Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

'Time Bomb'


Natter 54: Right here, dammit.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All stores are closed on Sundays. You can buy 3.2 beer at gas stations and supermarkets, but nothing else.

Or, you know, drive to Hudson, WI.

Not that I did that once. It was more than once.

MST3K even made a joke about going to Hudson to get booze....

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

In CA, you can buy wine/beer/booze any damn time you want, as long as the store's open. Whoo!!

In WA, you can only buy wine and beer between 6am and 2am.

And booze only comes from the state-run stores. Which FINALLY started selling on Sundays in some locations.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Daisy, isn't Adrian married to a Chick?

As sumi said, yep. He looks awesome in uniform, and I can totally see her thinking he'd be perfect for it. I'd just never seen the thing before. It's got an all star cast with Jane Krak-Icanneverspellhername, Lauren Holly, Dennis Franz, Adrian and I forget who else.

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

I think if a store like Meijer came within 100 miles of Manhattan one or both would implode. Such convenience is like a fevered dream.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec should make that part of the sales pitch.

More booze, less bugs! California, I'm yours!

But I have no chopsticks at the office, David!

Unsharpened pencils can serve in a pinch.

Binder clips are a no-go, however. There's be nothing but little mushroom clouds of orange.

I've been enjoying the photo galleries on the Minnesota State Fair website

Everyone should go to the Minnesota State Fair at least once, if only to see the princesses sculpted in butter. The sculptures are the defining icon of the local culture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dudes, I'm totally going to watch HBO nonstop for the next 48-72 hours.

Jesse, you might want to DVR Poker After Dark this week. It's a really tough week!

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

I can't work out if I think the footwear in outfit #12 (the last one) is cheap, trampy, or just clumsy. I know that many of the sock sites show ruffly anklets with heels, but I don't like to think of anyone but Lolita-reenactors (and even then...) wearing them.

I sat up and proclaimed myself healed. And then I went into the kitchen to grab a menu so I could order myself lunch and made a liar of myself. ::yawn::

I'm fairly certain that during most of the time I lived in NM, there were drive through windows at booze stores. I remember even Albertson's having one.

Not legal, anymore, however.

Eta: Became illegal in 1998 . Huh.
