More awesome from Charlie Pierce: Mitt Romney has declared class war on himself. Heh.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, yeah. I think most of them (hello Northern Europe!) are better, eh?
Depends on what you value. Few people actually trade it in, despite "ermagerd, the US _sucks_" chatter all over the web.
On stand by for later tonight. Please let me get home tonight. I have tomorrow off, but that's ER time. Which I really desperately need. Yesterday, in a literal sense.
Okay, back to the counter.

Good luck on the flights, ita! I'll cross my fingers for you.

Trade it in like move somewhere else? I guess in theory I could, but it's not easy (not that moving to the US is easy!) and less urgent of a change, really. Though if I were needing/wanting to move from a 3rd world country, I'd probably go with whoever was easiest to move to/become a citizen of/whatever, and better than my current situation, rather than "who is the most awesomest ever".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Just saw a category of "things associated with hipsters."
PBR, those fucking straw hats, John Deere baseball hats, skinny jeans.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Neckbeards, Indian headdresses, ghastly 80s sweaters, ghastly 80s glasses, ghastly 80s anything, moustaches in weird places (like necklaces and pillows).

Indian headdresses? For real?

Well, feathers in general. But yes, headdresses - [link]
Happy birthday to Lee!! May your next year and years be fabulous and fun, just like you.
And happy ten years to the Phoenix Board! When we temporarily went missing the other day, I realized I would rather lose the contents of my personal hard drive (heavens forfend) than lose the history of this board.

We have MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) hipsters. They were ahead of the curve. I can't figure out why anyone would want to look like me and my awkward preteen peers in the late 80s, tossed with a side of bedhead and unwashed, bonus muffintops or baggy boy butts, but there you go.
There's a waitress at a place I go to fairly often who I refer to as Sullen Girl. She's a boring sort of dark hipster EXCEPT! she earned her nickname! She wears the most affectless, soul-sucking expression while she works. It's truly amazing. I actually saw her laugh while out on break and it was a different person completely. I think people must tip her out of pity, thinking she's fallen down a deep dark well.
