I went out to dinner a while back and had the BEST guacamole ever. Mind you, I've never really liked guacamole, so I was surprised at how good this was. Since then, I've tried all the guacamole I could find, and nothing has been nearly so good. Or particularly good at all, really. I can't imagine what that chef put into his guac that made it so damn good.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

I did the air mattress on top of a futon frame thing for a while. Comfier than you'd think.

You can put a sheet of plywood in the frame under the mattress for support. That's my current set-up, though I have a regular mattress, not an air mattress. I got rid of my box spring years ago. My antique bed is high enough off the floor that a box spring made me have to literally "climb" into bed.
That's what we do, and it works very well. (Our bed is so high that a box spring would require that we pole-vault into bed.)

And that would be a problem?

I have a bad back, he has bad knees, and I am so clumsy (think Mr. Bean) that I would break my face on my first try. Plus the bedroom is too small to really get a running start.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I bought new box springs for my thrift shop mattress. But then when we built the new place, we bought a platform bed, which I love, but does not need box springs. So I bought thrift store twin mattresses for the box springs, and now they serve double duty in the guest/media room. Normally they're stacked two box springs with a mattress on top and one behind, so kinda daybedish. And then I can make them twin beds or push them together when needed for the guest room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never owned a non-futon bed. Nice and thick and solid and not springs.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hot dogs and bologna both can be made from some fairly scary things, but not if the ingredients are listed as the meat name. Beef hot dogs, for example, have to be made from cuts of beef you'd recognize. The more appalling ingredients are listed as "byproducts," "variety meat" and "mechanically separated."
I've never understood the skeeve. If you're going to eat dead stuff you might as well eat all of it. Why is it any more gross to eat some dead cow's ground up gawd-knows-what than to eat some some dead cow's ass? Or its shoulder?
I can get objecting to a particular flavor or texture (say liver or eye-balls), but if you make eyeballs into a tasty cold cut now they're tasty. Sausages and chitterlings are just making use of all the protien at hand. And even if *I* care for whatever reason, why the hell should my dog ?
By all means, keep bleach and cow's spinal cords out of it. And if you're eating it combined with crazy amounts of preservatives and and whatever weird emulsifiers are unhealthy that seems unwise... but the actual maximizing the thing you killed usage-wise seems sensible to me.
