don’t need a spork

She's so badass she can spork you without a spork. It's a like a zen koan.

How does one spork without spork?
Vortex.

Yeah, on public transportation I see a lot of men take up space from the seat next to theirs in addition to their own.

I gotta say, in San Francisco, while there are plenty of space-taking men, women are far more likely to spread out with their gym bag and other gear taking up two seats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just plop my ass down. Plenty of space!

ION, WTF is wrong with me? My boss just called me, and I knew it was her, and I picked up anyway! It turned out OK, though -- and I have had random feelings that maybe I ought to be one of the people she calls at all hours. She was calling to scream about the insane comment a senior manager made in an all-staff meeting along the lines of "this is why I'm not hiring any more people with kids!" Obviously, she was kidding, but STILL. (Formerly full-time at-home mother started working for her on Monday, didn't come back on Tuesday.)

Ooh, you know who else I HATE? The enormous backpack people! Take off your fucking backpacks, people!!

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?

Why is it that a righteously indignant Jesse = comedy gold for me? I usually agree with her, but she amuses me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The other day I was on the 5 going uptown at 5:30-- rush hour city. The guy next to me? NOT ONLY were his legs spread way open, and he was leaning at angle, but he he had a chain wallet-- and the chain was spread out next to him, taking up EVEN MORE SPACE! He and his damn wallet chain had two spots!

This is why I prefer the trains with delineated seats. Sometime you have to sit on the rise, but for the most part people can't take up two spots.

That's one of my big pet peeves.

He and his damn wallet chain had two spots!

If you'd brought a nail gun you could've stapled his chain to the seat and left him there to ride the trains in perpetuity.

Because pissed-off cowgirls = funny?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The guys with their legs spread wide are really leaving themselves vulnerable to a move that'd make them involuntarily pull their knees together. IJS

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've taken to quietly telling krav instructors and students who are irritating me "Your groin is open, by the way."

It usually is.

Maybe I can extend that to strangers. And then if they talk back, cockpunch.

Is getting more space really worth being booked on assault & battery charges?
