P-burgh also uses the word "slippy" for slippery. I like it.
Of course, Wisconsin uses the word "bubbler" for drinking fountain.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The beer flights I've seen have been served like this - tiny wee beer glasses on a wooden serving platter. Tasty AND adorable!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This is odd. I just glanced at my cable box, and the place where it usually shows the time currently says 16:9. Turning it on then off again fixed it, but I wonder what that meant.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
smonster needs a transporter.
Or a time-turner. Or some more brain cells. But I've settled for animal crackers dipped in Nutella.

We also say "gumband" for "rubberband" which my from-elsewhere spouse can't get over.
And yeah, I shouldn't call the dropped infinitives wrong, but they are certainly non-standard.
ETA: And we use the word "nebby" for somebody who is nosy; I didn't know that wasn't common till about 3 years ago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've seen the beer samplers like Jess's picture, but I haven't seen them called flights. It wouldn't surprise me, though.
I'm gonna guess it's like flights of stairs, things grouped together, rather than flying.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Hil, that's a tv format. I'm guessing the remote button got squished on the button that toggles 4:3 and 16:9.

So, recipes. Laurie Colwin's creamed spinach is here: [link]
Only change I'd suggest is to *either* use pepperjack cheese *or* monterrey jack + jalapenos. (The original recipe is monterrey jack + jarred jalapenos, I usually use pepperjack as a shortcut.)
The mac & cheese I usually make is here.

Gah. My hand slipped while I was putting Orajel on my wisdom tooth, and I ended up numbing most of my mouth. This feels really weird and wrong.
