Disappointing results so far in Operation: Dark and Stormy At Home. I got a locally-made ginger beer at the 7-11, which was delicious, but a million dollars. Then I found what is apparently the one ginger beer at my supermarket, which is Goya brand for I think 89 cents a bottle (single serving bottle), and it's got good flavor, but is super flat right away. Why are my tastes always so expensive???

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
the trainer gave me the most ridiculously patriotic hard hat I've ever seen. There's a screaming eagle on the front with "United States of America" on a banner underneath it, and rippling flags down the sides.
PICTURE PLEASE NOW.
Er, I mean...pardon me, my good woman, dost thou have a photographic rendering of said chapeau, and if so, couldst thou make it available in a tube of the Interwebs?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
There's a screaming eagle on the front with "United States of America" on a banner underneath it, and rippling flags down the sides. It's a BADASS hard hat, but I don't know that I can bring myself to wear it. I can't decide whether to subvert it with stickers or give it to someone who will appreciate the "America, fuck yeah!!" nature of it.
This is not a hat you wear when you love America. This is a hat you wear when you have to convince the Patriotism Police that you love America.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
One advantage of working in a news archive is that I've been inundated with requests for 9/11 documentaries for the past year, so I'm pretty desensitized to the media overload. I have my own memories of the actual day, but the TV images just make me think about work.

Goddamn that is a magnificent hard hat. I think if the eagle were NOT screaming, it wouldn't be half as badass.
Oh my god, send it to Stephen Colbert!

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
Dear newbie fandom,
Don't argue with me. I know what I'm doing.
Love,
Me

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
RIGHT?
But seriously, you can't alter that hard hat. That is the hard hat of all hard hats. It is a thing of beauty. I think you could just wear it and the subversion would be evident.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you know there's such a thing as bacon jam? OMG.
I wonder what a bacon jam and Nutella sandwich tastes like...
I have this tricksy spot to park in at home, where I have to parallel park on my left, and as I'm trying to park tonight a couple with two toddlers stops to do something right within prime bolt and disappear under my wheels distance. For, like, forever. Doesn't anyone else have baby-crush issues other than me?
