Keep breathing!

Nilly-ing request:

I just watched the video version of "Into the Woods" this weekend and liked it very much. I know there was a whole Sondheim discussion a while back, which I skipped over mostly, since I'd never seen or heard any of the shows. Can anyone point me to it now? I promise never to skip Sondheim again!

Thanks -

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

I really don't want to got to the dentist right now but I have to. Bah.

Be brave, sarameg. I'm sure it won't be as bad as all that, and at least it will be over soon.

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

What does snake taste like? I always imagine it as something like fish. I also never thought much about the taste of horse, just that I prefer animals that get less exercise.

That list of acquired tastes is weird. Talk about subjective.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

caught up on 400+ nothing to say.

stomach hurts. I prefer days off, even in hospitals to work.

I do not prefer days off in hospital to work, which is kinda sad. I have a hospital phobia that's threatening to be born, and I can't avoid the damned things.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's an eyebrow-raiser. Some of those have to do with losing your bitter tastebuds as you age.

Chicken? Actually, I think I did hear that it does from a friend who lived in Indonesia. But that could have been dog.

Calamari and octopus are acquired tastes?

I don't have an issue with how calamari and octopus taste. It's all texture. It could taste like manna from heaven and I'd be wondering why god wanted me to gag this way.

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 always thought that reptile was the archetypal "tastes like chicken" animal.

What she said. Rubbery and food should not go together.
