Sue, when you flail around like that, the mountain lions can see you.
I am emitting high pitch frequencies in order to scare them and keep them at bay.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Allyson, in addition to the big, big ball 'o yarn. You need one of those extra big rawhide dog chews to throw in the opposite direction of your car.
HI Perkins!
Ohhh I get to leave work now. Fun!

Yay, Sue!
Loving the idea of distracting the mountain lion with a big ball of yarn.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Yay SUE!
I thought I learned* that you scare mountain lions away by making yourself look as big as possible, like having a billowy King of Pain coat -- or, even better, a cape! -- and therefore intimidating.
*Please note, I learned this from The Simpsons, which is not considered a first-line source of education.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Don't talk like that.

Cries.
Don't talk like that.
I know. It's scary. (Actually I have a "real" job. I just need a non-soul destroying one.)

So, when the loudspeaker beeps and security keeps saying, "Attention. A small mountain lion the size of a coyote has been seen in the East Lot. Please use caution," what the frig are we supposed to do?
When it is time to leave, encourage slower and smaller coworkers to head out first. If possible, rub or festoon them with raw meat first. Then, when they are screaming in terror and the cat takes them down, run like hell to your car. Or wait until they are consumed and saunter slowly, since the cat will be in a food coma.

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
Maybe we could just toss them loaves of bread. I mean, they've been on a lifetime atkins diet. Won't the carbs take them down, immediately?
