I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

To the tune of With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm I keep imagining "with his mask tucked underneath his chin". sigh ....

I miss the old-school spoiler communities, before streaming made everything asynchronous. I still have access to "spoilers" through DH's press screeners, but there's nobody to talk about them with because I've usually seen the entire series before it airs, and the spoilers don't mean anything to anyone!

"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

I think the biggest thing I was inadvertently spoiled for was the introduction of Kendra the Vampire Slayer. I recall a snarky discussion regarding spoilers on The Bronze which speculated about the most militant of the spoiler averse being in for a surprise when they tuned in for the next season premiere after the show's cancellation. (Turned out to be a bit prophetic when the WB aired that commemorative promo after "Chosen" that implied the series was ending rather than jumping networks!)

Yay for vaccinations, particularly my mom's which came as a surprise yesterday from the same pharmacy that fouled up her place on the waiting list last week. If any of its workers are lurking and blanched after looking back through my post history regarding horror movies, hiya and thanks for getting the ball rolling!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Still no superpowers. (Unless "ability to go many days without a shower" is a superpower.) (If it is, it's a really bad superpower.)

I don't think that counts as a SUPER power ... it seems to be shared with a number of people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

(Unless "ability to go many days without a shower" is a superpower.)

Technically a Stinkerpower.

I have reached the point in the week where I don't want to eat anything that's in my house and it's almost 2pm and nothing sounds good for lunch. I don't miss commuting but damnit I do miss easy access to multiple options for food someone else already made.

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

That is why I have an unhealthy relationship with Doordash. Although I have not ordered lunch once this week, so gold star to me! I will reward myself by...ordering dinner

I have reached the point in the week where I don't want to eat anything that's in my house.

This was me last night with dinner. I was actually making a pot of my aunt's 222 soup and was like, no, we need to get takeout. Unfortunately, although we live close to lots of options, the MG pretty much only ever wants to go to three places that I'm completely bored with at this point.

Plus, I try not to eat takeout that much (mostly for health reasons) but I'm just so tired of cooking for two. I miss the days when I could cook a few days a week and have leftovers the rest of the time.
