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.

Who holds a loud street concert at 7:30 am on a Saturday?

That seems very unreasonable.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My flight to Seattle is on Virgin America, which now flies out of terminal 2, which just opened on Thursday.

It's going to be really nice in about a month, but right now all the TSA and service people are still in OMG real people not training mode.

OTOH, good mimosa.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I know this isn't workable with copper wiring, but our neighborhood has had a lot of success with a program the police started where they (the police) give homeowners a specific color of paint. The homeowners paint the copper pipes, and then if the pipes are stolen and taken to a scrap yard, the people at the scrap yard know it's stolen copper and can call the cops. Apparently other cities that have instituted such a plan have seen copper theft go WAY down.

Eeeenteresting. We've been discussing various security measures, but haven't settled on any solutions.

We had someone stroll up on a weekend, wearing a hardhat, and steal a freaking Bobcat from a fenced job site. Now they chain the safety bar up to the top of the cage, because you can't drive a Bobcat when the safety bar up.

Also, we get the toilet paper stolen out of our Porta Potties. For realz.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One of my college roommates had a case of toilet paper stolen out of her car one time. I feel like tp is actually a smart thing to steal -- it saves you money right away, without doing anything else! Like finding a reseller or whatever.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Matt, that's a hangin' offense, in my book. WTFF?

I'm sure I knew many people who rarely paid for toilet paper in university. The library was a prime source.

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

I didn't pay for salt.

Who's the biggest protagonist prick on TV? House?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

re: the random shit getting stolen discussion: when we were living in Lower Pacific Heights, people would try to steal my motorcycle's spark plugs all the time. The stealing tool even got broken off in the plug chamber a few times.
