My sister has reported our first related "but for the grace of my alarm clock" story --
when I heard the time of the bombs (8:50AM london time), I thought, oh, all of my friends should be okay then, because they (and I) were never on time for work.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How safe was my sister? She found out about it, at work, from the internet.
Hey, you know Right Click Lick is shutting down, right?
I totally missed this! Why?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Maybach is the upscale division of Mercedes.
Um... did Mercedes need an upscale division? Isn't that kind of redundant?
He made a point of riding the LA subway this morning, and reassuring passengers while there.
All seven of them, right?
I should not be cute about other people's trains. A Green Line car derailed not far from here this morning. Luckily, after I was already at work. (I don't think anyone was hurt.)

I can understand why the Kingdom of teh Perky is becoming a tyranny.
I read "tyranny" as "tranny". It was a different sentence entirely.

Holy crap! Where was that, Nutty? The last two days have not been good ones for the MBTA, have they, after the Orange Line fiasco yesterday (not sure what it was, but they were have massive delays).

I just read an article on V12 cars, and IIRC Mercedes was low-end.
There's a lot of room out there, for people with mad money.

the Orange line thing was due to flooding and electrical problems, I believe.
Frank! I saw you on the train today! I didn't say hi, 'cause... morning. sleepy. antisocial.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, I am not a person who cares about cars, notices cars, knows one car from another. This Maybach turned my head. It was noticably nice.

Heh. No worries - I know exactly what you mean. I probably would have blinked a few times and looked confuzzled before achieving any semblance of recognition if you had.
