Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

So if we attack Iran, we may have to fight Tomcats....

Tommy, even when we gave those planes to Iran, they were all stripped of any advanced technology for the time. There were Iranians going to avionics school with my ex and me that had to leave the class when certain types of equipment were taught. Meant they didn't have to take the tests on them, either, lucky schmucks.

"Hairy" many-many-legged large-ish bugs may well be House Centipedes, which eat silverfish, cockroaches, and other undesirables. They are not particularly harmful to humans and household pets, having a mild venom at best, though they may be quite amusing to cats.

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

Supposedly the Iranians have been upgrading them with their own technology. But this is obvioulsy hard to confirm.

Oh, so apparantly the administration and the military are still considering nuking Iran.

The Pentagon's top brass has moved into second-stage contingency planning for a potential military strike on Iran, one senior intelligence official familiar with the plans tells RAW STORY.

The official, who is close to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest ranking officials of each branch of the US military, says the Chiefs have started what is called "branches and sequels" contingency planning.

"The JCS has accepted the inevitable," the intelligence official said, "and is engaged in serious contingency planning to deal with the worst case scenarios that the intelligence community has been painting."

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

why not more shape-variant measurements to work with?

Because I'd need to travel with a notebook just to remember all my shapes.

Honestly, I think it's annoying that a 6 isn't a 6 isn't a 6. But if they were dressing approximately the same woman, I wouldn't mind so much.

I did an eBay binge a month or so ago. For that time I was totally on top of my waist/hip/bust measurements. Then I realised that I needed to know shoulder to waist--natural waist for the older stuff. Then there are the issues where having breasts makes a natural-waist outfit an empire cut on me. Or the fact that it's not just my hips that take up the space, but my thighs.

I tried the multiple measurement thing. It has sufficient limitations that I'm not sold on it at all.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Maybe the Land's End bathing-suit practice, of using geometric shapes to describe body-type, would be a good substitute for many-measurements? Size 6 for rectangles! Size 8 for inverted triangles! Anyway, that would clear up all those times that I try on a dress and it fits onto my body, but makes me look like a whore or a grandma.

Seaking of, Butty, did thos pants fit?

Seaking of, brie, yes thos pants did fit me fine, and I pranced about the house in them, and I anticipating wearing them rather a lot in the coming months (though not, thankfully, yet).

Do you see what I get from the blood kin? Butty! I ask you!!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I kinda hate clothes. It's mildly depressing.
