  1. Good gods, that thing is even cuter than a sugar glider.
  2. Oh, good, that makes me feel much better. Now I just have to dig through the Events and Signings board and find my post again and fix it.
  3. OK, so I'm the person who originally obtained that WoB. It's important for me to note at this point that the bit in parentheses about how that would "look weird" in the original WoB was an interjection by me. This is confusing and stupid and was a terrible, awful thing for me to do. I need to dig back in and edit the original post and change it into a footnote or something. And if this has been input into the Theoryland database, I need to ask @WeiryWriter to fix it there, too. I will go find the broadsheet article and pore over it when I get home from work tonight. I have thinky thoughts brewing, but I need to read over the full reference before I can articulate them properly.
  4. If someone can find this broadsheet passage, I'd like to take a second look at it. (It would almost certainly be in Shadows of Self or Bands of Mourning. I've been over Alloy of Law with a fine-toothed comb.) A lot of folks take the broadsheets with a grain of salt, as a lot of them come via unreliable narrators; I'd like to dig through and look at the circumstances and wording. Like...how do you know if the metals themselves are really gone, unless you're burning off a piercing? Was this written in the context of being an in-world theory, or through actual experimentation?
  5. Not being a member of the Dark Alley, I do not sneak spikes into cookies. Or use cookies as a code word for spikes. (Besides, these were theoretical RL cookies. I need someone to clear all of those obnoxious "oh hi I look like chocolate chip at first glance but I'm NOT" monstrosities from my path before I accidentally bite into one and get a horrible raisin surprise.)
  6. No, see, their intent is that you should hang the blinds from the dining room ceiling so that you can lower them between yourself and any troublesome family members. It keeps dinner peaceful. You just have to be careful about passing the rolls. That author be trollin'.
  7. Oh, the curse of airplanes being made of aluminum alloy. (You can't steelpush off of 'em.)
  8. Yeah, but everybody's in different time zones, so that's actually really hard to enforce. It's weird. "Oh, so shocking!" No, it really wouldn't be if you put half as much effort into knowing who I am as you put into posting annoying "uplifting" memes. You know, I expect this sort of thing out of @Zathoth, but et tu, @Quiver? lolwut
  9. Nah, there's no hate. There are, perhaps, questions on what may have gone horribly wrong with the development of your taste buds, but no hate. (I hereby bequeath you my share of all oatmeal raisin cookies.)
  10. OK, now something that's not me complaining: my sister is coming from Portland to visit over New Year's! I am excite.
  11. Heh. I just looked at your profile and nearly choked when I realized that you were born after the turn of the millennium. I am having intelligent conversations with kids who have never known the 20th century. This is so weird. Crap. I also just realized that I am now the same age my mom was when I hit adulthood. How did this happen? I am not changing my member title back. I think Eldritch Goddess of Eccentricity sounds like more fun.
  12. I think I just annoyed one of my aunts by daring to curse on Facebook. Seriously, woman, I am 39 years old; do stop pretending like I am still a wide-eyed innocent. It's not funny anymore. The cursing wasn't even that bad*. There are too many spheres of my life where I have to filter myself; I am NOT going to be shamed into making Facebook one of them. *like would have barely made the Shard filters twitch
  13. Joke's on you - our summers are only incrementally less muggy. And everything here is air conditioned.
  14. Pish. You do a metric crapton of work to keep this place going, and we appreciate you.
  15. Ah, good. I thought that might be it, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't permanent. I might be a little too dependent on buttons.
  16. Do you want our cold? Cause you can have it. Please. Take it.
  17. @Chaos - Is this why my "Content I Started" link is now gone all screwball as well? (You know, the one that replaces the old "activity in threads wot we posted in" that we can't get to on our own, but you found a way to link us to and that I saved as a shortcut onto my browser because I am a weirdo who needs to make buttons for everything?)
  18. He has been diagnosed with muscle spasms and prescribed a muscle relaxer. He will be fine.
  19. Yes! It's tragic. And now we are sitting waiting in urgent care. You know it's hurting bad when my husband is deciding to see a doctor of his own accord .
  20. I use it sometimes, and I live in Kansas City. (Granted, it's lingual bleedover from Texan cousins. I tend to pick up vocal mannerisms from people I hang around with.) Edited to Add: Kind of in the mood for Sweet Tomatoes. Which would be fine, except the owning company filed for bankruptcy weeks and weeks ago and abruptly closed every restaurant and summarily fired everybody. So, not fine. Grump. And I am still sick. Getting better, but tired of having my sinuses held hostage by breeding gelatinous cubes. And James's back is giving him problems. Like to the point where he's actually considering seeing a doctor of his own accord. That's how I know it's bad.
  21. Just a joke that spiraled out of control, took a nose dive, landed at the local community college for some classes on baking, and then went back to spiraling around in loop-de-loops again.
  22. Well, it can be his ultimate goal and still also not actually be how it all turns out. At any rate, whatever the outcome, I trust that Brandon will send our heads spinning many times over during the ride.
  23. Now that I think about it, I am actually kind of surprised that wasn't the actual response.
  24. She has not always been a vegetarian. It's been kind of hilarious. "Oh, I like gizzards!" "EW! Go away!" "But they're so yummy!" "You're a vegetarian!" "I know, but!"
  25. You know what's amusing? Listening to a vegetarian trying to convince an omnivore that gizzards are delicious.
