Haters to Lovers
We see it a lot on TV, movies, in romance novels: the man and woman hate each other. They’re rivals who take every opportunity to throw barbs. But really, it’s all a facade. The hate is a mask used to hide their attraction. So when the sparks fly, it’s a conflagration.

I'm no sports medicine expert
I’m no sports medicine expert, but from what I’ve learned on tumblr, LeBron’s cramps would have been lessened if he’d drunk some wahn, watched some Lost Girl, and read some Dr. Who/Sherlock fanfic.

It's not a sea sponge at all.
Today, while researching whether or not a loofah would be a suitable substrate for helping a human regenerate the corpus cavernosum of the penis or clitoris, I discovered that a loofah is not a sea sponge, as I’d believed all my life, but is a vine fruit. It’s not a sea sponge at all.

Malbec
kierstenkrum replied to your post: Wine Thoughts:
And that’s a good thing? I mean - dirt.
In this bottle, it was a good thing. Mineral notes, glinting soil in sunlight. Copper, iron. The blood of the earth.

Wine Thoughts:
This Malbec is like sitting in the fresh turned dirt next to a tractor, feeling the sun’s heat radiating off the black rubber tire.

Burning Teeth
If burning teeth smelled like maple syrup, I probably wouldn’t have minded getting that filling today.

Condiment
This horseradish sauce I made is straight up chemical warfare. Zoë had to take a knee after smelling it. I wept while making it. I’m scared of my own damn condiment.
But I can’t wait to try it on the roast beef that’s still in the oven.

Captions for Naked Photos I've Seen on the Net
“Yeah, I’m still here. I’m listening. It sounds like I’m in a public bathroom because I’m in a public bathroom. No, I’m not going to the bathroom. I’m taking a picture of my ass.”
“Thanks so much for helping set up the brunch patio, but could you put some clothes on before the health department shuts us down?”
“How are you...
