I have to confess, I haven't watched it in years- timing issue.
ION, got the nicest compliments from my fellow swimmers tonight. One said I made swimming look effortless and beautiful and and another said her goal was my pace and distance.

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Those are some darn good principles.
Is anyone coming to JPL's Open House this weekend? We have neat stuff and rovers and it's free! Oh and I will be volunteering and telling people where the bathroom is and that climate change is not a hoax, I think. If they ask. Mostly they just want to know where the bathroom is.
I would love this! Um, the Open House bit. I can generally find bathrooms. Man, if I still lived in La Crescenta...

What's the motivation for lying?
There are guys who want to argue that ties are as bad has pantyhose, heels, bras, makeup and all the other uncomfortable accoutrements of corporate dress for women.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't actually have any inherently uncomfortable accoutrements of corporate dress, so I can't comment on the comparison. My bras and pantyhose aren't uncomfortable, my makeup is optional and minimal and I certainly can't feel it, and I don't wear uncomfortable heels.
I believe the guys who have told me that they are uncomfortable in ties. I cannot see why any of them would lie to me about it, especially since none of them were making any sort of comparative points. They were just saying they felt strangled wearing ties, period.
