FIB....
Fresh in the Boat?
"FIBs" are what Cheeseheads call us Illinoisans. It stands for "fuckin' Illinois bastards/bitches". If they don't like how you're driving, you could hear "goddamn FIB!!" shouted at you as you're driving along.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The higher insurance on red cars is an urban myth.
So is the rate of traffic stops.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've got *nothing* for DisabilityNation next week. I mean, yeah, we took it up the butt in the new budget, but we *always* do that, even if things aren't that bad, so it's hard to get all "And now, as promised, a Special Comment," about that. And I hardly have crip Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha using me to work out their personal shit. I honestly considered milking the Alter FDR bio for two posts, but it is too short.

It's the transplanted Californians here in Utah, the ones who see a drift of white on the breeze and assume the Yukon Express is about to hit and that they must begin flailing in panic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, I got my hair cut yesterday. Shoulder-length messy bob. Looks pretty good, I think.
Pretty good by Scrappy standards equals one hot rockin' mess of sex appeal for us lesser mortals. Of course you look good; you're Scrappy. Mentally I amend all the "Scrappy is wise" comments with "(and hot!)" If I was starting a band, or naming a snackfood I might have to use the name "The Wisenhots (like Scrappy)." It even makes a decent prayer. "Our Scrappy, who art both wise and hot..."

Ann, that's a ferret.

When feeling kind.

Maybe things have changed. But when I was growing up, "Illinois driver" and "bad driver" meant the same thing.

We said "New Jersey driver" in Delaware. Everybody thinks they are better drivers than everybody else!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Everybody thinks they are better drivers than everybody else!
Except in Ohio. I'm pretty sure we Ohioans know that the entire world drives better than we do.
