I look more rad than Lutheranism

it's an unwritten rule that the porn friend gets to keep said porn.

I never gave it much thought until recently, but people who are serious about their kinky/fetish-y stuff tend to have sunk a LOT of $$$ into paraphernalia and whatnot. Some friends of mine frequently remind me that they want their kinky stuff going to good homes, to people who will appreciate and use the stuff, because they're afraid that their family might either take it all to the dump or to Goodwill.

A fetisheritance, if you will.

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

But I'm sure Goodwill could stand to have their fetish departments improved.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The whole "safety drill" was really a prank.

Just when I think people couldn't get more stupid....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's about to storm here, so we've opened all the window shades to watch it come in. I *love* the Chrysler building in bad weather. It's just so freaking beautiful.

So is the Chrysler building now the second-tallest building in NYC?

It's probably my favoritest skyscraper evah....

One of my guilty thoughts on 9/11 was, "Somewhere, an Empire State Building fan is muttering quietly, 'we're number one again.'" I may have been that fan, I confess.

We're about to be hit with the tail of the same storm.

Wanna see something cool? [link]

I think so -- at least, I can't think of anything other than the ESB that's taller. [eta: And Wikipedia agrees, but apparently it's tied with the NYT building.]

These clouds are moving fast!

That's just freaky that the two tallest buildings were made in 1931 and 1930.
