I’ve opened my mouth about stuff like that all too often. then you just become part of the fun- fighting or ridiculing “stupid bitch” for the supreme right to torture and wreak havoc. seriously, it adds to their good time.

hm. it would be so unfortunate if they busted a flat trying to get out of that parking lot.

Noshoes, I’d pin a medal of honor on you, and name a feast day after you. As for the trolls, I’d sentence them to many, many hours of community service cleaning poop at the dog park. Bare-handed, sans tools. Then I’d march ‘em up & down yonder intersection wearing sandwich boards proclaiming “I AM A WORTHLESS WUSS WHO HURTS HARMLESS CREATURES”.

No new Twisty post? Damn. Let me tell y’all a story about something that horrified me today: It was a rainy day here on the West Coast. I went for a wet walk on the beach and as I was returning to my vehicle, I noticed a group of seagulls raiding a trash can. These big, gorgeous birds had dragged some of the garbage into the street and were picking at the wrappers in the center of a four-way stop intersection steps away from where I was parked. Suddenly two young male idiots in a purple Scion appeared and actually accelerated through their stop sign in an attempt to run over the seagulls. Happily the seagulls flew away in the proverbial nick of time. I was agape, speechless, agog; pick an adjective. Do only male humans think it “fun” to murder animals for “sport?” These birds were doing nothing but minding their own damn business. The trolls in the Scion certainly weren’t going to eat a seagull they’d just killed, had the seagulls been less lucky. This incident occupied my thoughts all day. If the trolls had killed a seagull (or two) and stopped to inspect their handiwork, how could I have possibly restrained myself from pulling a troll (or two) out of said Scion and kicking troll-ass? Would I go to jail? Would they? All of your thoughts, please.

Twisty Faster: rusticating – or just rusting? Can this Hill Country wonderfulness be suppressing your obstreperal lobe?

If high heels came with a tool kit in the heel I might reconsider wearing them.

Perhaps some repair tools if your high heel breaks off? No, a true lady would wait for her prince to rescue her.

Don’t blame me, blame Hollywood.

Hm. I not only used a chain saw (well, a small electric) to clear a driveway so the men could get in, but powered it from a battery bank that lived in the back of my pickup truck. Which everyone said was impossible or dangerous or both.

Sorry about the sentence fragment, but.

The only thing I INSIST on having in my care is empowerful pink cupholders. And a lipstick mirror. That’s what’s important to me. I don’t need to know anything about that ooky mechanical stuff (bats eyes).

Those metal dish thingies under the burners? Line them with foil [taking care not to have it touch the coil], replace foil as needed. You’ll never have to clean (or replace) those things again. Me, I’d rather clean and re-use a lot of things than replace them, but some things just don’t clean that well. That’s what foil is for.
I BLAM! the patriarchy.

“You just KNOW when you ask a guy a question he’s going to give you an answer appropriate for something with IQ equivalent to a tree-stump.”

A car dealership sent me a little ladies questionaire a while back (pink of course) because they want to know what women want from a car dealership (other than the obvious thing, a car) and they want to improve their services for ladeez.
One of the options you could tick, that you would like to see implemented, was:

“Service reports in clear and easily-understandable language.”

Because presumably our stupid lady brains need easier words for “brakes” and “oil”.
