Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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

Spoken like one who has only been in NY and LA.

And I know people in LA who could walk everywhere and just don't want to.

Or you could pretend to be a hipster, and destroy NY Hipsterdom from within...

If I had the patience and tolerance of cold...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a lot meat prepared and parceled out in my freezer. Probably 4 or 5 tuppers with pot roast, one with chili, some individual chicken breasts, some sausages... A couple of frozen dinners, a popsicle, bread and english muffins, blueberries, peas, green beans, I don't know what else.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Of particular note is this about one of their inspirations:

His workouts include scooting around the underbrush on all fours, leaping between boulders, playing catch with stones, and other activities at which he believes early man excelled. These are the “primal, essential skills that I believe everyone should have,” he said in an interview.

Yes, nothing has more potential to improve one's health and quality of life than being on the receiving end of thrown rocks.

Might I also suggest hunting large predators like bear and big cats armed only with a flint spear? 'Cause it's authentic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My freezer has food in it that I forget is there.

That's why I just inventoried! I can't figure out an easy way to share the spreadsheet, though. Numbers format is not compatible with Google Docs, apparently.

Caveman ain't no sissy girl diet.

That's funny. When my sister started Eating Right for her blood Type (O), that was the short explanation - O as the supposed oldest blood type so she should eat close to paleolithically.

I would love to see those paleo hipsters actually trying to survive in the wild. That's quality reality TV right there.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I might even watch that show.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My freezer in prose form: five bananas, a bag of biryani, half a bag of blueberries, one stick of butter, one candle, 2.5 lbs of chicken (breasts and thighs), 2 qts chicken pot pie filling, 3 packets of chopped liver, a can of decaf coffee, one english muffin, 2 bags of flour, 1 serving of French Onion soup, a bag of mixed fruit, an ancient ginger root (2 years old, should I just toss it?), a pint of goose fat, 4 hot dogs, a tray of lasagna, a bag of lima beans, 7 mini pie crusts, 9 blueberry muffins, 1/2 a package of peas, 1 persimmon, a cup of schmaltz, a quart of chicken stock, 4 stuffed potatoes, 4 servings of stuffed sole, an opened can of tomato paste, and 8 waffles.

I am in trouble if we lose power for a significant length of time.
