MeFi post: It doesn’t have any kind of weight behind it, as such. But maybe that’s the irony of it.
I had a hectic day yesterday. One of those days where things just really wear on, and when you've still got 6 hours left, you want to be asleep.

When I get home, I like to wind down by reading a little. This sometimes involves metafilter. I read this post, and smiled a little, it was a meta rickroll. That doesn't happen often.

I went to sleep, comfortable, and with a feeling that everything in the world was right. I dreamed. I hardly ever... [more]

Ask post: Healthy chips and dip?

1 to 1 1/2 cups of raw (not roasted) cashews, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, or combination (a mix of cashew and mac are best)

MeFi post: The Soul of France
You just have to wonder, who was the first person to think to themselves, "What if I caught one of those little bunting things, poked its eyes out, force fed it oats, millet and figs until it was four times as big as it is now, then drowned it in cognac, roasted it and ate it? I wonder if that would taste good?"

Ask post: I don't want a friend. I want quiet after 10:00PM
I have a chain of emails to prove it.

You've been emailing your association? I dunno... somehow emails don't have the same bite as certified letters.

she was asked to appear at a meeting with me and our association. She was a no show and they fined her again. Inexplicably, the noise stopped for almost six months and it was awesome.

It sounds like she at least responds to being... [more]

Is this something you need to be a fucking idiot to give a shit about?
