You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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

*Should read "Wasn't legal for me to, but I was dating/dated most of the bartenders, so what are you gonna do?

A friend of mine used to hang out with our circle at a bar a block away from the coop I lived in. Several of the bartenders also lived there. They all knew my friend was underage, and they'd sneak her out the back door if a cop came in.

When she turned 21, the bartender loudly announced to everyone that it was her 21st birthday and she was now legal! Everyone in the bar cheered and applauded.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Boris Becker. Blond in my book. Not sure what strawberry means.

I could drink legally--well, almost all my wanting-to-drink life, because of growing up in London and going to university in Quebec. I was shocked by the underage drinking culture I saw in Michigan--not necessarily that they drank more than we did at the same age, but it was all covert and held higher risks of drinking and driving.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Made with Everclear, which was illegal in Ohio, so people would drive to Indiana to buy it, along with beer at low low Indiana prices.)

It was only fair since Hoosiers had to drive to Ohio to buy beer on Sunday.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I dated my first bartender at 17. Occasionally they would have me run errands or work the door. Some of my HS friends were not happy when they showed up with their brand new fake i.d.'s

Art Crawl!!!

There are an appalling number of shows that I loved on this list of shows that were cancelled too soon.

“Not dead yet!”

Homefront. I still miss that show and on occasion, break into Ac-cet-chu-ate the Positive, just because...

Also: young and pretty Kyle Chandler. And John Slattery in one of the best roles ever.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Is that the EW list, sumi? Because Firefly is conspicuously absent.

Does anyone use Credo Mobile? They will buy out contracts so I thought I might switch.

I think so, but Drive is on it and so is Wonderfalls - also Angel.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

John Slattery in one of the best roles ever.

OHMYFREAKINGGOD

Yes, I only just made that connection. Damn, I haven't thought about that show in forever and it was one of the best.

Blond in my book. Not sure what strawberry means.

Strawberry = reddish blond, or blondish red. He looks like a pale blond with a lot of warmth in the color, going more gingery as he ages, but I'd still file him just this side of what I think of as strawberry blond.
