It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Waste of marshmallows, if you ask me.

That is what I think everytime I see one. Waste of yummy yummy marshmallows.

That picture of Orly Taitz is very disturbing. I looked at it and thought, "Is that a wig? And why is she doing her eye makeup like the Olsen Twins do?"

edit: The comments say her family is a Jewish one from Eastern Europe. All I know of those traditions are from reading My Name is Asher Lev, and from what I remember it was traditional for the women to wear wigs. Am I remembering wrong?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Mmmm, marshmallows. I need to get some to have at work - I already have hot chocolate.

I now want to do a lifecycle and environmental cost analysis on Nerf guns vs. marshmallow guns. Reusable usually if not always trumps, assuming the item is used long enough.

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

It's traditional for religious married women to wear wigs in some of those communities, but I don't think that she's religious.

Edit: in the picture, she's wearing a short-sleeved shirt. I don't know of anybody who would wear a wig for religious reasons who would also wear short sleeves. Plus, she grew up in Eastern Europe, and there were almost no observant communities there at that time.

My brother is conducting an experiment with marshmallows. Well, he & the kids are. Left some out on his back deck. Since August. Still recognizable, despite rain and snow and heat and ants...

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

New Guy called a 8-8:30 meeting. He hasn't come in yet. I bet he'll make it here for the 9 meeting he called, because that one involves his boss. He can't be that self-destructive.

wow, y'all are like the opposites of most families I know here where guns toys just do not exist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Like Gud, I wish we had Nerf guns. When I was about 8, my brother and I would play Star Trek. So I made "phasers" out of Tinkertoys. My "phaser" used rubber bands to shoot a Tinkertoy piece out of its muzzle. That thing could have easily taken an eye out....

Oh yeah, once my older brother shot me in the arm with a BB gun. I cried, so he said I could shoot him with it to get even. I didn't see the point to that.

Well, that was my family! Now, nsm.

I mean, fergawdsake, my father joined the NRA. I'm not real clear on the logic there. Something to do with S&R, I guess. He loves to tell people this, because if they know him but a little, their reactions are classic.
