I want to get one of those "card-carrying member of a reality based community" t-shirts!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Oh god. I"m not one of Those People who puts t-shirts on their dog, but that one would almost make me do it. (Quote: "We cannot let terriers and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile." Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 21, 2000 ")
I might have to get one of the "Secret Plans for the Vast Liberal Conspiracy" notebooks, though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So, I get a call from the receiving department. They are angry. I have received a personal package and that IS AGAINST POLICY.
I run down to get an ass-whuppin', and the receiving guy is standing there grinning, "somebody looooves youuuu."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hadn't realised that although Michael wants the feeding tubes removed, he's actually not making the decision, but placing that decision in the hands of the court. To avoid the appearence of impropriety, etc.
I thought he'd made the decision, and her parents were trying to use the courts to stop it.

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 have received a personal package and that IS AGAINST POLICY.
WTF is the rational for this policy?

We have that policy here at the University, too, and are reminded of it every holiday season. I believe it has to do with the fact that the U. doesn't want to pay folks to spend time delivering our personal stuff.
eta: This policy despite the fact that a new shirt/sweater/skirt right around mid-day makes me a very happy worker-bee.

I just had a new vacuum cleaner delivered to me at work today.
It would really suck if we couldn't do things like that, because I don't want to have things delivered at home and sit in the lobby all day.

When I used to work for the Gigantic Gaming Empire, I'd have my computer shtuff sent to work, because that way it wouldn't be left on my porch by moronic drivers.
