It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Let's see...what could I teach at Buffista Camp? Crafts

I can cover things like "The Basics of Crocheting: Straight Lines" and "Sewing in Straight Lines: It's amazing how much you can do without being able to turn corners."

Also, "Keyboarding for Cats".

Question for y'all: Does anyone know how I could get access to a sewing machine for a few hours, wihtout owning one? Like, do places ever...rent them? I would love to be able to go somewhere and be like "OK, I wanna rent a machine for two hours" and be forced to do a project and clean up. I dont' want to OWN one, because OMG the mess I don't need to make, but it'd be nice to be able to USE one every once in a while...thoughts?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Although they're quite different and a craving for one would not be satisfied by the other.

Ann, that's a ferret.

True, Debet. Lilt is definitely in the fruity soda category.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Emily, I hope the week coming up is better, and I'm glad your principal is being supportive.

I've not heard of sewing machine rental. Doesn't mean it's not available, just that I haven't heard of it. What you really need to do is convince a friend that s/he needs to buy one, then go over and borrow it.

Heh. Well, that's one way to do it, but my friends around here have as little space and time as I do, mostly...plus, part of the benefit of going somewhere would be the "OK, if I book this time, I HAVE to go do it!", whereas with a friend, it's not the same urgency.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't know, meara, but it sounds like a good idea -- I've been wanting and yet not getting a sewing machine for the exact same reasons. (Also, because I really have nowhere to put one, but I'd kind of have some room if I just cleaned up a bit.)

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

Erin, there might be jogging, but probably in place. They'll teach you stance, basic strikes, and maybe a defense against chokes or the like.

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

meara, my sister says that Michael's craft stores have various clubs (beading, weaving, etc.) where people show up and craft together. Maybe they have sewing machines available as well?
