And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Cool. I love finding out stuff like this. I would totally do a coffee tasting.

The best wine I ever had was an Amarone; I have no idea what kind but it was like chocolate and cherry and leather and OMG so good, I would dance naked for it. I had it at Lydia's when a guy friend was a little flush.

I also remember I had the chicken with goat cheese under the skin, served with a lemon-caper-green olive sauce on a bed of sauteed baby spinach. I need to recreate that again. I did it once; wasn't PRETTY, but my, it was delicious.

But my husband (still weird to say that!) doesn't like olives. Freak.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Mixed marriages can work, Erin. It'll all be ok.

I knew this before I married him. But I was young and optimistic, and discounted this important gap in our value systems.

I'm...not sure...we'll...MAKE IT! *SOB*

I threw true love over for some salty spheres of sin! and they weren't even boobies!

I may need to make this my sig, Erin. Because you rock just that much.

Passion can make us foolish, Erin. I can see desiring a man with such a flaw, but how can you ever respect him?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I can see desiring a man with such a flaw, but how can you ever respect him?

Realize that your martini will never go olive-less because he'll always give you his?

I respect a man who will give me an olive.

I also respect those that give me ice cold gin and vermouth.

Basically, I just really want a drink right now.

How DARE you question by respect for my husband! I respect him; I just cannot support his stance on this particular issue. Everyone has something they're wrong about.

If only he didn't compound the horror by eschewing cold pasta salads too.

OH NOES! He is not my One True! I married a olive hatin', cold pasta salad nose turn upper.

QUICK QUICK I NEED A BRITTANY ANNULMENT! ON THE GROUNDS OF IRRECONCOLIVABLE DIFFERENCES!

OK, this is annoying. I'm looking at a craigs list ad for a voiceover actor. This one is requesting:

*Date of birth
*State or area of residence (NYC, CA)
*Email and Phone Number

The website they provide looks like a legit education publishing company and I assume they're just trying to ham-handedly establish my age range, not somehow rip-off my identity or age-descriminate in hiring for a three day gig.

That doesn't mean I'll give them my deets, of course, it just means that I'll apply for the job. For the email I'm going with "My state of residence is _____. I can be reached at this email (________) and my telephone number is __________. My age range is 35-45, if you need my specific date of birth for tax or other purposes I will be happy to provide it if I am hired."

Any suggestions on how I might better phrase this?
