How am I supposed to sleep now
I think your bosses might be okay with your being unable to sleep at this moment. Hey! Maybe I can use this confusion to keep me awake tonight and tomorrow morning.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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

I see ads for In-Demand Degrees, prostate meds, and diet pills.
Only the prostate meds strike me as overly ironic, except I'm pretty sure eunuchs still have prostates.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Castratos are snipped before puberty -- I think eunuch covers guys who lose the goods at any point.
So castrati could be a subset of eunuchs, then? I'm fine with that.

Heh. I guess they're not consistently generated.
I get ads for Cuisinart products and shaving supplies.
Now I want to load the pages a number of times...ha! This time I get ads for Christian singles.
That's what happens when you trigger ad selection by text and not context.

I think it's not "could be", but "are."
eta²: Oh, I see your ads, Jessica -- I was talking about the ones in the body, not the sidebar.

Aha! I see where the in-context ads are now.

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

The links contained below show pictures of how the Eze Bloodless Castrator works. Please be patient when the images down load. I promise you they will be benificial to you.
Now that's an unusual definition of 'benificial.'

I get ads for Cuisinart products and shaving supplies.
And now I'm conflating these with the current in-thread castration theme. Eeek.

They are on a page all about eunuchs, after all.
The castration device ads are at least...well, literally on topic.
Bloodless castration, huh? That's...handy?

Customer testimonial:
"We received the new castrator today. My, your service is prompt! My husband is already rubbing his hands gleefully, wanting to use it tonight. But, since it is 9:30 at night and -10° F, I think he'll wait until morning. Thanks Again."
eta: OK, this one is ew:
"Hey Folks, this is the best thing for castration since the invention of the pocketknife. Or maybe the sharpening stone! Thanks for a job well done."

I like to hedge my bets when I know I'm skimming -- my reading comprehension is low enough, even when I'm trying to pay attention.
