I'm tempting fate by eating a gloopy peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich while wearing a white top.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm just annoyed with many things today, and I think I would burn off a lot of tension by punching someone in the throat.
Can you come out to Palo Alto? I have a GREAT candidate for you.
Oh, oh, I want to punch someone in the throat too!
The list of people needing punches is long.
{{sj}} Join the club of at fault accident folks. It has happened to me more than once. Part of driving. I need a driver. Handsome and personable would be nice. And not my son.
{{{sj}}} Me three, or four, or whatever number we're up to by now: several stupid, stupid fender benders, while doing things like backing out of a parking space, just because I was distracted and stressed out. Hec rolls his eyes at me for sometimes opting for public transit with Matilda instead of driving, but I'm just so very large with the vehicular self-doubt. You're so very much not alone.
Oh, oh, I want to punch someone in the throat too!
Come visit!
I don't have fender-benders. Fender-benders involve other cars and are entirely understandable. No, I tend to drive into large, stationary objects which any idiot could see.

Thanks, everyone. I just took a nap at Mom's and am feeling better enough to drive home.
Scrappy, ftr it was a large stationary item. A large stationary car directly behind me.
Paging Teppy:
One of my bosses is now trusting me to do some proofreading of his MS's before submitting them to journals. I'm doing my best to make them internally consistent (all references listed in the same format; consistent bolding, italicizing, or whatever through the document) and, since they mostly have to be submitted electronically, to strip out all the weird fonts and accidental hyperlinks and random tabs or hanging first lines and all the other formatting excrescences that crop up when stuff is typed by people who don't actually, well, type.
Is there more Shit That Drives Editors Bugfuck I should be looking out for before I hit the "send" button?
By the by....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SONUSEXMACHINA!!!
