It's quite possible you haven't tasted my egg nog, and I haven't tasted your creme brulee.
Y'all don't need me to tell you that sounds like a pick-up line on Chopped. I should try that on Zakarian at Comicon.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am pretty sure I love all puddings. I made Thai black sticky rice coconut pudding last week. Man! Tasty stuff.
Ok that sounds delicious. There's a restaurant near here that used to give something like that (sticky rice and coconut and salt and...sometimes corn and beans?) for dessert free with meals. And then spthey switched to slices of orange and that's not the same at all and I was sad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Note to self: "business casual" for a function where senators and admirals are in attendance does not, in fact, include trouser jeans.
You should have told people it was an homage to Rand Paul on the Daily Show!
I've never heard jibes about teachers being typically stupid. New one to me.
Oh, that's classic bullshit -- "those who can't do, teach" and whatnot.
Also, I was going to say something about homework being marked check/check-plus/check-minus in my experience, but it's possible I can only remember grad school at this point, and it's likely that grad school is different from high school!

THERE WERE NO GRITS AT THE MARKET. I am bereft. Just spinach and empanadas today, I still have apples from last week.
Now I need to clean. I don't wanna.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mmm, creme brulee. Also, now I want rice pudding.

THERE WERE NO GRITS AT THE MARKET.
Oooh. I think I'll have grits for breakfast. Yum!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, that's classic bullshit -- "those who can't do, teach" and whatnot.
That, of course, I'm familiar with--but I've never heard it at a grade school level. That's a university and up thing, where the teacher is presumably hiding from being tested on their ability to write novels/code/psychoanalyse and instead tormenting the talented folk that are going on to actually do something useful with their lives.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It's cold here today, so I think this will be a good day to make a big pot of split pea soup.
Also, now I want grits.

Fair enough. I have heard the "teachers only need to be a grade level above their students" thing before. Also obvious bullshit, of course.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Trouser jeans notwithstanding, it was a pretty cool thing, with all sorts of folks in uniform, and former Secretary of State Schultz and Senator Feinstein used swords to cut a huge cake. Turns out it was the formal welcome of the city of SF to the Navy for Fleet Week. But my sister hadn't realized that, and the invitation really did say "business casual".
So I got to meet the sheriff of SF and a couple of city department heads, and the Navy Drill Team. These guys: [link]
