Judging
mandalay:
I know it’s so overdone around these parts to judge people on what books they read/like, but I can’t help it. The Alchemist? Really? You sure you want to list that? Sure I skimmed it to see what all the fuss was about, but who says it’s one of their top five? And The Kite Runner? Way to expand your horizons there to a book that everyone has read. I know I should be glad that people are...

Having a chip on one's shoulder
magicmolly:
“The saying originated during the nineteenth century in the United States, where people wanting a physical fight would carry a chip of wood on their shoulder, daring others to knock it off.” (Wikipedia)
Excellent. We should follow suit. For those who don’t want a fight, there could be other accessories. If you wanted a free sample of cheese, for example, you could wear a toothpick...
It's so hard to be this attractive.......
mandalay:
to all the wrong people. In particular, the many, many mid-40s guys who apparently want to marry me. I’m guessing they do a search for 30 and up, see that I am gainfully employed (not a golddigger!) and bam, they start seeing picket fences and fresh squeezed orange juice.
One guy has sent me 4 emails today, with NO replies from me. This is why people are afraid of the internet, for...

esquisse:
At a meeting in the Roosevelt Room with business leaders to discuss the economy, President Obama asked to make an unrelated comment — on the weather.
“My children’s school was canceled today, because of what? Some ice,” Obama said, and all at the table started laughing.
“As my children pointed out, in Chicago school is never canceled,” he continued. He said that in their old...

Man trapped by sofa sipped whisky - BBC News →
travors:A man who became trapped beneath his sofa for two days said he survived by sipping from a bottle of whisky. “The whole settee tipped over catching me like a rat in a trap,” he said “I took a sip of [the whisky] and thought, well this isn’t too bad.”
I like a positive outlook. Bless his heart. -MATC

it’s freezing out. single digits, negative digits, whatever. but honestly, sluts never get cold. even in this weather, they can wear leggings with skirts, or just skirts. and some revealing skimpy top. oh, and a pair of ugg boots. and they’re still not cold.
sluts are invincible.
Sluts don’t need heat, only dick. -MATC
