yay Dr. Hil!
see ... it all adds up!
And, since there's nothing much on TV these days, can we do something lingering and painful (boiling oil optional) to your advisor?
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
(Imagine Indonesian fish chips plus a yogurt dish from Turkey plus something corn-based from Peru plus, well, you get the idea.)
Ooh. That sounds like a bigger version of the annual cultural fair at my cousin's elementary school.

I do heart G&S references.

The language classes at my HS used to go to it every year, too. The folk dancing was some of the most spectacular stuff I ever saw. It was worth the trip just for that.

I've got a little list, and they'll none of them be missed ... and, yes, Hil's EX-advisor is near the top.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Let me check, Trudes. Did you send it to my work address--because we have two different spam filters.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Let's get the pitchforks and the torches for your advisor. Who's with me!
I'm always up for a good smiting.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Anyone else want to send Hil's advisor a THANKS FOR FUCKING NOTHING card? I do.
Go, Hil!

Just wanted to repeat that, because just seeing the words makes me happy.

Can the card also explode?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, this is very gross... and maybe amusing:
Workers Clear 1,000 Tons of Fat From London Sewer
Sewer workers have cleared out 1,000 tons of compressed fat and trash from beneath London's Leicester Square, a tourist hot spot and venue for glitzy movie premieres.
...
"We're used to getting our hands dirty, but nothing on this scale," said Danny Brackley, a sewer flusher with Thames Water. "We couldn't even access the sewer as it was blocked by a 4-foot wall of solid fat."
The fat is the product of Londoners' "sewer abuse" -- using the water system as general garbage disposal. Particularly troublesome is Londoners' habit of pouring used cooking oil down the sink. Once in the sewer, the oil cools, congeals and then traps other garbage.
Getting at the goo was not easy. Teams of workers, replete with breathing apparatus to protect them from the rancid smell, had to attack the fat with shovels. They then used water cannons to break down the "fatbergs" inside the sewer.
