Okay, cinnamon and tuna is where I draw the bagel line.
A guy at the bkery this morning ordered our salmon croissant with hot chocolate, and it was really hard not to say, "Ewwwwww."
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Cynthia Nixon's bagel order caused a social media meltdown
AND CUOMO'S GF MADE THE GD KWANZAA CAKE!!!
Okay that seals it - Nixon has my vote.
(Even if her campaign has been TEXTING me multiple times daily for the past week to the point where I finally responded "Stop fucking texting me or I will vote for the goddamn Green Party candidate out of pure spite." So far it seems to have worked.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
"Pulling a Cynthia Nixon" is a fine addition to the lexicon.
Bummer, Theo.
I think I was lurking or maybe posting only in the show threads when the LA F2F happened
Oh, wow, salmon croissant sounds SO GOOD. I'll save the hot chocolate for dessert.
I forgot about the Sandra Lee Cuomo connection. Eat a muffin whitey vs Kwanzaa Cake is hilarious!

If you haven't met Lucas the Spider, he's animated and adorable. Here he is after he's been captured.
edit: be very careful when Googling Lucas the Spider, because the page I found had a very "helpful", illustrated row of "Other arachnid species" I might be interested in.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I don't think that I've ever deliberately killed a jillifont, at least not in post-childhood memory (children are dreadful little things and I'm sure I wasn't different). Still get a bit apprehensive about spiderwebs, especially ones in the basement.

What is even happening?
I leave jillifont and insects alone, outside. Inside my house, I abide by the castle law. The only insect I'll transplant to the outside is a lady bug.

If Mr. Loomy is home, jillifonts are catch-and-release, because he can get close enough to trap them in a glass without hyperventilating and nearly fainting.
If he isn't home, jillifonts are beaten to death with shoes.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
In the house, anything with more legs than a spider gets squished. Friendly spiders and stinkbugs and other bugs generally get transported outside if I can get them. A spider in the bathroom might get flushed, though.
I try to ignore bugs outside. But that fucking spider on our back porch is getting bigger, ISTG. I just checked on it earlier, because I went to take trash out, automatically went to the back door, caught sight of Shelob before I even put my hand on the doorknob, and turned right back around. Oh my god, it's HUGE.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It is my personally and deeply held belief that spiders should not be allowed to get larger than, say, a small pea. Anything over that is just being a show-off and too big for their (eight-legged) britches and should result in instant death.

Tep, I think I would have had dh relocate Shelob. I don't do well with big bugs. Thankfully, we don't usually have a lot of them in New England.
I also keep a can of bug killer handy (usually). Flying bugs in my house get that if I can't get them with a flyswatter or newspaper. If I don't have bug spray, I do employ hairspray, I just don't also employ flame. Hi Atropa.
Most spray products (Lysol, cleaners) will kill bugs, when you're in a fix. Smooshable bugs I smoosh, but I've hair-sprayed yellow jackets to death.
