[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.

Thrive to spite them

I guess I think of UF being the bigger rivalry because it's closer and I've grown up with more trash talking between UF and FSU rather than FSU and Miami.

My neighbors are having a screaming argument with a food delivery guy. I think that they think they already paid with a credit card, and the delivery guy says that his records say that they're supposed to pay cash, and now everybody's yelling at each other.

No, wait. Delivery guy shouted "Fine!" and stomped off, and neighbors slammed the door (as they always do, even when they're not mad.) I wonder whether he left the food or not.

“Not dead yet!”

I still have memories of wet green paint sticking to the seat and legs of my uniform the year that UM decided they needed to paint the bleachers where the band would be sitting.

The day before the game.

With Miami humidity? Right.

Of course, Gainesville is where the tires to my car got slashed.

No real love for either team.

We're home and finally watching last night's Mad Men.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Suddenly my sinuses are completely blocked. Even though I took a decongestant fifteen minutes ago. WTF?

Random wikipedia-clicking has informed me that, according to botanists, neither almonds, cashews, nor Brazil nuts are actually nuts. Macadamia nuts seem valid, but some types of walnuts are questionable.

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

What's not nutty about almonds and cashews? We eat the fruit around cashews and almonds and as kids ignored the nutty potential. Perhaps we were right all along.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Macadamia nuts seem valid

And tasty! And the only native Australian crop to achieve any sort of large-scale cultivation.
