, with an oaky undertone"-- are there cherries in the wine?

All of that stuff Hec said, plus wine can sometimes pick up flavor qualities from the wood in the casks that the wine was stored in.

Oh, BTW, in TAR - what was the

sumi, that thing was called a palanquin.

The guy who ended up telling it to me stressed he didn't think it was funny.

If a joke just isn't all that funny, does it still get to be called a joke?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Why not? I'm not that funny and my Uncle calls *me* a joke.
