Wings are so good.
I used to hate messy food but then I just decided fuck it. It usually tastes so good and if anyone else is eating the same stuff it isn't like they'll give a shit that I'll got sauce on my fingers.
The second any gets on my face though I wet a napkin and clean up. Shit's undignified.

I've never understood ribs. They're just too much work.
If you eat them and think they're too much work, they weren't good ribs.
I don't eat ribs with my hands so they're always too much work.
:?
Is it an OCD thing, you don't like sauce under your nails?
Don't see a lot of ribs in this place and from what I understand it's generally not considered kosher to not use the silverware at any restaurant here really. Except maybe, maybe, TGIF.
I know, Elldren. If I could lime it harder, I totally would. When I was something like twelve, my mom did a chemical straightener for me and it turned out okay. I suspect because my hair was not quite as coarse and textured as it is now. But by the second or third time, my hair was like "Oh, no you don't, bitch. I know this trick." And it would just turn out super poofy and frizzy and I couldn't get it to curl and I couldn't get it to lay flat. It was horrendous.
The continuing saga has been spoiler'd to save the men of [chat] from an estrogen overload.
Even now, I went to a salon to get it done a year and a half ago because a friend doing her continuing ed needed a model for it. The whole class was over staring at my hair going "Oh my God. It didn't do anything." Except my friend who said, "No. It did something. It really dried the fuck out of her hair. Oh, I am so sorry." I was actually pissed at the instructor because my friend said she was going to use the "ethnic" blend on my hair, which tends to work better, and the instructor was like "No, she's white. Use the other stuff. It's less harsh." I tried to tell her~~
Kurtz/Short Lang/Long. I slip into German when I think it's cute or something. IDK.
I- I'm not sure what you mean Christmas tree-like. I'm not sure if I should be vaguely insulted or... But, uh, thanks for the advice. I think.
Yeah, I think my eyes tend to pop and look more green when my hair is blonde. I do like the effect.
Yes, that is the helix of Heroes fame. It's kind of a wardrobe staple of mine. I actually get a lot of compliments on it from the "mundanes."
oh no
you're one of those
(have you met fireguy? you two could have some great chats i think)
by "christmas-tree-like" i mean roughly conical. you do not want your top half to look roughly conical. you want to have definition to your head, neck and shoulders.
so i guess i prefer the short hair, or else growing it long and wearing it in an updo. you seem to have good body to your hair, so you could pull either one off.
Usage of the word mundane for my purposes essentially means anyone who has no geek tendencies. That certainly doesn't apply to anyone around here. It's just something a few friends of mine RL use and I picked up on. I don't mean it like "Oh God, the mundanes."
what we have geeks around here?
where?

London is pretty neat in some ways - while there is a defined centre and inner suburbs most of the city is a series of low rise communities based around high streets of varying levels of niceness or usefulness. This isn't just true in the inner, older zones, it even works out that way 10-15 miles out in the post war suburbs. The pedestrian traffic is quite impressive even that far out.
this was my experience living in St Albans, which is either its own town or else an outer-outer suburb of London depending on what you're looking at.
Like, there were a several little shopping areas with markets and a few shops within a mile or two, and a larger downtown probably two or three miles away that was well-served by buses.
we rarely drove to do errands, which was a shock coming from the western US, where any trip required turning a key.
There are a lot of places like that on the edge of London. I work to the south, in Croydon and it is about 300-400k and legally it isn't even a city yet despite being quite distinct, while being part of London. What makes it weirder is that thousands of people commute (i'm one of them) from the inner city out to such places to work. So by day I work in a provincial city (no matter what the legality is) and by night / weekend I live within walking distance of Buckingham Palace/Westminster. It is rather odd

Here it's basically serving ribs=using hands is OK.
Epee's my weapon of choice. I'm thinking of switching to saber though. Dunno, will see.
Saber is the weapon of drama queens and sloppy fencers. Epee is the gentleman's weapon.
it's all about foil
saber is inelegant and epee is trivial and fussy
There needs to be more bastard sword events. (Or perhaps a movie sword fighting event) Guys in studded leather breastplates or other armor all hacking away at each other
well i can remember WHAT store I bought it at but not what YEAR so I'm guessing probably not.
It's not a set of chemicals, though - it's like a giant pair of salad tongs that you heat up and put the hair between. I turned it on once, watched it heat up and got kinda scared. It was HOT.
Oh, phew! Well that is different. Go to the store and buy yourself some Pantene... "heat styling tool" spray. I forget exactly what it's called. But essentially it's just a little spray bottle and you spray it on the section of hair you're about to iron before you iron it. It might make the sizzling sound, but it's okay. This will protect your hair. Just flat ironing bare hair will damage it sooo much.

Yeah
For me even the "ethnic" stuff doesn't work right, just burns the fuck out of my scalp

I never take taxis in the UK when drunk whereas I used to quite a bit back home. That is in part due to public transport, part due to local pubs and part due to cost. Going across town at 3AM could cost 50 quid easily and that just grates.
I wouldn't use a black cab. The trick is finding the reputable private hire firms and it usually helps to split the fare with someone.
When I lived in suburban Glasgow, the eight-ish miles to and/or from the city centre tended to be about a tenner. Though these days the night buses are better and the queues tend to take less time than it takes for a cab to arrive on weekend nights.
London's taxi set up is pretty maddening. Back home we have a dozen or so taxi companies, all with clean, comfortable cars and they were always available whenever needed - by flagfall or by calling. It really wasn't a hassle at all. In London it apparently can't be that easy
I think if you have curly hair you should just wear it curly
my wife straightens her hair like once every couple of months and I don't like it much
but it also took her years to find hair products that make the curls soft instead of crunchy, and learn how to care for her curly hair properly and blah blah
and her haircuts are mad expensive because she goes to a curly specialist
organ what did you think of your first episode of top shot
that one guy, brad, was such a fucking whiner with all his ridiculous excuses about 'calibration' and sighting in a well-used pistol at 25-fucking-feet. and he was supposed to be a practical champion. bah. fuck that.
but kelly, the national rifle team guy, seems cool

Right. This is your average TGI Friday's fan. I bet she loves Twilight too.
She needs to stop smoking.

Hah!
Thinking that she could read a novel, even Twilight, is generous.
No I'm just giving you crap.

I submitted a name change request to it then got scared and took it back.
