Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tom,
Those have to be the most toxic people in the U.S. I got hives just watching that shit. Gordon Ramsay needs an award for dealing with them as long as he did. After 60 minutes, I would have bailed.

Because books.
That Buzzfeed piece is a thing of beauty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am fortunately in a house that no longer has cable, because I watched a few episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, and this whole thing of restaurant owners who are convinced that Yelp is a giant conspiracy against them -- kind of a running thing.

To be fair, Yelp does have a history of shaking down restaurant owners for money in exchange for not filtering out positive reviews. (Or at least, a history of being suspected/accused of such behavior.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
FTR I just watched last night's SYTYCD and read Kat's post to bob bob right after. Loved it! Those recaps are essential reading.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I love Tyrone the tapper.
