New Cult Canon? Don't they mean Old Cult Canon? Just because it wasn't released to DVD for 13 years doesn't mean it was only recently discovered by the hipsters.

can one tailor that format?

There is a way to remove it. Go to the options menu and change the Signature setting. I believe that will fix it.

Thanks y'all. I should probably have one of those anyway. I will not personally be making the purchase, so we'll see what I end up with. Are peppermint schnapps and creme de menthe pretty much interchangeable?

NO. I think peppermint schnapps has a higher alcohol content and creme de menthe is sweeter so it would change how the recipe tastes.

For baking, generally you want the creme de menthe not peppermint schnapps.

And it looks like a c-section, which doesn't make any sense if it's supposed to be about abortion.

I was in your city this weekend and was disturbed by the latest in sorority girl chic: cowboy boots with short skirts/shorts.

I thought this was just a Daisy Duke thing and that once Romo dumped her we would all see the shame in all things related to Jessica. Apparently not.

I was only there for the game, so I didn't venture out to my old haunts. Please tell me this is just a campus thing and does not extend into the rest of the city.

the only possible explanation is a going away party for a Ob-Gyn fired from a hospital for botching a c-section. nothing else fits.

As I've not seen this in person, I think we can safely say it's campus-specific. Sadly, it's a "fashion" that predates Jessica Simpson -- it's a way of saying "woo! Texas!" in a way the natives seem to find appealing.

Women in LA are still overly fond of the boots with short skirt or shorts look. Only now the number of types of boots has expanded. I find the entire thing to be moronic, but for some reason these women don't run their outfits by me for approval before heading out.

Men are also fond of the boots and short skirt look. I have no idea why it's sexy, but it is. Probably some latent dominatrix fetish.

Shirts and boots? No. I'd think the woman was challenged.

I thought it was supposed to be a baby shower cake for someone who is scheduled to have a C-section but the little sign makes no sense at all. It's just one of the many freaky baby shower cakes on Cakewrecks.

Here's one where it seems like the person ordered a cake decorated as a baby basket but someone heard wrong:

Maybe it's for when you are going in and out of air conditioned spaces and need the scarf to be a shawl when you get cold?

I see it every six months when I go to the antique festival in Warrenton. There are a half dozen or so trashy chic boutiques that thrive off that look, and the ladies that run those shops dress appropriately.

I actually bought my most recent pair of cowboy boots from one of those stalls.

I am a native. I've lived in this state for most of my life. I have seen the look from time to time, mainly as a parody or a joke, but never on the scale I saw it this weekend. I would say at least 1/3 of the women under 30 on or around campus were wearing boots with either shorts, a short skirt, or a short dress.

I would say it was cultish, but I was wearing a burnt orange polo and tan shorts, so I don't have much room to talk.

The game wasn't so bad. It was my kid's first college football game, so anything short of an actual murder on the field would have been OK. We knew it would be blow out, so we found other things to focus on. Girls in boots was one of those things. We also sat next to a family that knew the backup QB. So, it was pretty exciting when they put him in and he not only passed off the first play, but ran in the touchdown at the end of his first drive.

Got to eat at Dirty Martins, but otherwise it was an in and out sort of affair. BTW, the AT&T Conference center is a very nice hotel if you have friends who want to stay near campus. We had a parking pass for the game, but the hotel was about the same distance.
