I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

My German is reserved for people who deserve faltering, badly enunciated utterances that fail to find a point.

Mostly, I employ the new skillz for listening.

Sumi-ko and I will have some time in the latter half of October to take a road trip, Fiona. We should get together to do a thing in a place.

With such recommendations, Kate and Gus, how could I refuse? I'm quite a way from Berlin - 4 to 5 hours by car (driving German style, no speed limit), and about the same by train, costing EUR 100,00 one way. (I know these are distances you Murricans sneeze at, but to us mid-Europeans, it's far).

Berlin is such a fantastic city, though, perhaps I should visit while you're there instead. Or something.

A thing in a place - yes.

See? This is how these German women get that overly-specific, bossy reputation. Go ahead, dictate every instant of our road trip, Bossy Dominatrix Girl.

Fiona, 4-5 hours doesn't sound unreasonably far, and I know my friend would delight in showing me how fast he can drive. Or, meeting up in Berlin is good too. Not that I have, you know, plane tickets or even firm dates yet, but I'm all excited at the thought that I might get to meet you.

The Pacific was no match for jimi's Inspector Gadget-like arms. He did, however, manage to elevate the alert level in the US past red to "Dr Klaw".
