This winter makes me wonder how more people in Scandanavian countries don't go absolutefiskly batshit and just start randomly battering things people with shoes and poles and moles and frozen otters and such. I finally fucking GET Vikings. I mean, I GET them. PILLAGE PILLAGE ARGH CABIN FEVER STUPID COLD PILLAGE BURN A MONASTERY IT'S FIRE!)
OVER. WINTER. NOW.
A hearty exchange of seasonal comments in Bitches--
Sean:HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP, I HAD FORGOTTEN WHAT REAL COLD IS LIKE.
Sorry for the asscaps.
Erin: here, have some more, Sean. We have plenty.

AND I'M NOT SORRY FOR ASSCAPS.
I PILLAGE UR MONITORS!
Zenkitty with the followup:
Why is it cold in here, I wondered. Then I realized I'd opened a window and forgotten to close it. Duh. It's freezing out there, idiot. Leo the cat is sitting in the window, pining for freedom. He does not realize freedom comes with cold feet.
Also, What Erin Said.
Enough with the winter and the snow and the cold and the despair, already!
Dang, Calli beat me to it. It may be even better without the context.
Jessica:
Heeeeeeeelp. I have no food in the house and no desire to get dressed and go outside to get food. And yet, still hungry.
javachik:
Jess, pancakes? French toast? Order in pizza?
Jessica:
Pizza would still require me to get cash first, which brings me back to the issue of pants.
Tom Scola:
There isn't a pizza place near you that takes credit cards? Domino's or something?
tommyrot:
Or a "no-pants" pizza place?
Jessica:
There's Papa John's, but for a 4th-floor walk up, I don't like to tip on a card.
Gudanov:
Papa John's will let you pay with a card when you order on-line.
ita:
I would probably still put on pants for the delivery guy.
Gudanov:
From my experience delivering pizza, I was just happy to get a tip.
ita:
No pants preference?
Gudanov:
I always wore pants when I delivered pizzas.
Perkins:
You might have gotten more tips if you hadn't.
In Natter (I literally nearly spit my drink out on the keyboard, for lo, am 12):

I will not write "that's what she said" on work orders for tenants.
tommyrot:
What was the straight line?
Aims:
Tenant reports that her lock won't slide into the hole very far.

I think you're clear on killer squid.
Also, Rosebud is a sled, and Darth Vader is whatsisname's father.
In Natter:
Jesse:
Wow. Someone just emailed me about a conference she's supposed to go to, because the materials say you have to make your hotel reservation by 3/1. She wasn't sure what to do. I suggested she call the hotel and make a reservation, using the information on the materials.
JZ:
I was not aware that you work in my office. Why haven't we gone out on a lunch date yet?
flea:
Nobody to make the reservations.
DCJensen:
I was informed by NPR yesterday that former congressperson Dick Armey's people are partly funding the Tea Party movement and trying to steer it.
Tea Party "patriots" and Dick Armey. Somehow the name fits.
