Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I'm glad he wasn't an axe murderer. But really how many axe murderers hang around Costco?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Glad to hear Owen's surgery went well.

I am heading home early. Gonna let the kids play at the school playground instead of subjecting Frances to the afterschool program.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

it was a plot point in a musical I just saw that the bad guy had a Costco membership, but he wasn't an ax murderer, just gun-totin'.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am also glad he wasn't an axe murderer! There are probably fewer gun-toters at Costco in NY than elsewhere, I'd imagine...

That's a good bet.

Yeah, I would have been doomed to one day think "Boy Jesse hasn't posted in a really long time."

Edit: Not to make it all about me. I realize that your getting axe murdered would be a suboptimal outcome for you too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

it was a plot point in a musical I just saw that the bad guy had a Costco membership, but he wasn't an ax murderer, just gun-totin'.

I just had to see that again. There's no part of that statement that I don't love.

I, too, am glad Jesse's ride wasn't an axe murderer.

And I'm so, so very glad that everything went well for Owen!

Oh yeah, Yay Owen!!

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

The cracking thing sets off my cutesy-etymology spidey sense.

It's always seemed synonymous with Georgia/Florida poor white although in North and Central Florida, at least, "cracker" denotes native-born, with no negative connotation.

I think cracker always refers to rural Southerners, with an implication of a lack of sophistication and conservative and sometimes racists views. There is a real theory that cracker came from whip cracking, but it was the whips of the some of the early settlers of North Florida/South Georgia, who were essentially cowboys raising cattle for meat on semi-unclaimed land. The slave thing is just nonsense. Even if true, the whip crackers were usually overseers, who were hardly rich.
