"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I can't do that, so somebody's got to. Emily, you're nominated.

"Three! Three revisions!"

Is this followed quickly by The Count laughing, "Wah! Ah! Ah!" --? Hope so, since that is what I do.

Pretty sure it was, since that's always what I hear in my head.

Also, my boss is now referring to me as "Hopalong".

Hopalong?

I have parents. One is asleep on the couch, the other is reading my Monitors before I get a chance to. rolls eyes.

I can't even.

Man with bloodstained weapons let into US from Canada. It worked, because he was a citizen.

Lock up your elderly country music artists. We have hundreds of crazy-looking guys with bloody chainsaws and all the Homeland Insecurity billions can buy will hardly slow them down, apparently. Send 'em in, boys!

I had an argument with the ground, and my foot lost. You guys are lucky I don't have a digital camera, else I'd be posting lurid photos of my injuries like ita.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That is quite possibly the most bugfuck insane-looking mug shot I've ever seen. Certainly in the top five. Someone crosses the border looking like that, carrying (among other things) a blood-dripping chainsaw, and they detain him for two hours and then let him go because his papers are in order and he doesn't appear to have broken any border-crossing laws? Guh?

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

Okay, let's not.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Me: "Three! Three revisions!"
Coworkers: "Uh oh."
Me: "There. Are. Four! Lights!"

This reminds me that I meant to link to the most recent MacHall strip. (Warning: Language) [link]

have they never heard of probable cause? I mean, the one time where they actually HAVE it, and they don't use it. I hate to say it, but if he had been a person of color, you can bet your ass that they would have actuall done something.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

My understanding is that NOTHING CAN STOP THE WARMING.

OK - a little late, but this is a meme that is spreading I want to answer; it is technically true, but in a way that is not nearly as bad as it sounds.

Some global warming has already occured. Some additional amounts are already irreverisble locked in. But the amount of global warming that is "locked in" is not the amount in the doomsday scenarios. If humanity chooses, we can turn it around well short of civilization ending disaster. Global warming is not an on-off switch; it is a continuoum of effects. It is not too late to preserve our ability do agriculture outdoors, and you know some of the basic things we need for survival.
