I've observed that the term "political correctness" is often used by people who are using it as a synonym for "forcing me to not say offensive shit."
This nails it. Teppy comes through again!

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Btw, smonster, thanks for being so reasonable and gracious during the discussion.

Ginger (I think), from way back, you asked what I used arrowroot for. Right now, the only thing I use it for is pumpkin pie filling. I never tried that with cornstarch, but consensus from other people who have tried it seems to be that cornstarch will make the filling taste kind of starchy, while arrowroot doesn't do much to the flavor.
