I heard on the news that walk-outs are not permitted, but “clap outs” are acceptable.

I spotted this on that other site today; posting for all of the BlueSky Hounds!

Sad-looking greyhound looks at the “missing” picture of her human on the milk carton on the counter. The human walks in, saying, “Oh for crying out loud, I was gone for five minutes!”

Poi is pretty bland. Its consistency changes by day, ie 1-finger poi is runny and newest, while 3-finger poi has developed more thickness and a tiny amount of flavor. Mostly it absorbs the main dish’s flavors.

Stupid Fashion Trends: 1) Front Sweater Wad Partial Tuck. It looks dumb. 2) Pre-Distressed Jeans. Distressing supposedly mimics actual wear patterns. What kind of activity would make such ugly stripes? And is there a woman skinny enough to want horizontal stripes across her gut?

Sweater has 1/4 of bottom hem stuffed into the front of blue jeans. Blue jeans have sharply contrasting “distressed” horizontal lines from crotch to waist. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
