--- Quote from: ronbo on 10 May 2017, 06:28 ---I'd just like to offer a little defense for Marten here. He is a guy. We aren't very observant. A guy's vision works kind of like the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. Waive something interesting in front of our face and we are all over it. Wear a different shade of lipstick? Yeah, that kind of stuff is invisible to us.

Eh. I'm a woman, and I am as observant as a brick. Change Blindness effects all!
Do women expect men to notice things like lipstick? I always figured women didn't dress up for men; they dress up for other women. Of course, there's a heavy bias there.

As a guy, that's how I understad the whole make-up thing to work.
Additionally, I take offense to being called terribly unobservant. I'm a line inspector, so my job security rests on my powers of observation.
Granted, there is a difference between passive observation and active observation.
Is it cold in here?:
Sounds boring. Can you work your way up from being a line inspector to being a triangle inspector?

Are you a lineman for the county?

I know Bubbles doesn't own a lot, but I'd think she'd have a dress uniform.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 09 May 2017, 00:14 ---The buttons are optional but, yes, cardigan jumpers are split at the front. I suspect that Emily just didn't know the proper name of what she made: A pullover.
--- End quote ---
This puzzles me somewhat. My first reaction is "How can anyone not know the difference between a cardigan and a pullover?" I mean, how would you even know the term "cardigan" if you hadn't learned what it meant? You would just refer to both cardigans and pullovers as "sweaters" (or "jumpers" if you're British). But Emily has proved to be rather oblivious to many things that seem obvious to other people, so I suspect you're probably right.

--- Quote from: Baleanopter on 08 May 2017, 19:47 ---I'm going to be this universe's version of the anti-joke chicken :police: here and point out that, while the Twinkies joke is very funny, actual Twinkies are, in fact, ordinary commercial cake batter with a sugar and starch fluff filling them, and despite the preservatives and dough conditioners will become stale in fairly short order. They can even get moldy!

Many years ago, I received a "joke" email about the physical properties of Twinkies. I just searched for it and found that someone has archived it on the web here. Reading it is... interesting.
Remember, just because something has an expiration date, that doesn't necessarily make it food! :psyduck:
