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

In other news, MacGyver is on pace for becoming a real word:

Asked how he managed to give up only one run, Leiter was speechless for a moment. "Magic, mirrors," he said. "When the moment came when I really needed to make a pitch, I was able to get it.

"And it's not that I'm lackadaisical leading up to the 'MacGyver' moment when I've got to get out of the mess, but I'm kind of relentless in the fact that I refuse to give in to the hitter or the umpire. It sometimes hurts me."

Now, to make those quotes around the word disappear -- it will become as normal as shenanigan or mulligan in everyday speech!

There's a book out called "What would MacGyver do?", which tells how to use common objects in neat ways.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The problem with using "MacGyver" as a word is that there's so many ways to spell it.

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 problem with using "MacGyver" as a word is that there's so many ways to spell it.

Also, it makes me think of Patty and Selma.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So our dog has been barking once in awhile around bedtime at something which she sees out the window. She NEVER barks, so we knew it had to be something.

As I took her out for her walk at 6 this morning, what did I see in the yard but an opossum with two babies on her back! All so very cute and fluffy and staring right at us with bright black eyes. My dog, the doofus, was too busy looking down the sidewalk for other dogs to notice the opossum, so I froze, knowing if Layla saw her she'd bark and wake up the neighborhood. The opossum crept veeery sloooowly along the fence, never taking her eyes off us. Her babies hung on to her back with their teeny hands and also kept watching us. They slipped around the side of the neighhbor's house and disappeared. So cool!

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

Sure beats a truckload of shit.

OMG is it a universal time-space continuum thing, and not just "We've secretly switched her real coffee with something that tastes remarkably like, but with completely inert caffeine molecules."

Dear universe: I noticed.
