Thank you, Maryalice. Excellent answers are easy when you're working with excellent questions.

mary or malice, or marymalice, babe. there's no alice here. (sorry, i'm an editor of sorts, it's habit)

You can get anything you want at malice's restaurant.

My apologies. I thought I typed "Marymalice."

excepting malice...
(i missed hearing that at thanksgiving last year with BCN gone so I downloaded it just to listen to it this year )

in all honesty, i wasn't sure if you thought my name was maryalice or not - it's a problem I have when I'm on the phone at work too, because of my last name... people mistake me for saying my name is maryanne

neither variation of mary is very appealing to me... I'm thinking of just changing it to malice irl... that's bound go over well, professionally, yeah?

No guts, no glory. No risk, no reward. I say go for it.

Though, I don't know that it'll solve the issue. People will just think you're saying "Alice."

ZLX plays it too.

You really have nothing to lose.

I went to see KState play in the pre-season NIT at MSG. They played it for the entire half time break. It was weird.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow.

And I totally get that "thread killer" thing - I feel that way about my posts most of the time.

And I was sitting on our cloth dining chairs very early in the am. They are only new so I'm not used to them and couldn't figure out why my bum cheeks were so sore this morning. Turns out my nekid bum cheeks don't very much like the material of the chairs it seems. Oh well, live and learn.

'Hivers' is a drunk-post word I sometimes use to mean my homies - those of my hive so to speak. I was in fine drunk-posting form last night, obv.
