OK, the food map is interesting, but...what is "chislic" (South Dakota), why is Indiana POPCORN, instead of corn-on-the-cob, and New Hampshire is maple syrup while Vermont is Ben and Jerry's? What?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Chislic (or sometimes chislick) is a preparation of cubed red meat, usually deep-fried or grilled. It is virtually unknown outside the state of South Dakota in the USA. The term, while non-specific to any particular meat or seasoning, generally describes wild game, mutton, or beef, deep-fried and served hot on a skewer or toothpick.
Huh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw. Thanks for all the kind words. Even though they're coming from a bunch of atheists!
I don't know what her problem is, and it isn't mine to fix or cope with or do anything but roll my eyes at anymore, and that is such a huge relief. Sometimes I would get through a really miserable moment just reminding myself that at least I wasn't her daughter or her sister. And then I'd just feel awful for her in all her wretchedness; who wants to be the kind of person that makes everyone think, "Oh, thank DOG we're not related!"

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

Ain't nothing unethical or amoral about calling someone a bitch!

ION,
Evanston police arrested three alleged burglars after tracking footprints in the snow leading from the burglarized house, officials said today.
Oops.

Huh. I mean, I only lived in South Dakota until I was 7--possibly my parents would know chislic.
OMG, my roommate is having SUCH LOUD SEX. I mean, he kinda warned me, but he said it would happen earlier in the day, so I took my shit to a coffee shop for a couple hours...and came back just in time for them to arrive from wherever they were, and get busy. I'm playing loud music, but even still, can hear some screaming and shrieking, especially in the few second gap between songs. Argh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm sorry, meara. I completely fail to get rudely loud sex (unless you have a kink about being overheard). It seems...rude.

ITA. But it seems more rude at night while people are trying to sleep.
But perhaps I'd find it rude partially because of my NGA status. Dunno.
eta: Loud sex people should just buy a house. But perhaps that's not realistic.
