Natter's been all about food today....
Hil R.:
I just made some brownies from a mix. (Yeah, yeah, I know. But I had the mix, and felt like having brownies, so it seemed logical.) From the directions: "Pour into an 8" by 8" pan." From the nutrition facts: "Serving size: 2-inch square brownie. Servings per container: about 11." I'm puzzled.
Raquel:
Just wait 'till you see the New Math they use on the calorie counts.
beth b:
obviously math and brownies do not belong together
Boxed Set's making me laugh today:
ita: He's a great leader, sentimentally pragmatic. It's like he shaves with Occam's razor, and uses fairy dust for aftershave.
ita again, in Great Write, I can't figure out how to include context, but the line is funny without it I think:
Now you're going to make them all go out and buy birds out of guilt.
I found this incredibly funny for some reason. Plus, I love everything Miracleman has to say.
Astarte:
FWIW, posting Tim's letter on the Firefly board has yielded a Nielsen box connection. (One of the posters' sisters.)
So, you never know who's going to be on the other end of that modem.
MiracleMan:
"He's dialing-up from inside the house! Get OUT!"
Laura, on finding out the definition of bukake:
Usually I am grateful to learn something new everyday. Other days, not so much.
Catching up in Natter and had to re-share this:
DXMachina: Story of my life. Some guy shows up with a moldy burrito, and I get dumped faster than yesterday's guacamole...
La Tep: Oh, not dumped -- didn't I make it clear I was going to be a great big multiple-seekrit-boyfriend-having ho? 'Cause I am.
Sean K: I'm good with that.
Trudy Booth : you aren't the best at the sekrit part...
Buffista LifeLesson 14b: Do not eat dinner while surfing even fairly innocuous-looking natter, lest ye be gargling soup. Here endeth (cough, splurtle) the lesson.

Look upon our Empress and despair. And be glad you're not her neighbor.
It's a crab ass day in my neighborhood, a crab ass day for a neighbor. Won't they fuck off? Can't they fuck off? I have always wanted to kill a neighbor, just like you. I've always wanted to rid the neighborhood...of you! So...let's make the most of this crabby ass day! Since we're together, I might as well say.... Won't you fuck off? Can't you fuck off? I don't want you as my neighbor!
In Jossverse in Other Media. It's funny because it's true.
Victor:
Making fans squirm with anticipation is Joss' mutant power.
Trudy:
And naming people Bill.
Hil R:
Whenever I'm at home, my mother will start asking me things five minutes after I wake up, like "I'm going to the grocery store, you said you were going to make eggplant parmesan for dinner tonight, how many eggplants do you want me to buy?" and I'll just blink at her, trying to remember what "gro-cer-ee-stoh" is.
