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.
The word evokes frilliness. I'm sure your slippers are the sloungiest.
They're shiny and black! And it was really freaking cold outside last night.
I hopped off it even as it was falling and landed safely. In my slippers. In the dark.
See, I'm taking comfort in the fact that I didn't break anything or crack my head open, and most of the pain I caused myself was eased by a handful of ibuprofren and a really hot shower.
I have fuzzy slippers with the non-slippy stuff on the bottom. Usually, though, there is a thin layer of sticky, dried apple juice to give me enough traction on our floors.
This guy has a couple of aquariums in his house, so he made a bunch of transparent tubes to connect them all. Fish habitrail! [link]

Oh my god, I haven't had enough coffee to deal with this much stupid.
Huh. There's been no snow in NJ.
I was under the impression that one president had indeed been born on foreign soil -- as the child of an ambassador from the US to that foreign country -- but my guess was FDR and it is neither him (Hyde Park, NY) nor Teddy (Manhattan). Shoot.
Still, embassies are technically US soil, right? So if you want your kid to be definitely eligible for president, you could make sure you actually give birth on embassy grounds.
(There's the other question, where children adopted from abroad are now given a new kind of citizenship -- this is recent, right? -- where they don't have long residency requirements and once it's granted it's like the kid was born here. It's meant to avoid the whole "Whaddya mean I'm being deported to China? I don't even speak Chinese!" problem when those kids hit crime-committing age.)

You must have blinked or something.
It snowed in Fairfax County, VA during rush hour last night. But it was just warm enough that it melted when it hit the surface.
