    Stop sending pics of
    your “classically trained” “flute”!!

    – That made me lol for real.

    And I love the irony of the first one (I’m open minded, I just don’t like bi girls)

    There is nothing better than finishing an ikea assembly. Kitchens are the best tbh, but any furniture project is nice

      I have a bunch of half-opened ikea boxes full of compressed wood that didn’t make it under the “fuck moving I’m done” wire that could use some attention.

      I have lost the Allan wrench.

      Laydeez.

    “She can’t pay rent or attention” is a fine example of zeugma and I love it so much.

      zeugma is a fantastic word and you are a beautiful tropical fish for sharing it with me so that I can now use it as a name for a cat or something

    As much as I love assembling IKEA furniture, i’m now surprised I have made no love connections over this inclination.

    It just so happens
    that the photo I sent you
    was a piccolo.

    Would answer the Indigo Girls one in a heartbeat and we would speak only in IG lyrics for the duration of our relationship.

      I saw the comment text before the username and still immediately thought “Hey, it’s Layla!”

    I am very much in love with the Toast as a place where a post of WSW haiku a) exists and b) has a comment thread with two separate people bringing up the slightly obscure name of an excellently deployed figure of speech but absolutely no dick pics.
