Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wonders what the R factor of a metaphoric wall is...

I'm guessing either zero or infinity.

Glances up at wall, notices no Accounting or Actuarial degrees, starts to wonder why he never got a personality. Begins to eye the Accounting and Actuarial degree people with personalities suspiciously.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Glances up at wall

Notices that is not such a dork as to hang diploma on wall

Makes a mental note to hang something on the wall, maybe next year

Maybe an actuary?

If I only had a brain...

That's true. Nothing says "Christmas" like an actuary on the wall.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Glances up at wall.

Looks at pictures of little monsters with batwings eating candy.

Shrugs, waves toy bat at the monitor to get the content management tool to hopefully unfreeze.

Must remember to bring sparkly wand into office next week, as toy bats do not seem to be proper conduits of mystical forces.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Maybe an actuary?

Just remember... we know when you will die.

I can't even.

Just remember... we know when you will die.

Don't tell me, I like to remain unspoiled. (if it is something cool like the year 2973, you can give me a hint).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BT, Jon, I have some actuarial questions, as I am making the lead character in my new play an actuary. Would either of you mind if I emailed you with various general sorts of things?

Fine by me.

Maybe an actuary?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Stick a penguin up with velcro, falala lalala lalala
And maybe a panda, also, falalala lalala.
