It's just not.

This thread pulses with life.

O positive

Like your upper lip.

I don't really have a favorite book, but there is only one book I can read over and over and that is Great Gatsby. LOVE that book.

i love the thought of sally freaking over these details

I freak well.

Git yer freak on.

Pasadena? Cool. I grew up in Sierra Madre.

Why do you not like the shift key? Do you use your phone for most of your communication with the online world?

What is your favorite cocktail?

Would you rather sit by a campfire or go to a mall?


Window or aisle seat?

Fish or steak?


And finally,

What size is your hat?

Mark wears a hat?

Don't all testicle-bearers?

said the vagina incubator.

Hey. I'm the vagina cupcake baker.

You can bake cupcakes down there? I'm impressed!

It is one hot lady socket.

This is fun.

*Note to self: do not accept cupcakes from Sally*

A few people I know have told stories about some stuff they were taught in LDS seminary (religion classes that LDS high school students attend during one period of the school day). One of the stories is about "the licked cupcake."

This lesson is common enough that I found it online so, to save myself some typing, I'll cut and past from this site.

Remember the parable of the licked cupcake? A youth leader would bring to church enough cupcakes so that everyone in class could have just one. Then, they would lick the frosting from one of the cupcakes, put it back on the tray and pass the cupcakes around so everybody could take one. Of course, the last person in class was stuck with the licked cupcake, and of course, they wouldn’t eat it.

The licked cupcakes in the chastity lesson always represented females. In Young Women's, the cupcakes represented us - we didn't want to be a licked cupcake. No one wants a cupcake licked by someone else.

In Young Men's, the cupcakes also represented girls. You boys were taught not to lick cupcakes that weren't yours. No one else wants a licked cupcake, and neither do you.

Never once was I told that boys could be licked cupcakes. Never. What boys did was, I guess, none of our business. All we girls knew was not to let boys lick our cupcakes, or no one would want us. The burden of chastity was ours to bear, and the prospects of forgiveness for failure were grim.

Oh Lord save me.

Are you a licked cupcake?

Wow! That is the best story ever.

I am sorry I ever said the word cupcake before that morality tale was posted.

Oooh! The morality tale with my Mormon friends was with a white rose. Each of the girls was handed one and then they were smashed and squished and ripped apart... something about a defiled flower?

Gross.

Apparently all this cupcake licking and flower squishing happens after midnight. I had to be behind locked doors after that time in case I morphed into a floosie.

Oh I would eat that cupcake. Yes I would.

That's the experienced cupcake, which can be much more enjoyable than the nervous rookie cupcake.

Cupcake or muffin?

i just noticed this thread! here are my answers:

- emotional immaturity.

- i mainly use my laptop, but i use my phone when i'm not on the laptop. it will be easy to tell (and will relax some folks) because my blasted phone insists i use blasted caps and just fills them in for me. Judas Droid!

- Jameson's & Ginger Ale. or just straight up Jameson's

- campfire, please! allergic to malls. love camping. my neighbors and i also like to sit around a fire in our backyard. and talk about how much we hate malls.

- window seat, please. i hate feeling cramped in.

- steak, medium rare

- large. i have a good-sized head. so to speak.

folks!

Window seat here. I rarely get out of my seat on a flight so it's perfect. I hate having people from the inside seats crawl over me to get out.

Moot point, though, since I usually end up in the middle.

Yes, we knew that already.

Yeah? And Sally's toots smell like roses.

Just today Mrs. Phil said, "yes, I've heard all of your stories. Probably three times each." I'm on auto-repeat.

You shouldn't be posting in this thread anyway - it's for newbies.

oops, meant to say aisle seat, i hate to feel cramped in. plus window seats remind that i'm flying in a metal death trap thousands of feet in the air.

wow... that is some kind of memory. i'm a wee bit frightened now of repeating myself.

a strong ability to spend a lot of time researching is only the teensiest bit less intimidating than a photographic memory. two abilities i wish i had.

I like questions but I am not Mark.

Midori sour

Campfire

Aisle seat. I am with Mark. I don't want to be reminded that I could plummet to my death by looking out the window. I hate flying.

Medium well

I have no idea but I love hats. Especially vintage 20's and 30's caps.

midori sours are also yum. when i am feeling especially tra-la-la, that is a good drink. and so are appletinis, although it pains me to say that. i also have to add that i enjoy them maybe once a year, and the rest of the time i am an incredibly MANLY MAN-MAN. uh huh.

oh, and Ramos Fizz. delicious.

what is a Ramos Fizz??????

no judging you on your manly ness....drink, drink what ever you like.

RAMOS FIZZ

Ingredients

2 ounces London dry gin
1 ounce heavy cream
1 egg whites
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce lime juice
2 teaspoons superfine sugar
2 to 3 drops orange flower water

Glass Type: Collins glass

Instructions

Combine in a chilled cocktail shaker with plenty of cracked ice, then shake viciously for at least one minute -- preferably two -- and strain into a chilled Collins glass. Top up with cold seltzer or club soda.

Note: Don't bother substituting orange juice or orange liqueur or orange anything else for the orange flower water; it has a fragrance unrelated to that of the fruit. Also, do not use half-and-half in place of the cream. As for the gin, some old recipes call for Old Tom gin. In this case, reduce the amount of sugar.

Sounds good, but too labor intensive for me. Appreciate the caps in your directions.
