Chimes Ginger Chews are really scrumptious. They taste like concentrated essence of crystallized ginger, or the inside of the bottle if you let ginger beer sit outside and evaporate in the sun all day. The only problem is the texture: they start out firm, quickly disintegrate into something like

Steve Dave FTW, because he made coffee come out of my nose.

I fucking LOVE the 39 steps. LOFF EET!

"fevered and borderline-experimental"

Freaks and Geeks, definitely. Buffy the Vampire slayer, certainly. Felicity, occasionally.

But whatever happened to Montana Wildhack?

Coming through Slaughter…

Are you guys serious? She looks like a duck-billed dinosaur! Every time she appears without a strand of prehistoric fern dangling from the side of her mouth it's a surprise.

Where she comes from, Uhura sings a pretty song…and there's always Space Hippie music in the air.

Carol Brown, you obviously did not attend my high school, where this kind of thing happened all the time.
