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

Obviously not fucking enough, or you'd be more eager for morning.

this is interesting out of context.

Especially since it was originally in Bitches. But my confusion is gone now that I'm cross-caught up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If it can't do a sharp 90° turn, it's not a real lightcycle.

If you buy me one, I promise to test this and report back. You have my word.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, hivemind: share me your stories of how to make shoes not hurt?

If they have potential, I just load up my feet with band-aids ahead of time, at least for the first few wearings.

Re: pine nuts and pine mount. An alternative to cheap Chinese pine nuts with pine mouth risk and expensive Italian ones with no pine mouth risk: risk free almonds, sunflower seeds etc.. Good taste, shelled sunflower seeds are cheap (at least where I am). An no risk of pine mouth. SF seeds are a good substitute for pine nuts in all recipes I've tried. Ok, I'm a subtaster so I guess you may want to get a second opinion, though ehow agrees.

WHAT IS PINE MOUTH?

Okay, I guess I get what it is. Why is it? I mean, why should it persist? Why would you risk it? It sounds horrific.

Also, nuts, kinda ick.

Art Crawl!!!

OMG, I just has somebody come in - a starting out musician who was completely clueless to the fact that as a musician she needs to have an idea of what to charge to be hired. She thought she could do a "fundraiser" - i.e., to raise money so she could go into the studio and that we would hire her and she would charge for tickets. I had to explain that we wouldn't consider that a fundraiser . . . yikes. She was v. clueless and I hope she finds some help. I wasn't sure where to send her.

I had a pasta making class recently where they were making some of the same suggestions TB has above for making pesto or similar stuff. Also, they pointed out that if you're not sure what you have, the Italian ones tend to be more elongated while the Chinese are rounder.

I just noticed pine nuts for sale in the Mexican spices section of my supermarket, but they were so cheap, they must be the risky kind?

but they were so cheap, they must be the risky kind?

Yeah, most likely. The tricksy ones are Chinese.
