It comes form the Nixon "Checkers" speech, IIRC. He was reacting to allegations of kickbacks by saying his wife, Pat, didn't wear a mink, but a good Republican cloth coat.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hooray for peasants!
Bwah! Cracks me up.
My family heritage is that of supporting the "wrong" side of things. Sided with Bonny Prince Charlie, fought for the British in the Revolution (even though they lived in Massachusetts), that sort of thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think moist things, by definition, are not crusty. You only get crustiness when you dry things out. Hence the difference between pie dough and pie.
Pie is a bit different from dried out pie dough, otherwise we could skip the heating part.
However, I have no problem imagining crusty on the outside and moist on the inside. I like variety in texture. Maybe like an uber-rare steak, bleeding on the inside, but seared on the outside.
Dammit. I need lunch NOW. I've managed to take myself from grossed out to ravenous.

Warwak, a former fishing guide, said he became a vegan in January.
Oh, so it's like that guy who just quit smoking and is high on the whole thing.
Man, the recently converted are unbelievably annoying when it comes to evangelism.

Can you have moist crusty cockles?
Sure, except for the part where I have an irrational dislike of the word 'moist.' My ventricles. My punkass ventricles. Let me... not show you them.

I forgot what thread I was in for a second and found myself thinking "No, Teppy didn't evangelise...or did she, and I missed it?"

Teppy didn't evangelize, she just honestly and articulately shared. I thought that was very cool.

My sister started doing some preliminary genealogy, but didn't get very far. It doesn't help that my family are of the sacrifice the truth for the sake of a good story school. What I know is that I am primarily French and Irish (The first Ozon came to St. Pierre in 1799.) and quite newly admitted, a little Mi'kmaq. There are rumors that my French side were once Jewish, but I file that under good story.

I have an irrational dislike of the word 'moist.'
It's not irrational. The word moist is starling onomatopoeic.
I like the soft inside, crunchy outside cookies myself.
