Who barfs when they're high?!
Aldi is weirdly small -- smaller than Trader Joe's seems really small to me -- but I like a lot of their stuff, although it is a very DIY experience. I think I heard they're owned by the same people who own TJ's, too.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I successfully recycled my dead desktop at work by using my large and aggressively purple suitcase to transport. Nobody asked me where I was going, so I didn't get to make up a wild story.
I'm currently wiping the data from my old XP machine. When choosing a more secure method of nuking your data, I humbly suggest starting the process earlier in the evening because I did not and I am regretting it.

I want an aggressively purple suitcase. Just for general purposes, not necessarily for disposing of computers.
Man, I definitely feel crappier than I did a couple hours ago. I do not want to be getting sick. Maybe in a couple days, not right now. Hang in there, body.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't remember when I first heard 420, but it was longer than 15 years ago. It was not a thing when I was in college. Popularized early 90s, I'd say. I think all the explanations for where it came from have been debunked.
It was definitely well-known when I was in high school in the mid to late nineties in NJ.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I learned tonight that Aldi is not the grocery store for me. The entire business plan seems to be modeled on being as inconvenient as possible for the shopper, and after fighting my way to the register with a loose armload of purchases I found out that they don't accept either of the payment methods I normally carry.
My brother opines that Aldi is not so much a supermarket as it is a scavenger hunt.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Ugh, the helicopters are already circling over head for 4/20, which is a fucking nightmare day in my neighborhood as you can imagine.
Pot-Heads On Parade! Stoner Bros! Deadheads in all directions! Chronic-ally stupid behavior!
I love this city, but JFC we need to cut down on the asshole partying behaviors. Says the woman who bartends across from the ballpark, the night before the first Dodgers series.

People who've also drank all day.

Since I *know* someone here is bound to know the answer to this...
Suppose that a person were trying to write a brief passage in King James Bible/Shakespearean era English, because that person's story includes a spell involving an artifact of that time. Should that person say "By my blood be THOU destroyed" or "By my blood be THEE destroyed"? Because there's the hymn "Be THOU my vision," but OTOH "thee" just sounds better to me on a gut level.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Today I made an agreement to buy some stuff from Oprah. Well, Harpo.
I've never paid much attention to 420, but I learned when I was in kindergarten that I was allergic to that family of plant. Remember the macrame trend?

The internet tells me that "thou" is for subjects and "thee" is for objects. Destroy thee, or be thou destroyed, I'd say.
Good old macrame. Well, that would have been a nasty allergy to discover unawares in non-topical form!
