One of my uncles was supposedly given guinness as a substitute, but considering he isn't pickled, it must've been mixed in with something or boiled or just a crazy story. (This was 65+ years ago.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I mean, they were extremely stupid, but....
Stupid jail. I'm just saying.
Stupid and hopefully heartbroken. But I'm not reading any more to find out.
There are shades of vegan, I think. Some will eat honey, some won't. I'm not sure if there are other borderline foods.
We have some vegan friends--they're absolutely the most fun to tease. Especially the guy, who has VEGAN tattooed in v. large letters on his leg. They invited us out for raw food, and it was miserable and frustrating and made me want to toast a cow in the outdoor heating thingies. Fucking cold food.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Bleah. I have developed a sore throat. Ah, well, things could be worse...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Ummmm....yeah. You did. I would bet you didn't mean to, but that doesn't negate the fact that you did.

I'm trying to think of an outfit for a wedding I may go to in a few weeks. I have a million pretty things, but have outgrown most of them. So I'm constructing something. I want a top to wear with a dark red waist-cincher corset and a black skirt (skirt TBD, since I have to see what fits first). It's a daytime wedding, and although I have a picture of a blousey feminine (long sleeve?) blouse in mind, I can't find it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My stepdad likes to tell the tale of his brother being an infant during WWII, and unable to take cow's milk. Apparently goat's milk wasn't rationed, but driving all the way to where the goats were (or their milk was sold), on the gasoline rations of an ordinary family, was rather a problem. (I think they lived in DC at the time.)
Not that goats are vegan. They eat tin cans! Who knows what else they would eat.

ita, what color of blouse? White? Black? Take a look at the Newport News site; they have a bunch of cute blouses right now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wonder if babies would be as happy in space as they are when swimming....
Ooh - and imagine all the cute little spacesuits you could make them wear!

Oh, nice, Daisy! The first two are along the lines in my imagination--can't have too fussy a bodice, since it's going to be swallowed by the underbust corset.
Jilli, I guess I was thinking white, since black would be too much with the black skirt for daytime (not for me--I'm being considerate here, and it's kinda weird) and I'm not up to colour matching the corset.
Oh! It was you that linked to that Newport News equestrian coat, wasn't it? I ended up buying it. There's no way in hell I'm ever doing up those hooks in front, and I really wish the pockets were real, but otherwise it's a kick.

Oh, their poor deprived musculoskeletal development!
