juliana (I think), in response to "ordinary feral blackberry":
This gave me mental pictures of packs of previously domesticated blackberries slipping their leashes and roving the neighborhood, overturning tartlet pans and leaving stains wherever they roam.
erikaj:
My dad used to put my name into "Alice's Restaurant" all the time. I loved it but I thought he wrote it which confused me later.
Commed not for the setup, but for the spike.
Me: I remember reading in college about this appalling study done on, I think, the Orkneys, where it became clear that female orgasm was damned near unknown, as was anything but male-superior sex. (The number of wives who'd ever had a husband put a month on their breast, for instance, was shockingly low.)
FayJay: ....a whole month? Holy cow, you Americans really do take foreplay seriously. Props to you.
t /abruptly aware of inadequacies of British menfolk.
In the Music thread:
Daisy: I'm surprised that no one here has mentioned Courtney Love being arrested in London.
Fred Pete: There was a story on the radio about that this morning. Basically, she was arrested for a ruckus with the first-class crew aboard a Virgin Airlines flight to London. The announcer then expressed shock at actually saying "Courtney Love," "class," and "Virgin" in the same sentence.
Angel, slight spoilers:
DXMachina: We've had Othello and Oedipus. What other plays start with O?
Matt the Bruins fan: Oh, Calcutta?
Oklahoma!?
From Dude, Where's My Precious?
Jars: Ah, Judge Judy. Her word is law. And so my crisis is over. Is there anything she can't do? Apart from reach products on the high shelves?
Aimee: Bris. She can't do a bris.
MechaKrelboyne: Reach products on shelves of moderate height? Throw her little hammer at people? Figure Prominently in Slash?
Kathy Astrom: ....AAAAnd, we're back on topic.
Aimée: Working on resume. How does one write, "gets money from deadbeats without use of smacking around"?
Hil R.: "Excellent people skills."
Amber B., from Angel spoilerly:
Gotta love that Angelus - he's well-read, insightful, witty - if it weren't for that insane mass murderer thing, he'd be damn near perfect.
billytea in bitches reporting his younger brother's reworking of 'Oh Tannembaum':
O canteloupe, O canteloupe Why do you taste of grapefruit? O canteloupe, O canteloupe You've ruined my best dinner suit O lovely ti-i-iny canteloupe You're smaller than... an antelope... O canteloupe, O canteloupe Why do you taste of grapefruit?
