Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

What is even happening?

Use the china. It never gets used. It's good for it to get used.

True. The last time it was used was, um, 1995? Crikey. I guess I will be breaking out the china and silver, as otherwise it's paper and plastic, and I don't think paper plates will stand up to the food. I hope it doesn't make the guests uncomfortable.

Our wings are not tired.

I can't imagine uncomfortable guests with Raquel as host. China will be lovely.

At least it's all ABCs. Green chile doesn't appeal to Greeks at all. Here's the menu so far: Margaritas
Chips, salsa, guacamole
Tortilla rollups
Green Chile and Sour Cream Enchiladas
Big Pot of Chili (tm)
Watermelon, Tomato, and Feta salad
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

The salad's a Greek shout-out, and while the cheesecake doesn't scream New Mexican, the recipe's from Santacafe, so it counts. Now I need a side dish.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hrrmph. And they say they invented civilization.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lies Verizon DSL Support Has Told Me Today

  • “We cannot send a service technician to your house.”
  • “I’d be happy to help you today.”

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, yum. Too bad you can't borrow my Fiestaware, Raquel. I've got it all boxed up, but I don't think I can get it to Greece by Thursday.

Oh goodie.

Internet delusions

A report in the medical journal Psychopathology notes that psychotic delusions increasingly concern the internet, suggesting high-technology can fulfil the role of malign 'magical' forces often experienced in psychosis.

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

Lies I Have Told Verizon DSL Support Today

  • “I am an IEEE-certified electrical engineer.”
  • “I would be happy to wait.”
  • “I have completed all your tests as you requested, including rewiring my house.”
