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

Does the octopus have genitalia at the meeting of every pair of legs? Where are the octo-goolies?

Can women's sizing be simplified? I think one of the reasons men get more practical sizing is because the range of clothes and fits is narrower, and the clothes are asked to do less. Fit at the waist, be decent at the hips, break properly at the ankle. Shirts a bit more complicated. But it's not like hugging cleavage or hips or not.

I have one size gold standard--I'm a six, sometimes petite at Ann Taylor Loft, but that doesn't always work for pants. But they don't sell the cut I best like anyway.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I had no idea such a sport existed:

I knew of this one. It's mentioned in Cephalopods: A World Guide. It was discontinued due to the cruelty against the octopus.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I love this guy's Twitter gif. I want to name it Allyson.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I know the conversation has kind of moved on but...

I could never figure out what made the Lady a tramp (in the song of that title).

Isn't it that she's declasse and doesn't care because she thinks all those class markers are pretentious?

He doesn't argue very well.

No, no, he doesn't. He doesn't really argue at all. He sort of does the textual equivalent of putting his fingers in his ears and yelling "la la la, I can't hear you!"

On the other hand, the way you describe an argument with Tim?

pretty great at listening, responding, conceding a point.

That's a rare person.

Luck to Quester. Also gather doctors still don't know what is going on with Allyson?

I am watching the CNN stream of the wedding, which I recommend as there is no commentary. Favorite part so far: handing the hats, swords, and white gloves to some dudes with big tassels on their butts.

Oh, Eugenie, no.

Also, this is sad, but I sort of love the Queen. She reminds me of my late grandmother, I think. (Who was a non-hat-wearing autocrat.)
