The other people who need to say that phrase are Scottish.

Also people with an old-school Tidewater accent.

I have the flu or a cold or some other achy, drippy plague, yet I still have to keep going to cancer-related medical things. I'm too sick to have cancer. Whine, whine.

That seems really unfair.

We are not cliches! We do not say aboot!

The nice young lady at the Epcot exhibit pronounced it aboat. It was very welcoming.

I just watched the end of the Colbert show. Sad now.

Oh! That means White Collar finishes today too!

(Although chocolate chess sounds like a sugar/fondant pie to me--I'm really all about the fruit. Not even pecan--full body shudder)

It was like a cross between a brownie and fudge on a crust. Although fruit pie is lovely, too. I have a Dean-like ecumenical approach to pie.

Between White Collar, Colbert, and Korra (I don't know, among just doesn't seem right there) I am wrung out. Waking up tomorrow morning will be a challenge.

That is massively unfair, Ginger. I hope you can get some relief from symptoms at least, some how.

Mm, now I want a brownie in a fudge crust. This diet hasn't actually been that hard, mostly because I'm barely leaving the house, but today I kept wanting to eat All the Things. Even though I'm not hungry. I'm blaming hormones.

Is Kat here, or anyone who can answer Hawaii questions? I am reading a fic with a lot of white people talking like native Hawaiians, and calling mainlanders haole. I thought all white people in Hawaii were haole, though. Is this a "brother from another mother" situation?

Ask Java--she is white and grew up in Hawaii, no?

She hasn't posted in Natter recently, but I hope she sees it.

You don't say "sore-y" either, right?

Ha! This is totally a thing. ND's parents both immigrated from Canada, and he has a lot of Canadianisms, including that one. Every time he says sorry it makes me giggle a little inside.
