My family on both sides have committed a fair amount of mayhem, but nobody is currently in jail. Hellraising was more like a half generation or more ago. My first cousin was in the Hell's Angels (now he owns a very successful used car lot. I wonder where he got his initial stock...). My uncle on the other side was wanted in five states. (Dead now.) My Dad got into a lot of brawls in his youth. Stuff like that.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even 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 love the picture of the kitten in the army helmet (their logo).

Dammit, a Sphynx is in third-to-last place. When will the prejudice against hairless cats cease?

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

When they stop being ugly. Yick.

I'm free! I'm free! Well, free to go to the pet store anyway. Whee.
While having sandwiches with Polgara yesterday, we noticed that Newman-from-Seinfeld buys pet food at our local pet store. Same one that the T2 shops at.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
ita is harshing on the Sphinxes. Come on, fur isn't everything.

the Unconversation
I love it!
Quiz time: in the following conversation, what was the result?
Steph's Mom: "Sammy?"
Steph: "Sure!"
Steph's Mom: "Nuked?"
Steph: "Nah."
Decipher that unconversation....

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My guess:
Sandwich?
Hot?
Nope.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Steph's Mom: "Would you like a sandwich?"
Steph: "Yes, please."
Steph's Mom: "Do you want me to heat it in the microwave?"
Steph: "No, thank you."
