Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I want to also do some successinating!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I feel like people who use success as a verb need to be sprayed in the face with a water bottle and firmly told NO.

I was thinking something a bit more caustic than water, personally.

A cooking question: I have a craving for a calzone, and none of the restaurants around here do one I like. I'm not going to go to the trouble of making my own dough, so what would people recommend as a commercially available dough?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Do you have a Trader Joes near you, Connie? They sell a raw pizza dough. Alternately you could try one of those frozen bread doughs they sell in most markets.

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

Not to be a one-upper!

That was some pretty hard-core one-upping. Well successed.

We do have a Trader Joe's, but that's up in Salt Lake, 30-40 miles away. Maybe I'll see what Pillsbury's can do for me.

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

I don't know about ready-made dough. I don't even know what's available.

"This process will never success if you leave that column blank", for example. She was training new hires and they didn't seem bothered so I though it might be business-speak of some kind.

What you need is a Local Lo-cal Calzone Zone. But Pillsbury seems like a fine substitute.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Fear me, I am attempting spray painting furniture. This is what happens when I find a cute-but-slightly-battered jewelry armoire for $13, and have binge-read a bunch of home decor blogs.

Me too! Well, that last thing, and now I'm obsessed with chalk paint, and want to thrift things so I can paint them.

Does the process give a "Success" alert when it's done? That would almost make sense.
