Okay, It's barely into day one of giving up chocolate for Lent and all I can think about is chocolate.

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.

The vice-president has to be somebody who could fill the office of president and he has already had two terms and more than that isn't allowed.
I believe the 22nd amendment only says you can't be "elected" to the office twice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
have you ever wanted to get US citizenship?
Not really, no. Of course, there was a time where it was (or seemed it was) a requirement that I lose Jamaican citizenship, and that's not up for discussion.
I'd feel weird being a US citizen, because my ideas of citizenship are very broken, broken by dint of not living at "home" since I was 11.
She went to my doctor and he presribed 90 (90!!) vicodin. BUH? WHA?
Jaysus. I've had doctors who were generous, but not that much.
The amount of medicine tolerated is so incredibly variable that it's hard to tell. Apparently my starting dose of dilaudid IV would kill a horse. But I'm not getting acclimated to this morphine as quickly as that might imply. Then again I heard a rumour that I'm started right out at horse-killing dosage of that anyway.
I am going to come off it, because the side effects are too much, and doc's going to taper me off. I need to find out how bad withdrawal is, because I want off quick.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
What's the word for an argument that has far too many variables or steps of logic to be credible? Tenuous doesn't sound right, but it's close.

Specious.

I would say "shitty," but that's kind of the umbrella term for a whole lot of arguments.

Specious isn't quite what I mean. What I am describing (to the client, so shitty doesn't work) is an argument by one party where they have to show all sorts of things that are highly disputed in order to make their point-- [edited out of an abundance of work caution] "As you can see from this description, this argument is extraordinarily [tenuous, I guess]."

How is this a well-titled cemetery? I mean, I know the source of the name isn't what immediately comes to mind, but still--that's part of the problem.
Looming large deadline moved two weeks. Doesn't ease up the tension one bit.

I would say that the argument is a house of cards, but I'm sure there's a better term for it out there.
