I totally read the "No nips, game over" article. And since I've never heard of anything like it, I am curious enough to look for more information. Because that's either fascinating or someone's being punked.

Yeah, I just read it. A quick google of "sughaim sine" only returns 2 pages of hits that are almost entirely links to tumblrs reblogging the image. I call punked.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cash, that's some mighty ass you're banging around that track. You need to work on your War Face. I want you to practice your grimace in the mirror before the next bout.

Thanks. I do need to work on my war face. It's not intimidating at all. There's this great move that our jammers do called The Snatch--where they bend low and put their face at the other jammer's snatch level. It does two things. One, it unnerves some girls and two, it puts your head in her way--so if she takes off, she'll hit you in the head and get a low blocking major penalty. I don't think I'm ready for that move.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We googled the exact same phrase. Just saying.

Because we share a brain! I would apologize for the near-constant earworm of "Vampires" for the past few days, but I'm pretty sure you don't mind it.

information libertarian

So, this royal wedding on Friday is the first live TV event I've been vaguely interested in since we cancelled TV. What's a girl who basically wants an excuse to eat scones and drink tea and look at funny hats at 5am on Friday to do? Will CNN.com or BBC.com or someone have live streaming coverage?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The girls in the van home from work today seemed to think it was going to be streaming on YouTube, but I'm sure someone will have it. That was a hilarious ride home today, I tell you what.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Gosh I hope so flea.

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

I think my sister didn't expect me to email her sexologist colleague.

To be honest, I kinda didn't expect me to either. Now I guess my questions gotta be good, or she'll be the chick with the blah sister.

I am perfectly willing to believe that nipple thing is bogus, because, eww. Just eww.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

an excuse to eat scones

Damn it, I made scones a week too early! I guess I'll just have to make more. What a hardship.

I feel like I read somewhere once that "real" scones only have currants in them, not anything else like blueberries or cinnamon or chocolate chips. (Kind of like the Oh Dear God That Thing Is NOT A Bagel POV on baked round bready things with hole [see also, Eat A Muffin, Whitey].) Is that true? Because I couldn't find currants but found a bag with a combination of dried blueberries, dried cherries, and dried cranberries. And wow, the resultant scones are excellent. But my question remains -- are the only "true" scones made with currants?

Although they're also gluten-free, so their provenance was dodgy right from the start.

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

But my question remains -- are the only "true" scones made with currants?

Well, currants are traditional. And after that I think we're into "Eat a Muffin, Whitey!" territory.
