I had a whole section about civic pride.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I just tweeted that the WiFi at the bar I'm at sucks, and they tweeted me back that they're working on it, while I'm still here! I am simultaneously appreciative of the customer service, and feeling exposed, though the place is packed. CAN THEY SEE ME?

I keep hoping one of those "and then just when she though she wouldn't meet anyone..." stories will be me someday.

Sigh. Me too, meara. Of course, I should probably leave the house more often and meet people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

CAN THEY SEE ME?

Yes, they can. I wouldn't eat those nachos.

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

Have you even tried Nerd Speed Dating yet?

I don't know anything about it. They have it here?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

My boss just brought me pie.

I need your boss.

Although after spending the last half hour trying to identify a doctor in my area that takes my insurance plan, I think I'd settle for a neti pot.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Maybe don't use an online service like OKNeanderthal?

Have you met Match.com? It's so much worse AND they charge you for it.

Scola did it in New York. Surely we have enough nerds out here to do such a thing. If not, you should organize it. Preferably at Borderlands or 826 with an added spelling contest.

Simply by virtue of you being straight, solvent, employed, hygenic and capable of grasping heliocentric theory gives you a leg up in the Bay Area where straight, employed young men are in shorter supply.

Nope. I found my wife the old fashioned way: going to a Buffy season finale party.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks, Hil! That's awesome! She is very interested in Judaism because her BFF is Jewish and I want her to have good info.
