Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, cross-posted with Bitches because I actually meant to put it here: Yay! I finished my paper! It's crap, but I finished it! Also my debate notes, so I now have everything I need to finish the crap class! Oh, except a one-minute presentation on my paper, but I have this nifty metaphor worked out which should take up most of a minute.
Anybody want to hear my nifty metaphor?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but did you use foamy, jackhole, or jicki?
No, ma'am. Foamy doesn't have a broad enough non-Buffista base. Jackhole, while useful, was not applicable. I don't know nuffin' about jicki.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
jicki is a family thing - it means stupid. alternate spelling is jicky. Someone who is jicki is a jickwad.

Ahem. So, let's say you have this lovely nutritious liquid, full of all kinds of good things to make you richer and stronger and smarter and more powerful, etc. and there's an endless supply of it coming through a tap. You're in charge of the tap, and there's about thirty people who need to get some. One option would be to say, "Okay, folks, get your cups and come on up, get as much as you can handle at once -- I've got all kinds of flavorings and stuff up here, so you can go ahead and add sugar or lemon or chocolate, or you can have it as soup and add curry or vegetables or whatever. If there are any problems with it, you let me know." The other option is to get a hose, tell people to sit down and open their mouths, and spray them with it.
ETA: You think that'll take up a minute, or should I add the moral onto the end?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh crap.
I have actually been assigned a somewhat-important task - one that I can finish in my remaining time this afternoon if I work efficiently.
Crap.

I like your metaphor, Emily. It takes less than a minute to read, and I was trying to read at the speed I would rad it aloud.
Sorry about the working, tommyrot. You shouldn't have to actually do work when you're about to be on vacation.

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
Can someone explain this filibuster/nuclear option business to me in a way that I can understand? Because everytime I try to read about it my eyes glaze over and I find that my head feels unusually heavy and then I wake up with my face stuck to my keyboard.
