mmmmaybe so, but I don't see how Conquering without a war is particularly apocalyptic. Doesn't hold a candle to, say, plague of locusts, or bubonic plague. Anything with "plague" in the name trumps a bloodless takeover, imho.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
War, Famine, Death and Pestilence. Those are the horsies. I don't like people messing with my horses.

Ah hell. Loki just discovered he can get to the top of the bookcase. Fuuuuck.

You need pestilence as one of the four. Conquest is dumb.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey, does anyone have a good lemon based dessert recipe that isn't lemon bars that they want to share? I feel like baking this weekend, and I need to use up some lemons.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My old FAC counted one of the horses as False Religion. (Guy riding around on a white horse... Just like Jesus! And Fabio.) I think it's a foolish question because they're not explicitly named anywhere. I do think Pestilence is a pretty obvious inclusion, but there's room for disagreement on others.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Reasonably crappy, bon. But glad as hell the week is over.
Wow. This writeup of Elizabeth Taylor is remarkably cantankerous. How was she not a sex symbol?

The Moosewood Cookbook has a nice lemon-poppyseed cake recipe.
Or you could roast a chicken stuffed with lemons. But that's not a dessert.
Or you could make a lemon meringue pie. Or some Pisco Sours.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've got a lemon cupcake recipe around here somewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought this looked pretty good: [link]
I just looked at my phone and found a voicemail from my mother asking if I want to go to some exhibit with them, in lieu of family dinner. Well, not really. Because I was planning on not leaving the house much tomorrow! Which seems like not a good reason. Ah well. I'll go, and I'll like it.
