the only kind of swing that's no fun to play on
I suspect a Swingline stapler wouldn't be much fun to play on. Can be fun to play with, though.

[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has anyone in Natter warned Jilli not to read xkcd?
Nope. When I posted the link to today's xkcd in Natter, I assumed it was stick-figure-cartoony enough to not warrant a Jilli warning.
What do folks think - should I edit in a warning to my post in Natter for this? [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I found it kinda creepy, even though not photorealistic -- and I actually like the jillifonted things.

He's really funny when there's something on the stove. He starts sniffing the whole house looking for the thing that smells good.
Oh good lord I made a pot roast a few weeks ago and the dog was so worked up I seriously thought I was going to have to kill her. She started out doing the walking around sniffing, then proceeded to whimpering, the the high pitched whine, and by the time the damn thing was done she was practically vibrating she was desperate to run that smell to ground. Never. again. Not while we're both in the house at any rate.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I now have a concept for a playground entirely themed around office supplies. A paperclip slide! A Swingline see-saw! A swing of those balls that knock into each other that comes with the executive desk!
BRILLIANCE, I TELL YOU.

A Swingline see-saw!
As long as it doesn't actually stick giant staples into anyone caught underneath.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
there was something about the color of the xkcd spiders that I found particularly creepy.

I love you people. I really do. (No, I'm not going to go read today's xkcd, just to be safe.)

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Because The Boy is a vegetarian, when I made pot roast, the dogs were beside themselves. I fed them a few scraps of really fatty parts, and I think it might have been the best moment of their lives.
Only now they seem to expect it, and act really bummed when my dinner is cereal.
t edit Seriously? The Dalmatian just walked over and licked my arm and walked away. Do they sit around and discuss whether The Humans are edible?
