Christ, that school must have the most beautiful teens in the world if she's considered ugly. And even then...

maybe there WAS a miracle happening

Talent and drive aside, people called that gorgeous creature *ugly*?
She’s stunning and could easily model all her own designs.

Uh, yeah, that’s...not how you make cocktail sauce. That’s...why would you think that would produce cocktail sauce?

This isn’t a restaurant story, but you haven’t lived until a 90-year-old woman yells at you for 10 minutes because she’s only getting 10 cents while returning the $2 pair of socks she bought 10 years ago.

I really hope his name is something like Mr. Pooter Excelsior III Valiant Trotter.

Why is a flatulent pony even a thing?

See, I look at cranky, demandy, complainy, bitter elderly people,and backtrace it to the cranky, demandy, complainy, bitter young and middle-aged people, only we often dress it up in entertaining sarcasm and snark. But if your entire life consists of angrily ranting about things that frustrate you, you are setting…

TEA EMERGENCIES INCLUDE: Tea exists, and is not currently being consumed by me. Thanks.

I am 6’0 so was constantly bending down to talk to them/transport them. Anyway, while shelving a large amount of books on the bottom two rows I…

“Instead of using 100% of her brain, what if she used 110% percent of her brain!?!”

Well-played.

I really enjoyed Ancillary Sword as well. I liked the change in pace and the focus on character depth, as well as the portrait of the nuances of a society. The reaction to it reminds me of the reaction to Cibola Burns in Corey’s Expanse series. Seems some readers just want the same thing again and again with each…

I was thinking the exact same thing, it would be smarter to sell it in a state where you can’t get actual fresh lobster for a reasonable price. So just about anywhere that’s not Maine.

I thought you didn't do poop stories?

I don’t see why they don’t do this nationally, if they are going to do it at all. This would be something new in Texas. We are not eating a lot of lobster rolls in Texas, McDonalds would not have a lot of competition for customers wanting lobster rolls in Texas, and in Texas maybe we would not be so judgy about what…
