No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Not to change the subject, but, um.

Um.

Huh.

[Oh lordy, I hadn't even gotten to all the pearl-clutching in the comments before I posted that. Dudes, the blog is called Slashfood. You had to guess they would go there eventually.]

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Um indeed.

I'm thinking about the logistics of supplying that ingredient.

I'm not going to even bother to um: Ack! Ack!

Some things are not ingredients.

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

pearl-clutching

They're clutching their pearl necklaces, you mean?

Ginger, there are some tips on page 16.

I'm not going to take up that kind of cuisine; I just am imagining scenes like, "Here, honey. Take this cup. I'm busy cooking."

eta: Thanks, Jessica, for taking one for the team and reading that far.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ew.

Huh. The 1912 hygiene book was already warning about the dangers of lead paint.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We had that here already! I can't imagine it's serious.

Interesting. This book, which was written for jr. high or high school kids about to enter the workforce, has a whole lot of safety suggestions that really only make sense to give to the factory owners. Stuff like putting safety shields on the machines, or making sure the building has enough fire escapes. That's not really stuff that's under the workers' control.
