    Fun times had by all
    Another wonderful, wacky weekend at the local renaissance festival.

    Last year, a polyamory handfasting, featuring two women and one man. They had been together for a number of years; this was no lark on their part. It was cute once you got past the initial WTF...

    This year, the feature handfasting was between a goth and a furry (wolf, complete with paws with very long claws). My eyes, my eyes....

    Another altoids story
    I just love this....

    altoidsaddict has made the error in judgment of going to graduate school at the university where I work and am very well known. She has made an additional error by taking a class from someone with whom I have a pretty good working relationship, and the departmental secretary is someone with whom I also have a great relationship. That individual, Sue, today saw altoids and commented that "oh, here's harpie84's little girl!"

    Hee.
    Hee.

    A story about altoidsaddict
    Just because I can.....
    When she was a little girl, I tried to get her to eat bratwurst with sauerkraut. She liked the brats, but would never even try the sauerkraut. Being that she (and I) are part German I took this as a challenge.

    To change her mind has been an effort of the past two decades or so.

    We recently went to Cheyenne, Wyoming to perform in the Cheyenne Celtic Festival. The food vendor was selling brats, with or without the sauerkraut. We accidentally ordered hers with...and she as usual turned up her nose. We decided to get it anyway and pass it off to hpsf_phoenix, who knows a good thing when he sees it.

    But as we were waiting, she decided just for the heck of it to try it - a brat with kraut. AND SHE LIKED IT! Of course, after two decades of trying to get her to do this, I was beside myself with glee. Her only response: "I hate you." :-)

    Now officially large enough to make it to otf_wank
    from [info]clairvoyant My baby's grown up!

    OP

    Over on WTF_INC there's some nasty brewing comments over this post on the New York Craig's List.

    Some loony on an airplane got a bit squeezed in her seat by a plus sized neighbor and wants said neighbor to cough up $34.63 to compensate said loony for the space she had to share.

    [info]orangsoda has the best analysis:
    Why should "Fat ass" have to pay for an extra seat? Because some whiney bitch is so desperate for money that she calculates how much her seat neighbor owes her because they rubbed thighs? Sorry airplane lady, sometimes people are crammed in, see iluvhyperboles reply. It probably wasn't that pleasant for the "fat ass" either, who was most likely uncomfortable, too.

    Of course, [info]raylette suggest the best solution (tongue in cheek, I hope): Why don't we just shoot the fat people?

    But the best wanker in the group is [info]misshellion, who apparently is absolutely perfect. No self control, glandular problem, whatever the case is, I don't really care. It's not MY problem. And I don't want to pay for it.

    Next on the stupid wanker list: [info]vampslayer who says fat people suck and that acceptance of fat people should be viewed as "fucking up a billion years of evolution.".

    And awaaaaaay we go!

    ETA: the original post now up to at least 75 comments, so I moved it here.

    More highlights: (from [info]fruitynutcake): That's very assumptive and narrow-minded of you.

    Then the two of them engage in dueling "Thank you for proving my previous comment" comments.
