You called Buffalo civilized. Then again, Buffalo now is a completely different beast from when I last lived around there 13 years ago. I'm still shocked every time I go back to visit my family.

It was Friday 3 days ago for me. I'm halfway through my weekend.
I want a five day weekend!
Fine, "more" civilized parts of the city.

Penguin got himself a 2d waifu.
This happens to me all the time. Sometimes my brain just automatically puns and I don't even realize.
I was going to continue the parody.
I had no idea there were so many verses to this.

I thought this was going to be the Batman villain. Disappoint.
My first thought too, but this was cute enough to let it slide.
Where's the thread?
Is it me or are review percentages on Metacritic lower than ANY other review deallys.
The whole thing is a thread.
On the one hand I love Mastermind, but do I love it ENOUGH to buy it and put away all those pegs each time?
This is why I like Jotto.
(though the variant I prefer to play is with 4 letters, and where the letter has to be both correct and in correct placement to count)

I'm going at the end of the month. Tell me what to see!Less than 5 days and I'll be in Ireland. I'm starting to get excited
Oh, there will be pictures!
This doesn't really matter, but I'm feeling affectionate and I just wanted to say that I really do love you guys a great deal.
I know I'm not around as much as I used to be, but you guys aren't ever far from my thoughts and I love you. I really really do. And @figmentPez is one of my favorite people, I adore him.
Thanks for making this place my home away from home you fools.

I love that it's in cursive!! I still write in cursive a lot of the time even though most people tell me not to.Because my handwriting isn't good enough for it's own thread...
(The Ahab is made of vegetal resin, which has a very... unique... smell. It puts a lot of people off.)
I'm kind of turned on by the pen and ink, not gonna lie.
I refilled my pens after about a year and a half set aside just after I had that tooth out. It lit the fires again, and I've been filling up the pages ever since. Started hanging out on the Fountain Pen Network forums again, and bought a new clutch of pens and inks. It's been fun to watch my handwriting steadily improve over the last couple of months.
...huh? Who are these people? Do they insist you only type in non-serif fonts, too?

Dude, cool it with the serifs.
Company higher-up: "Hey, we got an applicant for a Chinese-to-English editor position in the company, and she did a translation and editing test. Have a look, will you?"
Me: (after taking a look at her test) "Her translation and editing skills are completely insufficient. She's got grammatical errors everywhere, and there are many misspelled words, which means she's either a bad speller or she's careless, both of which are not acceptable as an editor. I do not think we should hire this person."
Company higher-up: "Have I mentioned she's hot? Here's her photo."
Me: "Now hang on, I may have been a bit hasty earlier... on-the-job training is a thing, so we could bring her up to the required standard, and we do have a shortage of editors right now..."
