Were we gone for a few minutes?
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We weren't gone, so much as we couldn't get here (perhaps a problem with AboveNet in San Diego, from cursory poking around).

I think I'm having a problem with squinting because the monitor faces a big, sunny window.
When you look to either side or above your monitor, the lighting level should be the same as your monitor.
I had to disconnect a bunch of bulbs in my office, as it was way too bright.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This is me. The light level is perfect in the morning and way too bright for most of the afternoon. But I'm too lazy to climb over my desk and put the shades down.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's been a while since we had a happy things question, so...
What's something that's made you smile in the last few days?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Also, a few weeks ago Newsweek had an interview with an engineer from Honda's NA division. I have loved all Hondas I or my family have ever owned, but after reading the interview, I'm ready to say I'll never own another make.
To clarify, I mean any other make than Honda. The guy said something about when he was first working there, boss man had asked him to make the car more fuel efficient. He told the boss man that consumers weren't interested in fuel efficiency (this was a while back). Boss man said, "I know." The engineer said he's embarassed about it now.
The article is in the 6/27 issue, or at least that's what it said when I searched the archives. I'd paste it, but I'm not paying $2.95 to get a direct quote.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
And the relevant quote.
I'll never forget it. I was a rookie leading this MDX team. We'd done the research and we had an efficient package. But when we pitched our business plan to the board of directors, Mr. [Koichi] Amemiya, who was in charge of North America, his No. 1 comment was: "It should be more green." I made the mistake of saying, "But sir, nobody cares about the green issues." And he just smiled and said "I know."
