If this is the new standard, I'm in trouble.
I don't think it's a new standard. It's my silly standard, which we've established in other threads is not always a reasonable standard. So, keep that in mind.
Theo! I should like jump on AIM and say hi.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Timelies!
Head is still full of gronk. However, I have hot tea and a banana nut muffin. Life is good. (Well, as good as it can be on a Monday morning.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm getting a tooth filled this afternoon. I'm pretty excited, since I get to leave work early. See, I dreamt I stayed home all day today, for no good reason, and woke up feeling like a crappy employee. So it's nice to wake up and realise that I'm not that bad.

Something is wrong with me. I see that picture and think "needs to pull up his pants." I think the saggy pants phenomenon has made me cranky.
My arms hurt. My back hurts. My toes hurt. The bruises on the insides of my arms are tender to the touch. Very much worth it but ow. I have to concentrate to not move like a creaky old lady.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You know, I rarely use the word 'phalocentric,' but I think it can be applied to 'teledildonics.'
Someone needs to invent the iTongue.

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

Not until they've finished their work on the iRobot.

Art Crawl!!!
Trudy -- yes, the aesthetics. . . I wonder how Dr. Bailey will react if/when she discovers the Burke/Yang relationship. Given that she kind of blackmails Shepard -- according to the promo.

Timelies and a cartful of gronk. Not a good weekend (personally speaking). Again. Meh - very tired of this. Plus the insomnia fairy thought last night was a good time to visit.
Now for my next trick, I fall asleep at my desk.

E-mails 'hurt IQ more than pot'
LONDON, England -- Workers distracted by phone calls, e-mails and text messages suffer a greater loss of IQ than a person smoking marijuana, a British study shows.
The article says that the IQ of the test subjects was tested periodically during the day. I wonder how they did that.
OK, does this next sentence make any sense?
Nine out of 10 people thought colleagues who answered messages during face-to-face meetings were rude, while three out of 10 believed it was not only acceptable, but a sign of diligence and efficiency.
So there were some people who thought it both rude and acceptable and the sign of diligence and efficiency?
