My mom used to sing this song to get us out of bed in the morning. It worked like a charm because we were always like "dear god, make it stop!" That only encouraged her.

Oh, I'm sure! I just thought his expression was hilarious.

This guy!

Dear Vodka,

Also, the fact that Nutty Bars aren't number one invalidates this entire list.

You'd never had Swiss Rolls before? Did you HAVE a childhood?

Yes, but scip, which means ship, is a neuter noun, not feminine.

Old English scip is neuter.

I don't really know, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were something on the books about if your establishment has more than one bathroom, you've got to reserve at least one for men, one for women.

No, this is in the Midwest. University town, pretty sizable and visible trans* population for where we are.

There's a restaurant in my town that has individual bathrooms with male/female signs on them. Right below those are laser-printed paper signs that say something to the extent of "we've only gendered these bathrooms because we're legally required to. Use whichever you want" So, in a lot of areas, it might be a code…

Heh. Define 'forever'. One day our planet's atmosphere will be like that of Venus. Maybe we will have been able to colonize Mars by then. But one day the sun will explode. So, let's assume that by then we'll all be on a bazillion year spaceship ride to some other planet. That'd be pretty good. Although, when…

It's interesting to see this topic here... There are transhumanist and radical-life-extension topics over on io9 semi-regularly and whenever I wander into one I'm always like "Wow, the denial in here is just dripping off the walls." I don't know whether the difference in tone of those comments sections and this one…

Yeah, Surge! When that came out, my highschool got a dedicated Surge vending machine that sold cans for 25 cents. Needless to say, everyone I knew was hopped up on that shit daily from then 'till graduation.

My grandma used to make that too! She called it Zebra Cake. I can never find the right kind of cookies to make it myself, and I've been on a quest for them for several months.

Guys, what are these conversations in the comments? Since when is addiction even primarily about the thing to which one is addicted? ("Guys, I do meth because it's awesome! Not because I need to be awake for 5 days at a time in order to work the three fulltime minimum wage jobs that together just barely keep my family…

Do we not have anti-monopoly laws in this country anymore? For fuck's sake!

In real life, employers aren't going to be like: "well our shareholders are already filthy rich and creating jobs is a nice thing to do, so let's hire the guy for triple the anticipated revenue gain.

I gave up shampoo for con-washing (conditioner only) about a year ago - I was kind of greasy looking for the first two weeks, but now it doesn't look any different than when I used to shampoo. I just scrub my scalp with my fingers under the water, apply conditioner, and go about the rest of my shower. My hair is wavy…

This is exactly what I was going to say. If the whole show hinges on 'will they or won't they?' then, duh, answering the question is going to kill the momentum. If you've got characters and a plot that exist for more than the will they/won't they tension, then you might well be fine.
