Illinois supremacy, I wear a coat that could double as a sleeping bag from October to March. gently caress being cold. Beer rules, gin and tonics are great too. WTF, just shove the pizza in your maw, who cares what temperature it is? As long as it's <3 days old, it's good. Fugi and honeycrisps are really tasty for eating apples, and turning apples into cider and pies is good too.

Ok, I think those are all my opinions, thread.

What determines edibility in an apple anyway

Probably size, hardness, acidity and sweetness. A nice tart Granny Smith is a pretty good apple, but you wouldn't one much more sour than that. An apple that is tiny, rock hard, and sour would be pretty unpleasant to eat raw, and be a pain in the rear end to try to make into nasty sour apple pie. It would be okay for cider though.

is the skirt of the coat really full like a poodle skirt, or is it kind of rectangular? the rectangular kind is a swing coat and also very excellent, congrats on your excellent coat

Thanks! It's sort of body-skimming, with a slight flare to the skirt part. I believe it's all cashmere, and the label tells me it's the house brand from a defunct Jewish department store in Manhattan. Best twelve bucks i ever spent, just about

You should just crib for them and make "new" stories based on mythology like Shakespeare did which was real badass. Unless you like the visual culture of mythology which is pretty badass too.
