At least that's what she thinks, anyway....
Nobody wants to live in cat utopia. Not even cats. (They're bad planners.)
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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

I don't need to go to a con to get my boobs groped in a purely platonic, yet annoyingly needy, way. I have kids.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My co-secretary was competing in the dessert category of the grilled cheese contest. My got to taste test. She did ricotta stuffed into bread dipped in honey and cinnamon, topped with berries. It was surprisingly delicious. Low, she did not win.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just recently I tasted ricotta purposefully for the first time. I'd had it plenty before but just because it was an ingredient. I'd never paid attention. But the low tyramine diet leaves one with pretty much cream cheese and ricotta, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Really liked it, until I bought my second tub. Which was gross. What a difference a brand can make. I'm not going to be wandering far afield.
My home Vista installation won't let me update the U3 Launchpad on my password protected stick, and my work XP install won't run the Launchpad installer program period.
Why must the bits and bytes conspire against me so? Aren't my breasts good enough?

Your breasts are fine. (Possibly, foine, but that's not what I mean.) It's Vista. Vista sucks. (But not your breasts.)

That sounds delicious, Allyson. I used to sneak a spoonful or two of ricotta when my mom made lasagne. Mmm. Hadn't thought about that in a long time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wha?
The traditional subject of the tug of war over language and perception is color. Because languages divide the spectrum differently, researchers have asked whether language affected how people see color. English, for example, distinguishes blue from green. Most other languages do not make that distinction. Is it possible that only English speakers really see those colors as different?
I'm pretty sure there are different words for blue and green in French. [quote is from NYTimes article]

Unrelated to questions of color perception and language, pitching batting practice has aggravated my knees so that the inside of each knee is feeling hot and itchy and like some kind of -itis. (inside here meaning the right side of my left knee and the left side of my right knee. You know, the parts that almost touch when doing the Charleston.) What part of my knees have I offended?
It can't be the ACL 'cuz that's anterior and presumably in the front.
