Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

My foreman grill (which I use rarely) can basically handle one of the steriod sized chicken breasts or a couple of hamburger patties smooshed close. It's only a little bigger than a generous slice of bread.

I use the triangle for "change" in my notes and people were confused - it is a total misues, but good shorthand. ? Monkey to Ape in line 3. see. easy.

Related (only in that this is b.org and I am talking about my office) - I was eating cheetos today with chopsticks and EVERYONE was all WHA?!?!

George Foreman grills: I think mine is that size or a little (not a lot) bigger. I think it could handle 3 normal or 1.5 steroid chicken breasts, three burgers smooshed close together (never four though) - two good sized pork chops - the kind where each chop serves two.

I use [the symbol I don't know how to make on the board] all the time but not many people would get it, I don't think.

That cheetos and chopsticks thing is the best idea. Except I think I'm eating more cheetos now.

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

I could handle two or three pork chops on my Foreman grill, and should handle at least one soon.

I used to yse a lot of mathematical shortcuts in my note taking--"for all," "therefore," "there is/exists," etc.

Now I try and avoid writing.

Alright. Stressy meeting to attend...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That's hysterical, Steph. I wish the pigeons could be trained to poop on command.

I'm starting to suspect that they are.

My Foreman Grill is the size that would handle 2 small/medium hamburger patties smooshed close.

I use all sorts of math shorthand in my notes. Have since I learned them.

Holy shit, I just checked the baseball score. The lead has changed hands several times and now San Diego has just tied it up 6-6 in the 8th.

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

The whole Delta thing makes me happy, like I finally get something by virtue of the fact that I am a nerd.
