There's a woman in our church who uses a guide dog for assistance with visual impairment. Today they happened to come to the pew where I was already sitting, and she had the dog back into the space between pews using the command "step back" followed by a series of "beep beep beep" until the dog had gone far enough. I commented that I loved that she used the sound of a reversing truck, and she said it had been the intuitive choice.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There's a huge 80% off sale at LL Bean online right now.
I grabbed myself a Chamois shirt and a high quality rain coat for cheap: [link]

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Are you sure that is a legit L.L.Bean URL?

It came from an LL Bean ad on FB. Beyond that, IDK. It was a very short running clearance sale.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
That link now goes to a site with furniture.
The llbean.com website does not show an 80% sale.

Always Anti-fascist!
Rewatching HIMYM(knowing I'm not gonna watch the end), alternating between thinking of JZ and imagining how different a show like that would be if David Simon got that title first, hee hee.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Are we talking about the new series of Doctor Who, and if so, in which thread?
After not being much impressed with the new batch of episodes, this latest one knocked me on my ass and made my housemate cry. So of course I'm craving Buffista commentary.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I helped my sister paint the bottom of her and her husband’s boat with anti-stuff paint (it keeps small creatures, algae, and other unwanteds from growing on it) this past weekend. It doesn’t seem like a big boat from above (although still more boat than I have) but it is a lot bigger when one is crouched under the bottom of the hull with a roller and paint tray. Still, I’ll be going to hang out on the boat a fair bit this summer, so I’m glad I could contribute a bit.
Bev, I’m so glad you had a chance to catch up with your grandson!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don’t think there has been much Doctor. Who discussion yet, Karl, but I believe Boxed Set is the thread for it
