YES! I love when John Lovitz as Potter stands up from his wheelchair and George cries "Why you're not even a cripple!"

It's important if you want to use a grid system effectively. And again if the rest of the world's coordinates are running N/S how much sense does it make to turn the grid diagonal? If you like it, that's fine but don't try and convince everyone else that it's a great idea.

You can't get lost when you have coordinates.

So you agree that grids work? Excellent we are on the same page.

It's weird because grids aren't diagonal? And because compass directions aren't diagonal? And because longitude and latitude lines aren't diagonal? The more you think about it the less sense it makes.

I agree with you sir! All wee need to do is get rid of "place streets" like 53rd pl and 53rd st. Then it's perfect.

Grid systems are like good hygiene; it works for everyone.

Ugh Chicago already has a grid system and ours makes more sense than yours. Double ugh.

Heh it makes me feel cold too. I was just trying to think of some logical explanation for the crazy.

I think people do that to entertain the sensibly dressed people around them. Cause there is no other good reason to leave your house in the dead of winter in summer clothes.

Just make sure you tell them you want the coat lining kind. There's a lighter kind that they use for pajamas that isn't as nice and thick as the coat lining.

Chiming in from the Chi, I too reuse to judge any winter gear someone is wearing. Sometimes it's just too damn cold. fuck being cute. Oh wait I do judge people NOT dressed sensibly in the winter time.

I mentioned this up thread but a decent fabric store should carry fleece back satin which is perfect for coat linings. Especially wool coats.

They totally make nice heavy fleece back satin for coat linings too. Whenever I sew a coat I use that for the lining. It makes HUGE difference when you're out in the windy weather. I have a black faux fur dress jacket I made that I wear until snow hits the ground when i want to look dressy.

I heart you.

Pajamas worn in public enrage me. But then again I'm totally judgey.

I'm totally guilty of this as well. I wasn't with a boyfriend or anything but I was at a school film screening and I saw this girl in a minidress and a short jacket and I said to my friend "I guess wearing band-aids across your ass is the thing to do" We laughed but yeah I was being a huge bitch. I also have an…

Uh my sister's husband was trying to name the baby "Millennium" and "Flash" Thankfully his mom piped up with a sarcastic "Why don't you just name the baby Batman?" that put an end to that nonsense.

Sometimes a man just has to chase a dog with a dinner fork.

That's what I was thinking! At least pick a cool vampire. Not some namby pamby ass twilight chump. Although personally I'm an Armand kinda girl myself.
