Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I not only wish you lots of sales, I wish I could be there, not the least because IIRC we're mostly the same size.

I'm pretty amused by how often my RSS Twitter feed matches up with the LOLCat pictures in this mashup feed:

Ha! According to a friend's LJ, this showed up on a mailing list for local costumers:

There are a lovely group of Greenwood Goths I know having a Yard Sale, with many clothes/costumes and accessories Sunday, August 26th starting at 2 pm (they ARE creatures of the night, after all, and can't be expected to get going until they've have their morning (i.e. 1pm) coffee).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's really funny.

Me too -- I would love to rummage!

Random question: is there anything you can substitute for Marsala in a recipe? The recipe I'm looking at is a pork and mushroom dealie. I just can't see buying a whole bottle when I want to use a couple of tablespoons.

Hmmm. Maybe a dry sherry?

Yeah, I don't have that, either. What I have in the house that might be relevant is regular wine, dry vermouth, tawny port (assuming that a bottle would last forever in my fridge), and I think that's it. I guess I could bite the bullet and buy one of these recipe liquors.

Jesse, I'd try the port.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Of what you've got, the port will be the closest (and there's no need to refrigerate port -- the extra alcohol is there to preserve it.)
