If this post is any indication of what is surely a charming personality, you don't have a lot of room to talk.

If you think pasties were invented in Nebraska, you are very stupid. There is mention of them in a French cookbook from ~1300 and they were widely mentioned and known of long before that, even.

If they're shaped into forms that hold together, they're called "potato cakes". Hash browns are ONLY loose as pictured in the photo above.

It's called "hash browns" and yes, it's grated potato fried in a skillet until toasty. They are very good.

He's actually still cool on it— hopelessly in love with Abbie, and helping her in spite of being possessed. Very romantic in a weird way.

I can't stop LOLing over this post. ILU.

Yeah, they weren't lower middle class. They were landed gentry, which if anything made them lower upper class. "Shabby genteel" is another description of their echelon/strata in their society at the time.

Possibly. Hard to tell, because there's every possibility that he actually meant it seriously and non-sarcastically.

I could never be a server because if someone threw chicken (or anything else) at me, I'd flip the fucking table and choke his ass D-E-D dead.

Martyrs are dull as fuck.

I had to use my car radio, when my phone was dead and I couldn't access my music, and experienced the grave misfortune of one of their songs, which was ripe with misogynist lyrics (something like "you can't steal my girl, she belongs to me") and a chorus of "na na na na na".

Ghastly.

TBH, it's not that much worse than the original-speed version.

He leaves me cold. Weird looking, awful hair, and their music is ghastly. Color me baffled.

That's not enough for them. EVERYone has to do things THEIR way or they get cranky.

Doubt it. That might make sense.

Dude, I am SO with you on this. I don't even believe any of this stuff is true, I'm Buddhist. If you're looking for continuity, you're not going to find it in Christianity. Predestination completely negates the entire concept of free will, i.e. the point of that sacred apple/snake deal back at the start. I'm just…

You've basically described both Calvinism and Jehovah's Witnessing in a nutshell.

Um, I writhe in discomfort at having to defend an anti-choice issue, but they're not worked up about her failing to produce children. They're the few anti-choicers that aren't *complete* hypocrites regarding their dogma on this issue.

I've been doing this for years, it's a great way to keep them separated and ever protected in the event of toiletry spillage.
