No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

That bike needs to be in the next Batman movie.

I looked at someone funny for using the term "sit bone" and he defended himself by saying it was the real term. I grant, rolls off the tongue a hell of a lot easier than ischial tuberosity. But it's nowhere near as fun to type.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

To be fair, I don't think I have ever heard the term "ischial tuberosity" at all.

Dog is my co-pilot.

On Saturday I'll be putting my first floor back together. We had to box up breakables and a gazillion CDs because we had most of the flooring on our first floor replaced today. [Link].

On Sunday I'll be matching up applicants with Labrador retrievers.

DH is on a road trip this weekend to see ballgames in Chicago and Milwaukee.

Robin, it depends on what you mean by a watch list. There are lists of SDNs (Specially Designated Nationals) that are both individuals and entities who have been declared as or being investigated for funding/working with terrorists: [link]

Bobbi, that floor is gorgeous!

Thanks, sarameg. We've been in this house for 21 years, and someday it'll be the way I want it! I just keep sitting on my living room couch staring at the floors. Of course I notice every speck of dirt, every piece of dog hair, and every drop of drool/water. I need to teach my dogs to dry their mouths after drinking. And they need to stop shedding now. Oh, and no more toenail growth.

ETA: I'll get over the OCD thing fairly soon. I do, after all, live with 4 dogs and one human male.

How prevalent is "sit bone" as a common term for ischial tuberosity?

I've heard it in Pilates a lot.

Holy cow.

MsScribe posted a very long explanation of the Great SockPuppet Debacle, then got fandomwanked, then deleted it. Someone on FW kindly summarized it, though.

Oy.

Ahaha. Yes. Whether it is a freshly washed car, a clean shirt when feeding a baby, freshly washed windows...those first few bits of dirt drive you batshit.

I had a friend who always threw a rock at her car bumper everytime she got a brand new one. Her logic was that as long as she controlled the first ding, she wouldn't flip out over the following ones. Think she's goofy, but whatever works.

Today I a) got a wedding invite from a hs friend who found me on the internet and b) while boredly googling, found the flickr site of a college friend I'd l drifted from and found out she's married with stepkids and due in October. Whoa.
