Looks tasty!

That was literally the first thing I thought when I saw the news this morning. "Holy shit, they pulled the ladder trick on the fucking Louvre!"

This probably made the souls of at least a dozen nonnas scream in anguish, but it was good af and I got to try out my big new knife!

Mushroom, acorn squash and sausage random pasta thing

As a service advisor, I don't usually do house calls. But if you're a family member's neighbor, sure, why not. Was told 450SL, was not expecting that plus a much more interesting mid-60s grey market weirdo Merc

I've owned too many 500 Abarths to say anything else

Oh I'm sure that never caused any drama๐Ÿ˜‚

I always feel vaguely bad for the people around me at Rocky Horror. Honey, I been doing this for DECADES

Either he has balls of diamond or he is praying for death. No in between

You could do a pretty sick X1/9 for low range Porsche money, but you lose some of the cachet. For this idea though, I'd go for a Fulvia

Please allow me to introduce you to my lord and savior, Lancia...

It's certainly interesting, just on the biased side. Hopefully they've made it better since I went like 5 or so years ago

Unless it's changed in the last few years, expect the Nuclear Testing Museum to be solidly on the jingoistic side, but still interesting.

I need to go through and figure out what fishnets I have that are still tights vs which ones have become shirts. Being a goth is oh so glamorous...

Damn, that sounds like a lawsuit in waiting for the previous owner

That's why I wanted Rio to see her. You can try to be a good parent all you want, but nobody teaches lessons like a rock star

I've loved them since I was an extremely fucked up teenager, and holy hell was it weird to realize 17 year old me would not have believed 37 year old me was taking my kid to see them. Shirley Manson is a bit of a hero to me

So tonight at the show, I had my daughter in front of me when she decided to be magnificently creepy. When they played "Bleed Like Me," she reached back, grabbed my er, quite scarred forearms, and wrapped them over her shoulders.
She doesn't know why I have scars...

Took the kidling to her first proper rock concert, Garbage!

By that point she was quite elderly, so I figured a loud hatchback ripping up and down some hills probably would feel pretty zippy๐Ÿฅฐ

My aunt was an extra in Bullitt. To this day, the best compliment I've ever had on any of my cars was from her, "I felt like I was in Bullitt, and I *was in Bullitt*"

It's a little more "whoopsies, he went on an adventure and we have plausible deniability" than just pushing him off the bow of a navy ship and letting the propellers have them

So at what point does the King just say fuck it and put Andrew and Fergie in a canoe with a single paddle and push it out into the North Sea?

I remember when they were $1 AND you got a sit n' wiggle with it

It seems to me they're actually made much worse. I will walk through the insole ridiculously fast no matter how "good" the brand is.

Rocky Horror at local movie theater: would you like a $15 prop bag?

Me: bless your heart (derogatory)

The world may be terrible, but my adopted Fiat son who I've watched grow from a teenager to a college graduate got his first automotive engineering job and holy fuck, I am the proudest mom-but-not-mom in the world!!!
