Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

One more reason to love Trader Joe's

Seems like TJs made the mistake in the first place, refuses to replace the sign...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Manhattan store has fewer on the printed signs, as far as I remember.

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

At mine, one lane says "Fewer" and one says "Less."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The one in Brooklyn (as referenced in the above post) said "fewer", but they've recently ditched the express line altogether.

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

Seriouseats greats you with "Hello Eater" at the bottom of the page which perplexed me for a little. Couldn't work out how they knew my name and why they'd misspell it.

Better now.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Also, Amanda Palmer was on tour (in the Dresden Dolls) with Panic! at the Disco, so she is bandom adjacent.

I have to get to Rochester to see you, missy!

This just reeks of privilege:

WHAT AN AMERICAN 'LOOKS LIKE'?.... Five wealthy white people sat around a table on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" earlier, and talked a bit about ethnic politics and the Senate race in Massachusetts. It was a rather discouraging display.

Donny Deutsch got the ball rolling, suggesting that voters may be "going back to basics" after electing an African-American president and seeing "the female candidates and whatnot." Scott Brown, Deutsch added, "looks like the traditional view of a candidate," which may bring a "visceral comfort" to voters...

The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan added that Brown is "a regular guy" who "looks like an American."

None of all-white participants in this discussion explained exactly what "an American" actually "looks like," but apparently it has something to do with being white, male, and handsome. Sorry, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, I guess you don't meet the criteria for looking American.

What is Panic! at the Disco? I keep seeing ficcy mentions of it, but I have no idea what it actually is, other than some source for bandfic.

Whyinhell is search not working for me? I know I have text files where this word exists, but search turns up naught. And it's not like I can install search tools on this system.

What is Panic! at the Disco?

They are a band with such hits as "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off," "The Only Difference Between Suicide and Martyrdom Is Press Coverage," and other long-winded song titles. I think they were discovered by Fall Out Boy?
