Punishingly Intricate

sarameg, I think if you have to pick one of those and none are what you'd really want, pick the one you'd be most likely able to regift with a good conscience.

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

Oh well, maybe next time Burell

Dude, we've got audio and video and pictures AND the feather boas.

Is this in your LJ?

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 worked as a temp in BofA's fraud department once. It was fun reading some of the cases. It seemed most causes of fraud were boyfriends, sons or grandsons of the card holder stealing the card and using it. Quite often the card was, say, in a checkbook that had the PIN number written down on it.

My fave cases were the ones where the cardholder knew who stole the card, but refused to testify against them or file a police report. BofA would not refund money stolen from the account in these cases.

I really need to assemble another one to demonstrate what he's been up to lately, which involves nudity, bondage, and playing a wicked game of gay chicken.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Next time will probably be around Xmas/New Years, maybe Presidents Day. I'm guessing, but we usually try to go up there for a visit around the start of the year.

I should still be here then.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Is this man cheating on his wife?

Maybe not cheating cheating, but he sure as hell isn't present in the marriage, except inasmuch as his actual physical carcass is sharing physical space with his physical wife. In every other way, he sounds way more invested in his Second Life marriage.

Can you ask for a nice card and a gift certificate to some place like trader joes or target instead?

Newp, though I'm of the same mind. There's also a digital camera I don't want even though mine broke because I am just that picky. I think it is between the globe (because, come on, I love them and am seriously unlikely to purchase one for myself, n) or the bowl. Which is pretty and takes up less space. hmm.

I really wonder who puts these lists together.
