I am sleepy and need to go to bed, but am currently ensconced on the couch with a cat on my lap. I see no way of resolving this situation to everyone's satisfaction.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My book group had a potluck tonight, but it was pretty lowkey. I brought a green salad that went over pretty well. It was in a big, clear bowl, so I was able to have fun with contrasting layers (spinach, red cabbage, romaine) and then make concentric circles out of shredded carrot, red pepper, black olives, tomato, and chick peas. It turned out rather pretty and, thanks to a food processor with a shredder blade, it was pretty quick to pull together. One of the others brought a chocolate chess pie which she called "home wrecker pie." I agreed that even though I didn't have a significant other, I was still ready to leave him/her/zir for the pie. So good.

That sounds lovely, Calli.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was still ready to leave him/her/zir for the pie
These are the best sorts of compliments. The last one I got on my pie was "This is...artisanal." and later the same guy said "And there was no afternoon sugar crash!"
I was pleased as whatever. Go team pie.
(Although chocolate chess sounds like a sugar/fondant pie to me--I'm really all about the fruit. Not even pecan--full body shudder)

I accept that, but your "loose" is totally Canuck.

I don't even know what that means, but I will accept that my loose is Canuck.
You should hear my accent come out when I yell at Oz.

The other people who need to say that phrase are Scottish. Not that they have meese, but it's a clear explanation of their accent.
There's a tightness in the "oo" of loose which all Canadians other than Sue also have in the "ou" of about.
