nick gillespie was checking me out in a gross-ish way at a new year's eve party. i think. or i had food in my teeth. either way, even though i have never talked to him, i am prepared to say i found him vaguely creepy.

yeah, I didn't want to say this in the body of the post, but he's creepy. it's like there's a flashing light on his head saying "sexual harassment."

He was perhaps envisioning you as part of the coming-libertarian utopia.

I can't believe you said that, SB.

the coming-libertarian utopia

Labs would be all over that.

Surely it was the coming libertarian utopia a/n/d a po/ ny.

Was he wearing this jacket?

People, people, the hyphen, it's all about the hyphen.

See, when he says "take my wife," one assumes that he's speaking in the "as an example" sense, but then he blows your mind when he plays off the other, more common definition of "take" (to come into possession of), with just a single word, "please"!

I can't believe you said that, SB.

Why? Is poor taste "out" all of a sudden?

I was too busy misreading the penultimate line as "..demi-sac" and getting disturbed.

Nah, I was just trying to make you feel dirty.

From now on, Joe will only interact with Joe.

Now I feel dirty.

Brut champagne often has a vinegary, I'm-giving-you-heartburn flavor.

I believe this is why creme de cassis was invented?

horizontal rule
20

Ben, seriously, do not suggest adding Creme de Cassis to any host offering you champagne.

horizontal rule
21

I bet you shouldn't suggest adding it to the champagne, either, as it might be considered rude.

However, a thread at egullet suggested that the best wines for Kir would be such that you probably wouldn't want to drink them plain, and would really benefit from the added sweetness of the cassis, and that this is also more historically "correct": Any screechingly acidic white will do. The original idea was to sweeten up the tart aligote with the cassis to make it more palatable.

Was Nick Gillespie at all reminiscent of your favorite fudge?

Your sister's cute too. Mayybe I'll pass her a note during third period tomorrow annd we can meet behind the slide after school.

Also, dude -- you make the best ham. I nearly switched religions after that feast...

Btw what would be wrong with daughter Y repeating that "white people look stupid with dreadlocks"? Guy gets offended and never speaks to you again, it's all good, because he's a WHITE GUY WITH DREADLOCKS. I'm not one to look down on fashion victims, but white-guy-with-dreadlocks is putting way too much effort into his fashion douchebaggery.

Right but if he married the younger Alameida it would be problematic. Blood is thicker than mousse. (Wait, no, maybe it isn't.)

horizontal rule

Nick always wears that cook. The mysterious Alameida is the best cook ever. She also keeps not mentioning that the sister in question is a nazi or some shit. Ezra didn't know what pate was.

By which I mean that Nick always wears that jacket.

Ezra: it's the top of a person's head.

Ezra didn't know what pate was.

Well, he's from Irvine.

A nazi?

A nazi?

That sounds like a "telephone" or, if you like, Osneresque, rendering of the fact that she does WWII re-enactments, if I recall correctly.

horizontal rule
34

Her interest in Ezra would be more interesting in the telephone/Osner version.

horizontal rule
35

Yeah, I thought the M!@ story was that she kneecaps faux-Nazis in barfights, rather than that she is one.

Please. It's "/v\!@".
