It only makes men gay.

Sure, but we can just ungay by shooting an animal. It's true, I saw it on The Simpsons.

I thought the whole point of the 1970s was the discovery that crunchy-granola lefties are just not with-it enough to create any kind of vast conspiracy?

It's really easy to blame ELF for pretty much anything, because there is no organized ELF. There's some vague national organization, but pretty much any bunch of people can get together and say they're an ELF cell, without any sort of contact with the national organization. So bunch of people torch a new development and spray paint "ELF" on the gate, that's part of the "conspiracy," even if they didn't have any contact at all with anyone else about what they were doing. And then all of those incidents get added up to a conspiracy conviction for the national people who didn't actually do, or possibly even know of, most of the acts in the conspiracy charge.

(The SHAC 7 is the big case with this right now, since it also involves the Animal Enterprise Protection Act, which basically gives much harsher penalties for crimes like vandalism when they're committed against businesses that use animals.)

I pretty much stick to the natural peanut butter, the kind with just peanuts and salt

I get the Adam's No-Stir, the kind with just a smidge of Evil!Fat to make it shelf-stable. I got tired of dealing with the natural kind, especially now that AB is making her own PB crackers and sandwiches. But sweetened PB tastes wrong to me now.

Can't you just picture packs of berries roaming through Susan's backyard, growling and baring their teeny pointed teeth?

If you saw me after picking them, you'd think that's what they looked like! Serious thorns on those things.

The new place doesn't have a bank of berries in the backyard, though there are a few mixed in with the ivy growing over the fence between us and our neighbors. But it's never hard to find the feralberries to pick around these parts in late August or early September.

Now, anyone know the answer for Indianapolis? (Travel time from airport to downtown, taxi, no luggage.)

If meara doesn't answer for sure, I think it's like 15-20 minutes, but I'm not 100% sure...

I love it when people do rude things and then stare you down like you're the one who ought to apologize.

OK, so I'd thought of Mike Huckabee as being a decent human being whom I just happened to disagree with on pretty much every political issue.

I changed my mind: [link]

Adam's peanut butter FTW.

I read this as Adam's peanut butter fut the whuck.

I love "feralberries". Brilliant.

Two words. Wayne Dumond.

That's pretty much the dealieo with Al Quaida too, isn't it?

I'd say probably more like 20 minutes than 15...depends a little on what part of downtown, and how many one way streets you have to go around and around to get to where you're going.
