If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

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.

Yes, they argued that he "weaponized the sidewalk".

They do realize that's not like "weaponized uranium", right?? Just because something has become part of a phrase doesn't mean you can substitute words into it willy-nilly!!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

count me in as another human barometer! the weather is turning here and my head, neck and shoulder are throbbing.

Me too. My fingers, lower back, shoulders, and knees have been trying to kill me for a few weeks now.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

What is WITH this fucking weekend? If any of you are regulars at Balloon Juice, I expect you saw the news about General Stuck (commenter) and Tunch (supermassive cat/mascot/physical embodiment of the place) dying.

Oh, and TWO of our cars got clipped this weekend. While parked.

Also, my arms feel like they have rug burn from all the raspberry scratches. (I'd have finished pulling the unproductive canes, only someone CLIPPED MY NEW CAR, and I had to go in and rage blackout in private. Last straw and all.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huh. Just realised that Cory Monteith had been on SPN. I couldn't work out if it was just a professional thing I was seeing tweeted, but once an #spnfamily, always #snpfamily. Not kidding around. That was the second ever episode.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The wendigo one? Was he the brother who went missing?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I understand that under current Florida law, the jury may well have felt that they had no choice but to reach the verdict they did, but THAT LAW IS INCREDIBLY FUCKED UP.

Yeah, but they could have (and should have) done jury nullification and ignored the judges' orders about interpreting the law.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

wendigo

No, he was the first guy the monster snatched. I think he may have had a line.

I feel like I should be icing my hand in prep for this morning. Of course, given how I slept on it, maybe I should anyway. That was not a natural position... I tried to sleep in. Didn't really work. Instead just being slow about getting showered and dressed.

Proof of how insane I've gotten: I'm packing my password cheat sheet (not an actual sheet, hackerz) in case I have to access documents online...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

xkcd would like, I'm guessing this entire board, to take the test: [link]
