Cashmere: Aren't all chaps assless? Otherwise, wouldn't they be pants?
Jesse: I think you only call chaps "assless" when there are no jeans under them.
Cashmere: Of course, in that case, there is ASS! The term is verra misleading.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
In Bitches, on the word "problematized":

What a great Friday! I just got this feedback on a presentation I did in class (appropriately enough on tagging, blogs, wikis, and participation inequality [thanks, Jessica!]):
Looking at my notes, you did very well. You brought in outside readings, engaged the readings, problematized the topic, and provided good analysis. We don't have hard-coded grades yet, but based on my notes, you received high marks.

Is this a real word??vw bug
Yup.Gloomcookie
From Websters: To propose problems.Topic!Cindy
It's no woobify.ChiKat
Woobify is a perfectly fine word. Problematized hurts my head.
Ginger
So is "solutionatize" a word?
Steph L.
Sounds perfectly cromulent to me.
Polter-Cow
If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the precipitatizing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Teppy, in Bitches:
I just answered a question about Catholic paraphernalia, and then a pony play question.
There's something so deeply wrong about that.
And so wonderfully right.

Now tagless for your comfort.
From Natter: Don't let a question go unasked--especially when shrift and coffee are involved.
shrift:
Now I have coffee in my eye.
Steph:
....how?
shrift:
A rogue droplet of coffee forced itself out of the tiny little airhole in the lid and vengefully flung itself into my eye, howling, "FREEEEEEEEDOM!"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
