I saw these in gold- and silver-sparkle ladies versions in the shoe store the other day.

I refer to him as Lim-bog because I can't be bothered to remember how to spell his name beyond approximate phonetics. :)

I remember, as a kid, the Calgary airport not only had a play area, but a play area with video games. I passed the time playing Mario on the N64, I kid you not. Then again, the city had a McDonald's with a video game center, too, so maybe it's a Calgary thing...

In Calculus B, widely held in our school to be the most difficult of the three, my professor took a similar stance. With four classes a week, we had time to have an exam on the material every week.

Houses can be that cheap in the South in general. I often saw advertisements for mortgages of $750/month for 3 or 4 bedroom homes in new developments. $200,000 is considered costly; where I'm from on the West Coast, that'd be a dump.

Having access to the word "y'all" makes translating in languages classes so much easier. What happened to the rest of English that we lost it?

Exactly. Exactly.

I feel this horrible shame about how messy my apartment is. I rage at myself for being a slob... and then I curl up in my armchair and ignore the mess in the kitchen (and on my coffee table) anyway because I can't be bothered to clean it up. :D

I was really hoping this was going to be some sort of parody or snark. Alas.

No; he doesn't concern himself with the undead, only the unborn.

I remember, in 2009, saying to my friend in university, "Blah blah blah on Facebook" and her reply was, "What's Facebook?"

They weren't godless! In fact, they had a surplus of gods! *grin*

I always make a point to talk to my classmates, whomever I am sitting near. If it's girlfriends you're specifically shooting for, try to talk to them. I'd always ask, "Hey, did you do the homework? What did you think of the reading? God, it's so sunny/the snow's so pretty, I wish I were outside." There are certain…

Once upon a time, I saw the Arrogant Worms in concert. It was amazing.

Firefly's a rat. :) As for baby-safe, that's a question I would pose to someone more knowledgeable than myself. However, I will give you my two-cents, to be taken with a grain of salt. I've only had a total of three rats, and all my knowledge has been gleaned from the internet and that minimal experience.

I'm reading this and wondering what, exactly, would be bad about posting it on Facebook and letting him see ;) It sure doesn't sound like it'd scare him off! I'm so happy for you, Internet Stranger!

That's basically what I did the other week, with exactly the same motivation. The whole set-up to the games had me in stitches more often than not. Hurrah for glutting on books!

I got this! And for a bit of variety, my darling Firefly, interested in EVERYTHING, especially cameras. Even crappy iPod cameras.

Let's not forget the man's own retort! It just keeps getting better...

I know of at least one in north Alabama; I wouldn't be surprised if several of its neighbours had similar origins. I was flabbergasted because the house is beautiful and so historic.
