So far I've found this:
In a recent Sith Academy story, Darth Maul actually does get PMS and takes to his bed with a pint of ice cream and a romance novel.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I don't want to say anything too loud, but I think the alarm has stopped.
Fuck. I knew I spoke too soon. That's what I get. Let this be a lesson to others.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
And, it seems, the majority of us seem to name our cars after comic book/sci-fi characters. WHAT a surprise.
Don't usually do more than lurk over here (the Natter, she be frighteningly fast and hard to keep up with), but just had to chime in to mention that my truck is called Strider, 'cuz it's a Ranger.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Am I mistaken in thinking the standard handicapped stall protocol is that it's up for grabs, except handicapped people go straight to the head of the line?

Hah! You should get license plates with "ARAGORN," like the Jeep I was behind a few months ago (with a plate holder that said "There and Back Again").

hip deep in pie
That's my take on it, ita. Though, I've been tsk-tsk'd for going in the handicapped stall.

My best car ever, '77 Toyota GT Liftback, was named Jake. After the boy in Sixteen Candles. I took Jake over from my sister in '82 or '83. I don't think she'd named him. He saw me through two years of high school, four years of college, and about a year after that. Finally donated him to Goodwill after he developed some wiring problem that no one seemed able to fix. I always hoped he ended up with some teenager who liked to tinker with cars.

That's the protocol I've always followed, ita. No taking the handicapped stall if others are available (unless of course I have Annabel in the stroller, in which case it becomes the only viable choice), and no taking it if there's anyone handicapped behind you in line, but otherwise it's fair game.

That's my understanding, though I'll use another stall unless thay're all full. I'm not sure if that's because of protocol or preference.
