STOP TALKING ABOUT BUGS, SPIDERS, INSECTS, ETC. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ignoring the spider talk. La la la!
Increasingly, my phone number seems to be the only one people know. They're calling me for everything, from "Hi, I'm Person from Agency Blah. We're shooting a commercial on a TIGHT schedule and we were wondering if we could get..." to "Hi, I'm Somebody from Agency Whatever, and our invoices are being sent to the wrong place..." to "Hi, I'm Guy from Agency Cutesyname, and I was wondering if I could get the font..." and so on.
Now, shockingly, I'm not actually in charge of Everything. In fact, I'm not even in charge of A Lot. But since the phone calls have been actively interfering with me doing my actual work, I'm thinking of changing the message on my voice mail:
"Hello, you've reached the Everything Desk. We're in charge of everything! We can answer your every question! And since we know everything, we already know exactly what it is you need. You may hang up now secure in the knowledge that we will take care of everything. Have a great day, and thanks for calling the Everything Desk!"

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
What Steph said, but in a more demure tone of voice.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gus and Tep don't like spiders and snakes. And that ain't what it takes to love them....

What is even happening?
What's the best dessert you've ever had?
A seafood restaurant in the next town makes something called a fallen chocolate cake. It's hot, liquid inside, but more chocolatey than it is sweet, served hot (in a little custard cup or souffle dish or whatever), with freshly whipped cream on top.

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
