I have some absinthe in the house (a wee wee bottle) and keep thinking I need to find out the proper way to drink it so I can try it. I'm supposed to pour it over a sugar cube or something?
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
This made me bust a gut laughing
The green fairy may show up in sweat pants and a janky t-shirt, but its all good.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The latest sample of trolliciousness from the Buffy study thread (it died down for a while, but one of the elder trolls, who had been ably smacked down by aurelia and ita, just wandered back in):
So you think that martial artists have to practice a style developed by someone else? The martial arts practitioners you have known are better at remembering forms than actual fighting. Most martial arts are adapted for marketing, not actual fighting. krav manga is a joke, I wish someone would try that style on me.
I guarantee you, sir, not half as much as I do.
Also, heh, krav manga. Where you kill someone with your pinkie and a Japanese comic book.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

...Do all martial artists develop their own style of fighting or something?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PC, the stupid on that site is a stunning kind of stupid, and I say that in the face of Denton's most recent changes at gawker. There's just nowhere to get traction. If you try and whittle anything down to a binary proposition to highlight how ludicrous they're being they dissolve and pop up somewhere else.
I'm at that stage of packing where I'm tired and cranky and am sure I've forgotten everything and I don't want to do any more. I usually hit the wall at 4/5 of the way through 12 hours before the shuttle comes.
Well, at least I got the last work email sent. I do need to change my voicemail.
Tried to start my car again. No dice. I need to work out how not to be anxious about that for a week.
And I need to tell my apartment manager to accept packages for me for a week--which needs outside pants. Gnargh. But it's better than packing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
krav manga is a joke, I wish someone would try that style on me.

He really should have that wish fulfilled (amusing typo or lack of education aside). There should be a Make a Wish for situations like this. I'd donate. And make popcorn.

What! That's crazy. How big was it? Was it burrito-size?
