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

What fun pictures of Juliana's wedding day!

It was a totally fun day.

Even if my liver didn't think so.

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

Man, I love beauty bloggers. I saw a repetitive ad for something that I thought might be a cool idea, so I google it, find the blogs, and realise that despite the glam of the ads, the Cover Girl Blast Flipsticks are never going to be for me, because they're drying, strongly scented, and irritated some testers' lips. Next!

Not that I'd wear the colour in the ads--the googling was to find out the other colours in the range, primarily.

Fuck, I can't believe I need another Nook. And...how little I want one in colour. E-ink all the way, baby. I love that shit. I'm definitely five or so months out of warranty...

Is it a good idea, that if something goes wrong with your hardware during your warranty period, to get an extended warranty then, if they're still available? Like, even if it won't be available for whatever your fix is, it just makes it feel like you're dealing with something that is delicate, and might break again instead of an year?

Dunno. I don't think I've ever even gotten Apple Care, and that's supposed to be a shoe in.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

...Don't read the comments?

I really need to buy a URL for my imaginary blog, "Don't Read the Comments Section."

It will not have a comments section.

My blogger name will be Anonymous Commenter. And I will write non-controversial pieces on the variety of butterflies in North America, peppered with occasional interrobangs preceded by the words "INPEACH KENYAN HUSSEIN OBAMACARE."

That way, I'll show up in crazy rightwinger search results and they will spontaneously combust at their computers because they won't be able to comment.

I'll also post some anti-vax bait to make it bipartisan, though.

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

And I will write non-controversial pieces on the variety of butterflies in North America

Monarchs rule!

And actually totally fail to respect borders what with their migration.

That's why he got fired. It didn't matter if it was intelligent design or Girl Scout cookies, he was harassing his co-workers.

Even with girl scout cookies, people in general just ask if it's ok to leave their order sheets at the reception desk. People can buy them if they want. And they usually buy a box from each one of three or four sheets. I've been asked if I would like to attend someone's church/mosque/synagogue functions when something special is happening, and have of course been invited to bar mitzvahs and christenings. I think that's all fine. "We're doing a thing, would you like to come? No? Well, you're welcome if you change your mind!" That's how it's done, people.

My old boss from back in the day would order a dozen boxes of my favorite two kinds so we'd have a ton of them in the office to munch on.

I'm thinking a lot more people would buy into intelligent design if it were mint flavored and covered in dark chocolate.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Didn't JPL say it had nothing to do with behavior, he was just one of many laid off in budget cuts? Or did I misread. And all points of view would be more popular if mint flavored and covered in dark chocolate. Our local Peace group goes caroling every year and hands out free cookies. Popular.

Also at our local Lakefair, the Democrats sell Demoburgers, made with really high quality ground contributed by a local Democratic butcher. Republicans sell first rate barbeque . Bipartisanship that works!

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

it wouldn't hurt to take it back and say that you were thinking of getting a Kindle Fire. They might fix it just to keep you as a customer.

I like the way Vortex thinks and I agree.
