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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

She got back and went to buy groceries. (She says she's fine, which I hope is true, but she always says that, anyway. Sometimes it sucks that she's still got to do my share--that I can't say "That's okay...let me handle it this week." and have that be a thing.) I mean, I guess we could do deliveries if we had to, or were super-into workers' rights violations, but I wasn't just talking about these groceries, but the whole standing-on-even-metaphorical feet thing.

Happy birthday, Lisa. (Which apparently will always make me hear that song on "The Simpsons", but it was cute so that's okay.)

Happy, Happy Birthday, lisah! Hope your day is fab, and here's wishing you much joy in the coming year.

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

Many happy returns of the day, lisah!

Which apparently will always make me hear that song on "The Simpsons"

That made me smile
