Finished reading the article, bon.
Me, too, and... huh. It helped clarify where a lot went wrong in my (first) marriage.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Now tagless for your comfort.
The funniest thing about that post is that when I was in Kent, I went to a restaurant where they had "pussy pie" on the menu. We had to order it, of course. We were laughing so hard the waitress had to ask twice.
I saved the receipt because I knew nobody would believe me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The plagiarism accusation has been fixed...sort of.
My neighborhood is on fire. Again.
News is not specific.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I read that it was banked out, paperdol, but they were advising Observatory guests to leave.
Yeah, not that specific either.
I hate that the NY Times pluralises acronyms and initialisms with an apostrophe, and my hand twitches to delete the errant stroke. But this I have to admit I don't know how to make right. I just know it's wrong.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
He was scolded for his stubborn insistence on drawing a two-tiered lowercase “a.”
Jesus.
Uh, that sounded like I was responding to ita's difficulty, not the "NYT"'s.

Hey shrift and Jilli - did you see Idolator ranked Patrick Stump as the second-hottest dude in music?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had an awesome evening of simple pleasures, so I will share. Left work, had Burger King, got a hair cut (got sprayed with water during the shampoo, but even that was mostly funny), went to Trader Joe's where there was not much of a line and a former coworker (the only person I ever run into in NYC), saw a man in a suit playing the digeridoo in the subway station, and then my train pulled up right as I got on the platform. Now I'm eating almonds with dark chocolate and sea salt, which are DELISH. Lovely!

Related: I was walking in Chelsea to meet someone for drinks on Saturday night and I heard a horn, and it was approaching. I turned and saw... a shirtless guy, rollerskating down the street, playing a trumpet. Ah, New York!

On one of my two visits to New York, I rode the Staten Island Ferry and then hung out outside the ferry terminal to contemplate the Manhattan skyline for a while. (Why didn't I take my camera on that trip, why, why, why)
As I'm leaning on the balustrade, I hear footsteps behind me and glance around. There, escaped from a full color painting, was an elderly Chinese gentleman in a long orange tunic, pale green loose trousers, a brownish coat, slippers, a small round black hat, and a leather satchel over his shoulder. His beard and moustache were long and perfectly white.
He gave me a very stern look for a few seconds, then continued on his way.
