Hola, nightshift.
I'm watching the late showing of the puppy bowl.
It's a good thing I'm not in my own place. Otherwise I'd be at the shelter tomorrow morning getting a pair of kittens.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Watching puppies makes you want kittens?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I loved the puppy bowl. I sat on the phone with my sister. and we watched together.
Neither one of us ordered the dvd.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It must be the same one. With a pool inside and a goofy animatronic rainstorm?
Yep, and fruity drinks with umbrellas and cherries.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
P-C, I have a plan, wherein I don't get dogs until I have a yard. But cats work in an apartment, and I want both (also possibly something more exotic like a pig when I get old and in full colorful mode. I may never top the big hairy ass, but I can do my best.)
Beth, I'm TiVoing it. I can run you a copy if you want.

I'm not sure that I need a copy. I think it is funny that I could buy it if I wanted to . We went to a bar to see a friend of ours play and we explained the puppy bowl.

Are you ready to be strong?
My favorite thing about the Puppy Channel is the theme song.
"Puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies puppies PUPPIES!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
. I think it is funny that I could buy it if I wanted to .
Maybe puppies would enjoy watching it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can totally imagine small children wanting to watch it repeatedly

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Susan decides to test the awesome brainpower of the hivemind, because she doesn't even know where to begin Googling this one
Long ago I read a book set in my era (i.e. roughly 1800-1820) where a husband didn't believe his wife was a virgin on her wedding night because she didn't bleed, but was eventually convinced by a Learned Medical Type that sometimes it happens that way and he really ought to believe her protestations of innocence.
I'd like to borrow that plot device and twist it to my own nefarious ends for maximum torture of certain of my characters. But it occurs to me that I shouldn't trust the research of an author whose name I've long forgotten from a half-remembered book I read sometime in the late 80's.
So, does that sound right? Was there still enough expectation that virgins were supposed to bleed that a man would question his bride's chastity if she failed to? And if so, would the woman (who by this time is wondering if somehow she was raped at some point but was so traumatized by the experience she developed amnesia) be able to find some doctor or book that would justify her to herself, even if her husband refused to believe her?
Googling is pretty useless for this one, no? If none of y'all know, I'm going to have to throw myself on the mercy of the Seattle Public Library research librarians, who probably already think I'm half mad.
