There isn't one in the back.

It's a real-life silencer!

"it was not the only death in the morning to the way that you want."
Now you all know why sometimes i make so little sense

The children are watching Curious George on PBS Kids. Behind me, I hear a very familiar voice. It's the Chef.

And it occurred to me. "That's fucking Minsc from Baldur's Gate right there."

Now I can't help picturing a fat chef slaughtering gnolls to save a witch.

And I never realized that Minsc is Italian.

Jack Bruce (my favoritist bassist) died today

Wow, what a shame. He was a great bassist.

Any recommendations where to start with them? I bought their EP "Long Live the King" (because it was a couple bucks), but learned that it is only outtakes from the studio album. I haven't listened to it yet, with the intent to start somewhere else. Thoughts?

The Crane Wife had me hooked, but you really can't go wrong with Castaways and Cutouts, Picaresque, or The Hazards of Love. Colin Meloy is an excellent storyteller and lyricist, and he shines on all four of these.

Pretty much this. I love every single one of their albums, personally. I would probably start with The Crane Wife, but you can't go wrong with any of those.

For me it was Picaresque~ this is one of my top five favorite songs of all time, from that album:



Since you are in the Northwest, if you ever make it to Missoula, Colin Meloy went to college there, and did some garage band stuff. Decemberists are big there.

So we had open enrollment for insurance at work. They have us get blood work done and if you pass 3 of the 5 danger areas you get a hella discount on the price of the insurance.

I passed two of them. So fucking close.
The ones (besides being a smoker) I didn't pass - so fucking marginally.

I missed the BMI one by literally .37% (had to show a 5 percent change - mine was 4.62.)
Missed the glucose one by 18 ML.
HDL colesteral? - Needed 50 to pass - I had 42.

You've *got* to be kidding right? sooooo freeekin' close!!!!!!!! *shakes fist*

that sucks

My insurance didn't pay for my accident bills (

That.sucks too Matty

ture

I still have an uninsured $4000+ ER visit that I've not paid a cent on from years ago, too -_-

I have an insured ER visit that I've already paid the co-pay for, but I still keep getting bills in the mail.

Oh, it's not actually a punchline. It might be a happening.

The Happening?

I'm eating salad. I LOVE SALAD

Is anyone else eating salad?

I am not but I would not mind it since i am hungry

Nay, I'm eating grilled cheese panini while I try to type a paper and continue to distract myself with mafia.

i've never had a panini

I'm just relaxing, watching handegg, and clipping'ing. If that's a word.

I'm also eating a bowl of cereal.

i am gnawing on a carrot because of mongoose

This is going to sound pedantic, but it's not, I promise.

Is grilled cheese panini/o redundant or does it convey something specific? For instance, a souped up sandwich with fresh basil or sliced pears/tomatoes/prosciutto? Or maybe it signifies a certain type of bread? Ooooh, some nice ooey gooey Cuban bread with that tiiiiight, crusty outside?

YOU CANNOT GET REAL CUBAN BREAD IN TALLAHASSEE AND I HATE MY LIFE

Just hit refresh, Alison.

That's not going to get me any Cuban bread!

In the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, the term panini has been adopted to refer to pressed and toasted sandwiches

This weekend, we watched a documentary about honey-flavored booze made by a brewery in Missouri.

You should check it out, it's called Mead Me in St. Louis

Have you ever tried Barenjager? It's a German Honey booze, awesome and stupendous.

And I have fallen in love with Godzilla Haiku

I have not, but I would like to try that.

Also, I love the Godzilla macro and hope to see more.

Really good, not too sweet, and a nice bite. Good in tea for colds too.

And I dove headfirst into the tumblr for Godzilla Haiku, so yeah. I am in love.

I will literally drink anything with a bear on the label.

We definitely don't get real Cuban bread in Eugene. But we're still going to call it a panini dammit.

The final form of the Rebel Flagship of FTL had four bars of hull left.

I just wanted to tell you I ordered my first christmas presents today and I wish I were you and had ordered early.

We went to a Christmas market todayat the fairgrounds. Hundreds of vendors had wares for sale. I bought myself a teddy bear and finished my shopping.

Then we went downtown and watched the tree being lit and watched the parade and ate gigantic corndogs.
