'Lineage'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's the same insurance company that I currently have. I wonder if I can just call and ask?
Noah has been king of the bodily fluids today. 30 minutes before I left for my interview, he pooped all over himself, the couch and me (in my interview clothes). It was typical and somewhat expected, but seriously.
Hey, my power animal is the Naked Mole Rat! Sweet!
Woah! That is so cool.
That's not fair! I got giant octopus but wanted naked mole rat, or, if possible, the three toed sloth.
I would've been very happy with the giant octopus myself. Smartest invertebrates in the world and all that. Though the three-toed sloth would be excellent too. You have algae growing on you!
ita, that comic led me to this one, which sent me into gales of laughter that I can't explain to the co-workers.
This is the one that set me off: [link]
I've also sent email to Someone I Know Who Is Very Famous, because Pete told me that I HAD TO let that person know about the Yahoo thing.
Is it Neil Gaiman? I think Neil Gaiman should know.
I thought I was being adventurous and enjoying sushi until I found out I was just eating the pickled ginger.
I like sushi, but still think pickled ginger is the best part. And I'm not even all that fond of ginger. Never tried pickled okra. The thing is, I can't stand the texture of okra. Does pickling get rid of the slime ? (Whitefonted for my own squick factor. I don't know about anyone else's.)
Yes pickling gets rid of that! Pickled okra is my number two all time favorite Bloody Mary garnish. (Pickled green beans are #1.)
Hmmm. That may be worth trying then. If I ever see it, I'll give it a try.
Is it Neil Gaiman? I think Neil Gaiman should know.
Yes, yes it was. Heaven only knows if or when Neil will see the email, but I did send it.
Jilli! Congrats on the Yahoo thing. That's really cool.
Also, hi.
Chiming in late: oh yes that yahoo article on Gothic Charm School was excellent. My favorite part was the defining of snarkling especially "mischievously affectionate". I want all my friends to be snarklings! Oh wait... I think they already are.
Yes pickling gets rid of that!
Yes, it does! Also, fried okra doesn't have that, either, so you might like it fried.
There's a coffee shop near me that has take-out Ethiopian food at lunchtime. Their menu has three options: beef, chicken, and vegetable. I order the "vegetable," and for $6, get whatever four or five vegetables they decided to make that day, in big enough portions to last for at least two meals.
