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

Christ, my iPod is playing me Jungle Fever. Why do I do it to myself? It's insanely catchy. I can't even sit still.

I was just thinking about that and thought I'd chime in with agreement.

Oh. Well, yes. Me three. Stealing something should obviate the owner of the responsibility of what you do with it, as should buying it, naturally.

I read/saw somewhere that women try to be pleasant and liked in the workplace, sometimes to the detriment of being effective. I'm realising that if I'm not liked, people will run from me, so I have to keep it up. I swear my projects aren't that hard. They just unspool every now and again.

Okay, I may have a mover. This is all a bit sudden.

If you leave a chain saw on your front lawn and someone comes along and cuts his finger off with it, you have some legal responsibility.

If someone steals it (deceptively collects, if you get my drift) do you still have the same responsibility? Where do you draw the due diligence line, and do you know enough about what happened to say he didn't exercise it?

Yeah, extracting DNA from other cells will make your POV a bitch.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Thompson Shot Himself While on Phone WITH HIS WIFE.

I'm actually somewhat more appalled that his six-year-old grandson was in the house. Dude, send the kid out for ice cream or something, will you?

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 get to go home now.

I shall guard my sperm carefully, unless I run into Condi.
