what's the difference between Irish breakfast tea and English breakfast tea? Is ordering one or the other dangerous like Jameson's or Bushmill's?

I guess. When RT &/or Balt &/or whoever tell me that the donations, however they are calculating them, hit $2500 & $3000, I'll send RT a nice paypal transfer. I don't need, or care, to see anyone's checks or receipts.

And, mmm, while I am glad my frank pubic-hair questions please you, I note we have not received any frank pubic-hair responses. And where else can I ask these questions and get this kind of info if not from you guys?

A story that will make everyone feel good.
 

Maybe she only hit the buffet twice.

Same difference as that between Irish and English Oat meal.

Does she or doesn't she? Only her waxer knows for sure ...
 

electrolysis is pain, one hair at a time, and you have to zap them each several times to get them completely gone. I don't think I could inflict that kind of pain on myself. ETA And I'm saying that even though I find waxing/tweezing hairs from my ankles far more painful than waxing/tweezing hairs from the bikini line, and I have used the Braun epilady-esque rotating tweezer machine on my ankles. Electrolysis HURTS. But it is actually permanent, eventually, which is nice.

I have heard that the zapping is much more effective with darker hair/lighter skin. The sister of the woman who did my last-but-one bikini wax had it done and really likes it. The woman who did the waxing also alerted me to the existence of TendSkin to deal with bumps/ingrowns, and I LOVE it. I bought a bottle at an actual store, but then when I looked on Amazon there was some other product that people seemed to prefer, so I got a bottle of that to use when the TendSkin runs out.

That is all I have to say on unwanted hair for the moment.

I find that the cat-hair merkins are softer and more enjoyable to the touch than those made with real human hair.

Irish breakfast tea is a little more earthy.

Of course, in either country, it's not known as "Irish Breakfast Tea" or "English Breafast Tea" but rather just "tea." You don't really get an opportunity to get yourself in trouble.

Similarly, one is advised in Ireland to just order "a pint" or "one."

Sorry. I was actually just thinking of lasering the bikini line. Oh - and get laser over electroylisis - electrolysis hurts a lot more and is more long and drawn out.

That'll get you a Budweiser in a lot of places nowadays.

Yeah, if you order "ein grosses Bier"!

(Ha! German puns! I kill me!)

Yes. Sad but true. However, those are relatively easy to avoid. And you can always send it back with "I asked for a pint, not piss." Which'll let 'em know you're serious. And probably get your ass kicked. Or drinking for free for the rest of the night. One or the other. Either way, it's good craic.

But aren't there also repeat treatments involved in the whole laser thing?

I've heard that the Wings will play 0 regular season games againt the Leafs and Montreal. the league is supposedly trying to develop division rivalries, but throwing out the original six rivalries seems dumb. That stuff sells big here, and I bet will hurt revenues in Canada. Don't you think?

It is my understanding there are fewer repeats. And it does a bunch of hairs all at one time, rather than Each. Follicle. Individually.

I just got hit with a $65 parking ticket for parking on the wrong side of the street -- i.e., in a legal spot, but with my car facing the wrong direction. Is there any good reason for the city to be enforcing that particular provision? Not that it's a suprise that they'll soak you for whatever they can, but I'm pissed.

ETA I am not intending to say that Colin and Kevin are the epitome of sexy hotness.

It essentially means you drove on the wrong side of the street, you scofflaw.

OMG! YHGTBKM!

Ty@50, is the beginning of the awakening?

Aside from the fact that you'll be facing traffic and have to cross lanes when you pull out, I can't think of a thing.

Ty wants Big Government off his back, as do we all. Is that so wrong? I, for one, am tired of the liberal nanny-state telling me I can't drive the wrong way down the street, even a little bit. Just to park.

I suppose in theory you might be more likely to cause an accident pulling out because you have to pull across a whole lane of traffic, or do a u-turn.

Didn't they have valet?

EFCOT? It's even boring to fly over.

Designed by people in 1965 who imagined what life would be like in 1987.

Not to mention the illegal u-turn that will have to happen.

Plus, it just doesn't look right. Very disorderly. It says the driver is either too lazy to do a three-point turn, or not confident of his skills in doing one, which calls his very driving ability into question. In such a case, one should be relieved only to get a parking ticket.

If we all rode the monorail Ty would have never gotten that ticket.

Tough crowd.

Don't worry, Ty. You've got my sympathy. I got a ticket last year for parking in an unmarked crosswalk. I honestly thought that someone was close to running out of time in meeting his quota and made up a violation, but it turns out that apparently there is such a thing as an unmarked crosswalk. Fuckers.

My mom once got a ticket on I-40 in New Mexico at 11:57 pm for driving with her brights on. The fucking freeway divider was half a mile wide. The only possible thing she could have blinded was a gila monster, and I'm pretty sure they sleep at night.

Well, that and the police officer, apparently.

I recently got a ticket for parking during the purported street cleaning period. I was pissed, because that motherfucking street would be lucky if it got cleaned every 104th Tuesday, let alone every Tuesday. But that's irrelevant, because the motherfucking violation is not obstructing the street cleaners, but "disobeying official sign."

Motherfuckers.

In a funny ha ha coincidence, I was getting my teeth cleaned at the time.

Huh. If RT's mom had been driving on the wrong side of the interstate, she wouldn't have gotten that ticket.

Not to mention the fact that we are all supposed to be driving flying cars by now. Fuckers.

(I do, however, live in a geodesic dome. And I still drink Tang.)

Last winter I was towed for parking on a street with no parking between 3 and 5 am.

No one could tell me why there was no parking between 3 and 5 am. It just the way it is.

Apparently, that particular sign is much disputed, because they had a copy of it taped to the wall at the impound lot.
