Yesterday wasn't all bad. More people should embrace the vegetarian lifestyle. Or at least increase the amount of greens in their diet.

[Filtered to those who were at her surprise birthday party on the 21st]I wanted to thank everyone for coming to the party Angela organized a few days ago for my birthday. It was very thoughtful of you all to take

...Surely people wouldn't be that stupid?

[bonescientist]

I suspect I'd probably have very little in common with persons who choose to intoxicate themselves with tetrahydrocannabinol on a regular basis.

I ate way too many carrots. But, I'm not opposed to...being more well-balanced?

[bonescientist]

Carrots are good for you. They're rich in vitamin A, dietary fibers and antioxidants. Though it is indeed advisable to spread out usage evenly, as heavy overconsumption may cause carotenosis.

[perspectiveguy]

Carotenwhatis? Is that turning orange?

[bonescientist]

Carotenosis. Correct, it is the presence of pigment carotene in one's blood from excessive intake of carrots or other vegetables containing said pigment, leading to yellow-orange discoloration of the outermost layer of the skin. It's a harmless condition that will disappear on its own when the carotene consumption is discontinued.

Remind me to drop your gift round, later. Not getting into the other debate.

[bonescientist]

Don't feel obliged to acquire a gift simply because the Earth has made a full revolution around the sun and I've aged accordingly. Showing up for the party was enough.

[worksmart]

I'm conventional. I like being conventional. While we're here, traditions are more solid than the notion the earth, or you, have moved at all.

[bonescientist]

Anthropologically speaking, it is true that holding onto the traditions and mores central to one's cultural heritage eases the transition and adaptation into a foreign habitat. Therefore, I understand and accept your reasoning.

[adamantined]

I'm glad you had a good time.

[bonescientist]

It's usually hard not to in one of Angela's parties. I hope everyone else did, as well.

[adamantined]

I'm sure Angela probably thought there could've been a few more strippers, but it wasn't too bad on my scale.

[bonescientist]

Angela and strippers do seem to make up the typical party equation.
