er, while I'm at it,what is white tea?
It's not very fermented, and if memory serves, picked earlier than black/green/oolong which are at the same stage, and only differentiated by the processes after picking.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Lee, where I live is still cooler.
SO NOT THE NICE ONE.
Yes!
YAY!
Of course. Cass and Plei need their share of Lee-fabulosity, too.
We do. Thank you, Karl.
What she said!

Yes. Oooh, and Lee, if you come up here, we can take you British grocery shopping with a Brit! You can listen to him geeble on about sausage rolls and custard tarts.

I can't believe they released this after the Xmas shopping season: Intelligent Design vs. Evolution. The board game.
From You Are Dumb:
In addition to the game board, you get one six-sided die, but you don't get to use it because, after all, we know random chance can't produce any results. And you get a bunch of cards. And an exciting DVD featuring [Kirk] Cameron and his "Way Of The Master" co-host, Roy Comfort. Which, as a result, has caused Parker Brothers to change the name of "Sorry" to "Not Actually That Sad By Comparison These Days".[link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I love that they're selling the board game by quoting "What evolutionists are already saying"
". . . made me spit my water out."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is a monkey helper the same thing as a helper monkey? Anyway, here are the TSA guidelines for those traveling with monkey helpers:
- Since monkeys may likely draw attention, the handler will be escorted to the physical inspection area where a table is available for the monkey to sit on. Only the handler will touch or interact with the monkey.
- TSOs have been trained to not touch the monkey during the screening process.
- TSOs will conduct a visual inspection on the monkey and will coach the handler on how to hold the monkey during the visual inspection.
- The inspection process may require that the handler take off the monkey’s diaper as part of the visual inspection.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
So... No touching of the monkey then?

Nope. But sometimes they touch dogs:
- If the dog alarms the WTMD, the TSO will ask the PWD’s permission and assistance before they touch the dog and its belongings. The TSO will then perform a hand inspection of the dog and its belongings (collar, harness, leash, backpack, vest, etc.) The belongings will not be removed from the dog at any time.
Vest? Apparently jet-setting dogs are often well-dressed.
