Cool!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I for one am quite impressed that your autocorrect has an opinion on "new-fangledness" but not on "woold".
Right? The prosaic truth is that it corrected "would" (or some typo-laden version thereof) to "old" which I miscorrected to "woold". Which I am now rather attached to. It's got old woold charm. Or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love that googling children's tv aspidistras took me to precisely what I was looking for--The Adventure Game. I haven't watched many US kid's game shows, because the timing was wrong, but this British one was absolutely perfect.
Every episode the contestants travel to the planet Arg, and have to complete tasks in order to be able to come back to Earth. The inhabitants of Arg are Argonds, shapeshifter dragons. One of whom appears as the aforesearched aspidistra, named Rangdo.
The wikipedia entry is bugfuck nuts: [link]
The contestants had to complete a number of tasks in order to achieve their overall goal (e.g. regain their crystal and return to their ship). Many tasks involved the drogna, a small transparent plastic disc containing a solid geometric figure, which was the currency of Arg. The value of a drogna was its numbered position in the visible spectrum multiplied by the number of sides of the figure. For example, a red circle is worth one unit, an orange circle is worth two units, a red triangle and a yellow circle are both worth three, and so on.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hivemind question: Other than the paperwork hassle, is there a reason I am not seeing to not refinance my mortgage if it saves me .25%?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are there refi fees?

What is this even about? I'm not going through all the notes to see if anyone else has made these comments, but...who said Muslim women are weak? And who said all Muslim athletes fast during big meets? And who said this race was outdoors? Or during the summer?
God, people.

Then I don't see why not do it?
ita, I saw that too. And I have heard plenty about how different Muslim athletes are handling Ramadan in different ways, for just one thing, even in the US media. So.

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.
ita ! I'm with you on "think". Perhaps that should worry you.
On "Pipe vs Pike" I'm indifferent. Pike is the original, but pipe is logical and grammatical.
