What is even happening?

TUNA ice cream. CHUNKS OF TUNA IN ICE CREAM.
Gus, this is why they no longer call them 'jams'. The world is going to hell. I think we need no more evidence than tuna ice cream.

But per that article, ham&cheese ice cream never really took off! Maybe that's a balance?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I knew a Buffista would eventually do food, which is why I had that link ready.

6PM Pacific. You can say anything now. Kittens ala boardshorts con republcanasrule is my favorite dish.

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

Hm. I remember wearing lingerie as outerwear in the 80s. Though I guess the flashdance off-the-shoulder look was usualy braless.

Hmm... well, once Madonna did it it barely existed in our world, but it was pretty risque or trashy or something.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Flashdance was good for two things--teaching everyone how to cut up our sweatshirts in creative ways, and teaching me how to take off my bra without taking off my shirt (it had never occurred to me to do so before seeing that movie).

Of course, now I am wondering why they were called jams in the first place. I sewed a crapload of them when I was in the 9th grade!

Weren't jams actually Jams, a brand of surf shorts? The Kleenex of shorts. If the brand is no longer around, there would be no reason to keep calling them that.

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

Bwah! I saw 200+ posts and assumed a kerfuffle, but it was just good old-fashioned fashion snark.

I love the idea of wearing flip-flops to work, but there doesn't seem to be much of a middle ground between beach/shower shoes (all plastic, thin soles, cheap cheap cheap), and the overpriced fugly "fashion" flip-flops that I wouldn't be caught dead in. All I really want is a pair with thick enough soles that I can wear them outside in NYC (since with open-toed shoes, it's important that the toes not actually come close to touching the ground), cloth uppers so they don't look like shower shoes, and to be under $15, because damnit, they're still flip-flops.

DX and billytea will especially appreciate this. (Hec, maybe not so much.)

Heh. Was just emailing with my brother, sharing the Cat in the Bag tale. He has a couple of former street-cats himself (I believe I've posted their passport pictures a time or two...). Misha and Vitya, short for Mikhail and...

wait a minute, how the hell did I never know that the tuxedo cat's full name is Viktor Penguinovich!?!

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

FLIPFLOPS ARE TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE.

Or I'm shopping in the wrong places. And I include Target in this. They shouldn't cost me more than $10. I'm just wanting a pair of crappy shower shoes, something to keep my feet off the grime for a quick few minutes.

Hmm. Just realised--I was watching an ep of Saved and worrying that the little kid would go blind.

For no particular reason, until I realised it was the younger Ray Charles from Ray. Pookie.
