On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

"...and that calls for some hard-hitting, potentially violent SCIENCE!"

Hi, I'm Thessaly, also known as Lea, also known as Victor's wife. I lurk so far down I share office space with a grue and the Balrog.

I started posting sometime after the earth cooled from its molten core and stopped posting when the working at home + infinite interesting reading/conversation timesuck combination became too much.

I do web design, book layout for Write Bloody Publishing, poetry, and Victor's laundry (but sometimes he helps). Sometimes my hair is Muppet-colored, but not right now. The Ferret Liberation Organization was my fault entirely.

Victor usually passes along the really good bits and sometimes I get to see some of y'all in person. I love olives, am all right with cilantro and enjoy most foods my allergies will still let me eat.

I had the serial comma beaten out of me by nuns, beaten back in by Victor, beaten back out again by grad school MLA papers, and am now unsure if God and Ayn Rand are my parents. My current grammar obsession is the phrasal adjective.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Meaning a sandwich on baguette-type bread, yes? Like from Subway?

No, muffaletta bread is a big round flat thing. Kind of focaccia-ish.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

This is a muffaletta. The one from Central Grocery is approximately the diameter of a frisbee.

THESSALY! LEIGH! It's Old Poster's Day in the Delurk thread!

Man, sometimes, I seriously miss Buffy being on air.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This is a muffaletta.

That's about a quarter of a muffaletta.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I SAID frisbee.

I brought one back to college from spring break one year, and it fed me for days.

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

My preferred muffaletta serving is to get it with the olive salad, keep it wrapped in the paper for a little while, and then scrape the olive salad off. You get all the nice flavor without any of the actual icky olives. (Of course, my muffalettas are generally homemade now, they've got to have fake meat and non-dairy cheese. I haven't actually tried this yet, but I think that tempeh or seitan might work -- I tend to like those better than the packaged fake meats. I've seen a recipe that skips the meats altogether and uses grilled vegetables, but that seems wrong. Tasty, but wrong.)

You know it.

Okay, this is exactly how the kerfuffaletta started.
