Lisah! I just realized that I didn't donate to your Ride. Is it too late?
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

So we have to wait 20 years just to send humans to orbit Mars? Bah.
It would be a huge accomplishment to get people that far. I don't know if there is any technology even on the radar for a propulsion system and radiation shielding to pull that off.

God. No shit. Also: my magical ladyparts are not your goddamned reward for you being my friend.
Gnnnnnnagh.
Ahahahahaha. Yeah. So very much this.

HECK NO IT'S NOT!! It's a month from today. YIKES! (I rode 50 miles on Sunday and ow!)
Buffistas have been super generous (as usual) including someone who donated today to whom I owe a thank you note. And Sara's parents! So nice!

The status is NOT quo.
Well, that's one of the things that we love, your relentless optimism.
Aw, thanks. It's true, I always am convinced that people will understand and respond in kind if I am respectful and clear.
Oh, punkin, it's the teacher in you. You're trying to have a teachable moment with the craxies.
Bwah!! You are so completely right! It's hysterical that I didn't realize that myself.
Also: my magical ladyparts are not your goddamned reward for you being my friend.
This times a thousand. There's a big difference between keeping someone on the hook (i.e. HIMYM) and being a mind reader.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
If a guy friend offered to help me paint my apartment or something like that, it would never occur to me to interpret it as him wanting to date me.
This. For fuck's sake, this. In general, the action women are most likely to interpret as wanting to date them is asking them if they want to go on a date.

RIGHT! I knew I missed an obvious one. Man, I wish I could have hooked you up with my friend Joey who is just buying a place in Austin. I think your place is probably a bit out of his league though.

That's like an Internet comment thread in reverse.
