Top 5 Reasons My Wife Is More Hardcore Than I Am
5. In high school, she bought a guitar for the sole purpose of teaching herself how to play Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters”.
4. She supervises a bunch of industrial mechanics who call her “the little queen”, but NEVER to her face.
3. Though she understands subtext, she thinks it’s a waste of time and would rather tell someone off directly.
2. She’s used her diamond engagement ring as a weapon at least ten times more often than she has shown it off to her friends.
1. At least three different men at her workplace (at varying levels of seniority) have actively tried to take professional advantage of her (presumably because she’s a mechanical engineer who happens to be female and ethnic). They don’t work there anymore.

Thanks, Cherylin!

One reason I wouldn’t want to move to the US

I think a lot of people are allergic to MSG. Like my step-sister. Which is why she asked me to order the Chinese with no MSG the other day. Which I forgot to do. WHOOPS! Also, YUM!
That’s just it, though. Decades of medical research have failed to produce any clear or consistent link between MSG consumption and the so-called ‘MSG symptom complex’.
holy. fucking. shit.
I damn near pissed my pants laughing at this.
Books must be treated with respect, we feel that in our bones, because words have power. Bring enough words together they can bend space and time.

and it’s tasty.

Thoughts?
