I'm in a happy relationship, and this is /still/ amazing. Much champagne for you!

This is SO frustrating. "It's amazing that a large company sees us as human beings! We should give them ALL THE COOKIES! Go them!" *barfs*

What are mudflap skirts? I tried looking it up, but only got either pictures of cheerleaders or car accessories.

That looks comfy as hell. I would totally wear that.

I saw a set of rhinestone mini-spirals the other day. I guess you were supposed to twist them into your hair? Either way, instant High School flashback.

Brava for being patient with that idiot. "Let's not be that blog", indeed.

This is why I'm very happy with my plan of "ridiculous Vegas wedding during a road trip". It's cheap (if I want the party, I can have it when I get back), and I figure with the stress of traveling together, I'll know if I can stand this guy for the long haul by the time we get there.

Argh, Kinja. When I say I don't want to publish something, I really don't want to publish it. Stoppit.

Good gracious. My takeaway from this is that you never sleep. It sounds like you only get 4 hours a night?

"What am I doing here with this asshole? I can't believe I let myself be talked into this."

You are my hero. That is /excellently/ done.

...okay, maybe a couple of the other ones. Or maybe I'll just throw horse patties at them until they run away? I didn't think this through, is what I'm saying.

I would gladly work as a bodyguard for that truck at a bronycon. I'm not even particularly buff, and I'm pretty sure I could take on a couple of them at a time.

FWIW, depending on the grocery stores you go to, you can find some really great cuts of offal for really cheap. I recommend going to East Asian supermarkets or ones in Central/South American neighborhoods. It's still not nearly as much as what we /should/ be seeing, given how many animals are slaughtered for meat, but…

Don't forget the butter, if someone forgot to boil it properly with the spices.

What would you say counts as overtipping? I always tip 20% on delivery (and eat-in)- should I be tipping more?

No, that actually makes sense. I see how you get that- 15 is 10+5, 6 is 5+1, 10 + (5+5+1). Any way you get to the correct answer is a good way!

She, but thank you. One of my major pet peeves is people complaining about the way modern people talk, as if the past were some golden age, meant to be preserved in amber forever. Even French, which has an entire academy devoted to keeping French as traditional and free from evolution as possible, has had to let it…

It depends on the financial situation of the guy I'm seeing. When I was dating someone who literally made more money than he knew what to do with, I let him pay for nearly all the dates. If I'm dating someone who's more on my level, finance-wise, we trade off paying for meals. It's not something we've ever really…

You're kidding, right? They're not using verbatim transcripts in the article - the quotes have been cleaned up for publication. If you talk to anyone, they're going to use "um"s and "you know"s because they give the brain time to come up with the next sentence. Go watch some Laugh-In if you really want to hear what…
