We have a lot of plants and gardens threads. Lots and lots. Some of them are about vegetable gardens, some are about flower gardens, some are about both.
Here's one called plants/gardens:

I remember a thread about slugs.

That wasn't the one I was thinking of. I had talked about the David Attenborough's life in the undergrowth. There is an amazing footage of slugs mating. :)
We need a new thread. We need a new thread.

I always thought if a cat could talk, they would speak in a very posh and proper English accent.
I think it just stems from the "I can haz cheezburger" website. But the catspeak has broadened out from there and is not just haz cheezburger anymore.


Our local theaters were bought out by Larry H. Miller's MegaPlex monstrosity. This is the company that refused to show "Brokeback Mountain" because they're just too fucking moral to allow anyone to see it.
Anyway, they've pretty much shut down the real life box office, pushing everyone towards buying tickets online. They also make you SELECT YOUR FUCKING SEAT before you get into the theater. So if I'm planning to meet three friends at the theater, one of us has to buy all of the tix because otherwise we'll never end up sitting together. WTF??? Assigned seats in a fucking movie theater? Suck it, motherfucker!!
So I go online, because it's pretty much the only option for tix, and they charge A FUCKING $1 SERVICE CHARGE FOR EVERY TICKET!
Not a service charge for the transaction, but for EVERY FUCKING TICKET.
Did I mention I'm pissed, and if there were ANY OTHER option within 50 miles I would take it.
FUCKERS!
Oh. And merry christmas.
Yeah that is bad. I heard your wife's friend Richard Roeper saying how great this was, buying your ticket online and reserving a specific seat. He's always full of BS though.

We don't even usually know how many people are in our group until we get to the theater. We plan for a certain number, but someone usually can't make it, or brings a friend. So how does THAT work?
It doesn't.

I am at the Sydney Opera House with my daughter, waiting for the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular to start.

Nice!

Waitress: "Would you like dessert? We have some lovely cookies."
Boy: "Cookies?"
Mother: "Biscuits."
Boy: "Oh yes. I'd like some."

*sigh* screw it, its going to be one of those days, whether I want it or not.

I am feeling rather accomplished so live vicariously. Little finally let me play "cahs" with him, too.

We call them biscuits too. The only exception is if they are choc chip, and then they are "cookies".
I call everything a cookie. Even if it's a piece of pie, a piece of quiche, a bowl of chili, a submarine sandwich, a glass of beer, or a barrel of salad. It's all cookies! May I have another cookie, please? Yes! I've eaten my cookie, now may I have a cookie? Of course you may. Here is your cookie. Now that you've finished your cookie, here is your cookie.

Yes. You can have your cookie and eat a cookie, too.
I just received a phone call from my brother. I haven't spoken to him since February. I am glad birthdays & Christmas exist otherwise we would never catch up. He is the only sibling I bother with.

According to the Scottish National Dictionary, its Scottish name derives from the diminutive form (+ suffix -ie) of the word cook, giving the Middle Scots cookie, cooky or cu(c)kie. It also gives an alternative etymology, from the Dutch word koekje, the diminutive of koek, a cake. There was much trade and cultural contact across the North Sea between the Low Countries and Scotland during the Middle Ages, which can also be seen in the history of curling and, perhaps, golf.
