The water makes the bagel (and the pizza).
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

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

Really, Lush? Really? I mean, I get that you're attributing it to an actual employee but can you possibly not be aware of what you're doing here?
OTOH, you saved me some money yesterday because I realized I like my bath products with a smidge less racism.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Really, Lush? Really?
Wow. I'm suddenly very glad I'm too poor to shop there anymore.

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
We all wandered in at separate times and as each one of us sat down with the other Buffistas who were there, we'd bite into our sad little midwestern faux-bagel, and every single one of us said "Hey, that's not a bagel!" Every. Single. Time. Which was hilarious to the non-NYCistas there, and terribly sad for us New Yorkers who hadn't even had our damn coffee yet.
I have brought bagels to nearly every F2F since.
Of course, as a good New Yorker I tend to travel with bread products. Showing up with bagels and babkas is the way of my people.

At first glance I read "Travel Spice Kit" as "Space Travel Kit" and I wondered for a moment where exactly ita's sister lives.
Lunch break is delightful. My classroom is so beautifully quiet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sue, that's newfangled stuff, and I'm ignoring it. Apart from the credit card parking meter stuff, there have been no useful advances since the 80s.
Vortex, I wonder if she'd even get it.

Zuisa, this is funny to me (and possibly to ita) because she and her sister came to visit DC, and when we went out to brunch, ita's sister sent the server back to the kitchen 2 or 3 times for spices so she could adjust her food.

I don't even think I could name enough spices to know what to request for food. This is why I don't cook much.
And I'm sorry if I am excessively chatty! I just literally have nothing to do other than maintain some semblance of order in this classroom. Hence lots and lots of internet.
