Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I wish I could build it out of solid wood, but that would make it much more expensive.

Can you use solid wood as just an edging for the door?

Someone emailed me a link to a Wizard of Oz fic.

I can tell you things about Peter Pan,
And the Wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man..."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Nah. Those are just weird and subtexty.

I remember even as a kid realizing that the writers totally intended to imply Kirk and Spock were a couple. And also thinking they were written WAY out of character, it was more like romance novels with names and settings from Trek pasted in.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Killing Time is the infamous novel where the super-slashy stuff accidentally slipped through, and they changed it for the next printing.

'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 first ran across zine Star Trek slash with explicit pictures. Definitely not ready for that then.

Sending a "kindly following up" email at 7:15am will not get a response to the "urgent request" you sent at 8:30pm the night before any faster.

LOL--I've had that happen. Makes me LESS inclined to deal with your issue first thing! Usually it's people on the east coast or in Europe who aren't thinking and don't realize I'm not yet in the office...

So wait, there are slashy and less slashy versions, out there?

Yep. First edition is different from subsequent editions.

Our wings are not tired.

Northern blood vs Southern blood. It is ~60F outside so I have on an undershirt, long sleeve shirt, jacket, long pants and socks. I drive to my sisters and pass a house where dude is lying out on a lawn chair in just his bathing shorts catching rays! I mean it is sunny and nice out, but COLD!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I mean it is sunny and nice out, but COLD!

For me, it's relative to the preceding season -- in the spring, when it hits 60 degrees, it is time for shorts and playing sports outside and all manner of warm-weather shenanigans. In the fall, when it hits 60 degrees, it's time to fucking hibernate because the ice weasels are on the way.

Exactly!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

HIvemind - ideas for something my boss could get me for company celebration. He bought male counterparts various craftsmen tools. I don't need tools. There is some policy against gift cards. Need to spend like $65.
