You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Why is the number 17 ringing some bell for me?

It's fortified with extra Nilly-magic. As well as being, just generally, the coolest number in the world.

THAT'S it - I remember it's her favorite.

As well as being, just generally, the coolest number in the world.

I'm not sure I get why this is, though.

Big fan of 25

And most of those from work. Yay, bosses who don't care so long as you bring in the numbers!

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

25 is so ... boring. 17's wild, unpredictable and flexible. Okay, NSM with the flexible.

Frank, does looking at linoleum make you want to have sex?

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

Also, Hostile 17.

Well, it's those cheekbones and abs, DX.

No. These days it makes me think "I really need to clean the kitchen/bathroom floor." Sad really.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

As well as being, just generally, the coolest number in the world.
It totally is. I adore 17. My odometer hit 71717 and it was all backwards and forwards cool.

My hugest frustration with the insurance thing is one, this was the big haggling point when we were negotiating and two, I am totally out of one script that if I had known I was going to have to pay out of pocket I would have done it at the end of last week and not missed four doses and three, can't they fix something in the computer so the pharmacy can find out that I actually am covered. Um, my hugest-est frustrations are... It will be fixed eventually but it's a pain until then.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Okay, NSM with the flexible.

No, nsm with the flexible. I mean, you can't even divide it evenly with anything but itself or 1.

In continuing dentistry woes, I can't get a root canal appointment until August 23rd.
