@lahosken Beheads bridge, surely.

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to link to one of my favorite pieces of writing ever.

@lahosken It used to be a thing.

According to the E.U. regulations, extra-virgin oil must have appreciable levels of pepperiness, bitterness, and fruitiness, and must be free of sixteen official taste flaws, which include “musty,” “fusty,” “cucumber,” and “grubby.”

After the first volcanic slurps, the strippaggi grew softer and more meditative, and took on personal notes, the marquess’s wheezy and almost wistful, Zaramella’s deep and wet, as if he were gargling Epsom salts.

@lahosken Pic 3: Forbidden slide.

@jmac Also if they were real, they would be illegally parked on the sidewalk, like the ones across the street.

@phooky Ms. 5 was totally satisfied. The wait wasn't so bad because we ended up between two sets of similarly-aged kids, so she got some single-serving friends.

I thought it was fine, but not really worth waiting 3 hours for. But school was closed so we didn't have anywhere else to be. And I was happy to make my kid happy.

They told me 2 hours when I got on the line (maybe 100ft past the corner on Amsterdam), and I thought, "naw, it'll only be 45 minutes." I was wrong.

@phooky Yesterday, I spent the entire three hours in line for Daedalum telling Ms. 5 that there would definitely be a minotaur. (Also spent it regretting not buying and bringing a bull mask).

@igb Do the square floor tiles bother you? They bother me. Why would you have 60-degree angles everywhere and then not do hexagonal floor tiles? I had always heard that the Texans do everything in sixes...
