Thunderstorms, deafening rain on a tin roof, the smell of a bushfire, dry, 40 degree heat and “Secrets of the Beehive” do all the nice things for me; snowstorms, and the smell of cabbage cooking transport me to places I’d like someone I don’t like to be. You? (We know what caffeine deprivation does to **MsWhatsit.** …) ---

Is there a “this thread is really fucking funny and really fucking stupid all at the same time” award? If not, there should be. ---
