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

So, it only takes about 40 minutes longer than any other method of cooking salmon?

I need that recipe for cooking salmon on top of a car engine....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's wrong with your email, msbelle?

I am currently looking into getting my hair cut at Arrojo Studios. Hee!!

Cool! I would let Nick cut my hair however he wanted. I can't even say that about my own stylist.

Clearly, I would not be getting my hair cut by Nick. But! I'd probably be getting it cut by someone who is being trained by someone who was trained by Nick! For twenty bucks!

Well, sure. But in my dream world, he could cut my hair however he wanted.

But! I'd probably be getting it cut by someone who is being trained by someone who was trained by Nick!

And that's still really cool!

For twenty bucks!

And that may just be the very bestest part!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

AND I wouldn't have to take off work to do it, the best part. I've been going back and forth about whether I actually get paid little enough to take a day off for a free haircut.

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

You know, my professional career has always been about reducing the amount of paper in the enterprise. Always. It's the raison d'etre of this department. Why, then, do I come in to see a printed out e-mail on my chair with handwriting on it? My boss doesn't sit remotely near my sube. That can't have been the easy answer.

Hey, it's started to rain. That's not right, I was thinking about doing some work on the backyard spaceship after work. Maybe I'll clean the basement instead.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Oh good, I had a hivemind question about dishwashers, and now the subject actually has come up (the plate of shrimp lattice of coincidence strikes again).

Until this February, I've never really had a dishwasher before. Somehow, I got it in my head that you are not supposed to clean non-stick pots and pans in one. Is that correct, or have I just been making extra work for myself for 4 months?

I know a good stainless steel pan I got recommends against it, and I KNOW you never wash cast iron that way, but I'm wondering if I made up the non-stick thing in my head.
