What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This was asked by a friend and I was left vaguely disturbed by it.

And shouldn't the Babysitter's Club be the Babysitters' Club?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think Cook's Illustrated is talking to you, a single home cook. I'm with you on Babysitters'.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ISTR the book itself had a character arguing the babysitters' club point.

This makes sense and helps. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure I remember that too, bon.

Curiously, the official title of the series appears to have no apostrophe at all. There's no apostrophe block.

I never read any books about babysitters in a club, so what do I know?

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

Oh, we talk about way creepier stuff.

True. I guess reining in my dark humor in some situations is becoming somewhat ingrained.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I know this is from way back, but in the article about Tiger Wood's fling. This?

Not prostitutes, no, but just about halfway there. As surely as he has changed the game of golf, so too has Woods exposed the grazing ground of the halfway-hooker, and her natural habitat, the nightclub.

He met at least nine of the fifteen women in or around nightclubs: Kalika Moquin was a marketing manager at the Bank in Las Vegas, which is also where he met onetime cocktail waitress and full-time clubgoer Jamie Jungers. He met Julie Postle when she was a cocktail waitress in Orlando. Cori Rist at a nightclub in Manhattan. Holly Sampson met him through a mutual friend who is also a club promoter.

Makes me so very fucking angry. Women who work in clubs are not prostitutes. Not even close. And it's the attitude that they're damn near prostitutes is what makes working in that industry so frustrating for many women even as it's the easiest employment to get and likely to help out through rough times. I can't even read the rest it makes me that angry.

Jesus Christ yes, Daisy.
