Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I am in love with this:

Oo, I am too. That is just delightful.

I am grading and feeling disheartened. The previous section muffed the first essay but did great on the second. This group did fine on the first but now they are blowing this one. What did I do? Did I fail to come across as sufficiently hard ass?

Lee, I'm sorry your day has sucked so far.

I'll be voting in my town's Town Hall. I could vote today, but I'll be staffing a voter information booth outside the town hall Saturday morning, so I figure I'll just go on in when my shift is done. Plus, the farmer's market is right next door on Saturdays, so I'm planning on making a "yay, small town + civic engagement = delightful" morning of it all. Then a wine tasting that afternoon and dinner out with some friends afterwards. Saturday's shaping up nicely.

Re: in jokes, Paul, Cass, and Jilli.

Lee, damn. That's just. Damn.

I'm not blanket anti-war, and I'm in favor all sorts of things that taxes require, such as actual proper socialized medicine and all, but for his current party, Johnson's not too bad.

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

Roads, fire departments... Little things.

Did we know that Roseanne Barr is on the ballot for President?

I just spent five minutes looking for the hair clip I was sure I had on my shirt or skirt. It's in my hair.

Liese, I like your choices and agree with you.

Eliminating the electoral college would only change who feels like voting is pointless. Probably to "everyone west of the Mississippi."

I just realized that I left my umbrella on the bathroom floor at home, and of course, it's now raining.

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 brought my umbrella to work.

Then at lunch I checked my Weather Channel app and it said 10% chance of rain for the next hour, so I didn't take my umbrella to lunch. So I got rained on on my way back.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary's the one I have the most inside jokes with, by a large margin.(We jokingly talk about our "shared brain")

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yup. And selfishly, I have no desire to see NYC become the new Ohio in terms of being battered to death with campaign ads, so I'm all in favor of the current system.

Every rural/farming state would go nuts. Isn't that why they went with the Electoral College, to keep the cities and industrial states from ruling?
