"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Roaring Forties blue is my favorite, but I'm also fond of feta, port wine, smoked cheddar, and pecarino romano. I've also had a delicious aged gouda that a co-worker brought by the office, but I've not found that same variety.

Cabrales tastes almost as good as Roaring Forties, but it smells almost as bad as limburger, so I don't buy it for home use.

Behold the power of cheese.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

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

I tested, and yes, I still love the Havarti.

Last Sunday I went to a local cheese tasting

That sounds delish. When I fly and don't plan ahead I end up ordering the cheese plate on the plane, and it's kind of sad that I don't know what cheese is what, so I can't take advantage of falling in love.

Hil, meara, do you have name signs? What are they?

Yoinks. I did that thing that broke my ankle a couple years ago. I didn't break it again, but I might have wrenched it. My breakfall was pretty solid, though.

Okay, lemme get ACE and ICE.

Either cheering from Hopkins or freakishly human sounding geese just happened and scared my cats off the deck.

Hil, meara, do you have name signs? What are they?

I don't. In theory you aren't supposed to come up with your own, it's supposed to be given to you...

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

CJ's name sign is one hand cupped to the side of the face next to the eye, like horse blinders. And yes, that is the meaning behind his sign - the cupped hand is a C and the association with blinders is cause he needs to pay attention.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

My friends who have name signs (both are interpreters), both had names given to them. Sandy has a very pretty smile, and her name sign is "S" signed next the mouth to indicate her dimples. Samantha has really curly hair, ner name sign is "S" in a corkscrew next to her face to indicate her curls.

Put me in the favorite cheese is cheese crowd. Too many to winnow it down to one.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

When I fly and don't plan ahead I end up ordering the cheese plate on the plane, and it's kind of sad that I don't know what cheese is what, so I can't take advantage of falling in love.

Sounds like the cheese manufacturers are missing out on a marketing opportunity.

I hope your ankle feels better this morning, ita.
