LaZorra Sprouts

Ghost of Sam: She's good at giving me puppy dog eyes, which is funny because she doesn't NEED to give me pitiful looks for me to do something. But I do need to know what the thing is to do, which isn't always obvious to me, as I'm slow. (17:20:06)
Ghost_of_Leen: But I asked in very plain terms. (17:20:25)
Ghost_of_Leen: >.> (17:20:29)
Ghost of Sam: When I wasn't looking. (17:20:37)
LaZorra: Sam: If you're slow, I'm a vegetable. (17:20:41)
Ghost_of_Leen: lol (17:20:47)
Ghost of Sam: I'll bring home some LaZorra sprouts, too. They might taste good over the mashed potatoes. (17:21:06)
Ghost_of_Leen: woot! (17:21:34)
Ghost of Sam: Oooo, no. LaZorra on the cob! (17:21:39)
LaZorra: NO NOT MY SPROUTS (17:21:42)
wintermute: I always thought of LaZorra as more of an eggplant. (17:22:13)
Ghost of Sam: She can't be an eggplant. Because then she'd be gross. And I hope you're not trying to tell me LaZorra is gross. (17:22:37)
wintermute: Of course not! (17:22:47)
Maryam: No, she's definitely fried zucchini. (17:22:51)
Ghost_of_Leen: It's getting very dark and creepy, which means it will downpour just as Sam is coming home again. (17:22:55)
wintermute: Eggplants are less gross than sprouts. (17:22:58)
Ghost of Sam: Mmmmm, fried LaZorchini. (17:23:09)
Ghost of Sam: LaZorriflower. (17:24:27)

How to Talk to Men

* Ghost_of_Leen gives Sam a pitiful look. (17:16:16)
Ghost of Sam: Leen: *whimper* (17:16:54)
Ghost_of_Leen: :( (17:16:59)
Ghost_of_Leen: Fine nevermind. (17:17:05)
Ghost of Sam: Leen: I can come home in about 15 minutes. (17:17:29)
Ghost_of_Leen: Ok... that does not answer my question though. (17:17:46)
Ghost of Sam: What's your question? (17:17:52)
Ghost_of_Leen: lol (17:17:57)
* Ghost_of_Leen points about a page up. (17:18:08)
Ghost of Sam: You're gonna make me scroll back in this tiny little xterm? Oh, okay... (17:18:26)
Ghost_of_Leen: LOL (17:18:32)
LaZorra: SAM GET LEEN STARBUCKS (17:18:34)
LaZorra: NOW (17:18:37)
Ghost_of_Leen: LOL (17:18:39)
Ghost of Sam: OKAY (17:18:45)
LaZorra: See, you just have to know how to talk to men. (17:18:59)

Lightly Scented

Maryam: Why do things claim to be "lightly scented" when in fact they have a near-overpowering scent instead?
* Maryam just tried a new body wash in the shower. NOT lightly scented.
wintermute: Because the people who are in charge of adding the scent are anosmic?
Goosey: Maryam: What scent?
Maryam: Supposedly lavender, but it smelled more like baby powder.
Ghost of Sam: Maryam: Just spitballing here, but I bet the words 'lightly scented' sell better than 'strongly scented,' because people don't want to be overpowered, but then when they smell things in the store, they buy the things that smell strong. Combine the two, and INSTANT SALES!
Goosey: Ugh, yeah. fake lavendar is not nice.
wintermute: Sam: Sounds sensible.
Ghost of Sam: It's gotta be lightly scented when you smell it through the plastic container.
Maryam: I didn't try smelling it at the store. Perhaps that was my mistake.
Maryam: Although it didn't really start to give off the scent until I was lathering it up.
* Goosey tries to imagine a body wash labeled with, "STRONGLY SCENTED, FOR YOUR FEMININITY" and cracks up.
Goosey: Maryam: Yeah, I always sniff stuff at the store.
LaZorra: AMAZON WOMAN SOAP
Ghost of Sam: STRONGLY LAVENDER-SCENTED FOR A MAN...but ph-balanced for a woman.
* LaZorra should totally market that.
