I also have a friend (fuck, why am I collecting people with shit taste in booze??!?!) who truly deeply loves a chocolate martini that is JUST CLEAR CREME DE COCOA that has been refrigerated. I love her to bits, but nothing DeKuyper makes is made to be consumed strait.

Amaretto, Kahlua, and heavy cream (or half&half)... served over ice, or if you're my mom (ugh, Moooooom, stahp) blended with ice.

Your mother and my mother should be buddies. My mom is forever asking serves and bartenders to make her a Toasted Almond. None of them have any idea what it is, and she doesn't exactly know either (this is usually when i have to pull up a recipe on my phone and hand it to whoever my mom is trying to pull back into her…

Oh the gels... I LURVE the gels. I have my dad's super peely thin-like-razorblades nails, and until I found gels my nails were in a constant state of breaking. Polish (even when done at a schmancy salon) chips on me in a matter of hours.

The interesting thing about that is that while veterans are the first to be associated with PTSD, it is actually sexual assault victims (of any gender) who often suffer from the most severe forms of PTSD. (This is not an always absolute, war and sexual assault are different for everyone, as is the aftermath)

Interestingly, my big takeaway was that women's nipples and areola are offensive and men's aren't.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories - Salman Rushdie
Followed closely by The Satanic Verses - also Rushdie

Eucerin Intensive Repair is a great drug-store dry-skin fixer... if you want to be fancy about it, I love the Josie Maran Whipped Argan products - the Infinity Cream is amazing, but you'll need a few minutes for it to fully absorb so you don't feel oily.

Time has ended in this universe.

Psychic Paper tends to be useful in that regard...

Extract is considered blasphemy in my house - we use whole fruit and whole spices for any and all flavoring. It can be pricy, but is well worth it. A gallon of smooshed raspberries for a lambic beats a bottle of manufactured raspberry flavoring any day (also, I would like to formally state the lindeman's frambois is…

We brew with an Electric Brewery/HERMS and Brew-Pi on our conicals, so temperature control is a cinch in our house.

Mr. Bunny only agrees to one batch of pumpkin per year because of the nightmare of it... but he's totally fine with back-to-back brew days of lagered beers (Vienna Lager and a Munich Helles was a fun…

Mr. Bunny and I brew beer. We brew beer in a commercial-grade nano brewery in what was supposed to be a laundry room. Brewing good beer is REALLY HARD. Brewing any beer that involves using fresh roasted pumpkin is about 100x harder than brewing a lager. Pumpkin (and probably peach) really gum up the whole process, so…

The warehouse that is hiding the production of the nanobots is also a nod to the National Robotics Lab at Carnegie Mellon...

I'm sorry - is this guy saying that the rape problem on this planet is really just semantics? Definitional rape is the new rape rape is the new legitimate rape? Ugh.

The biggest upside to Rick Santorum getting the party nod will be the resurgence of the santorum neologism. I'm a bit worried about the Jeb thing though - the crazies have a rabid loyalty to the Bush name.

Fuuuuuuuck. in 2016 we HAVE to keep the WH or face a massive erosion of rights for half of our population.

Its time for the Are You a Rape Apologist litmus test!

It's completely his own business - but it is also part of a broader narrative about what it means to be transgender. Most of the mainstream media is pedaling this idea that someone can just go to the surgeon, say I wanna be dude/chick, and away goes their current gendered anatomy. This is so profoundly false, and…

So my dad has been a pretty intense distance cyclist my whole life - he's also as furry as my scottish terrier. When I was in college I would often go to my parents' house for proper food and access to cable. One evening I was walking through the living room, and down the stairs came dad. He sat at the bottom and put…
