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.

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

As long as one can MULTI-BOJANGLE, how could it be a bad thing?

If I only had a brain...

Alas. One of the more interesting games we used to play at my office was "Who will win?" -- the idea was that a bell would ring and everyone would fly into a homicidal rage, leap up from their desks and attack the first person they met. The winner of that fight would attack the winner of an adjacent battle and so on till only one person was left standing. We whiled away many otherwise productive hours figuring out the pairings depending on who turned left and who right, deciding whether the boss would be killed in his first combat or his second, and generally frittering away the energy that might have gone to implementing the game for real.

That reminded me of ita.

Well, that's a flashback to the WotC customer service days ...

OMG, now I totally want to fly into a homicidal rage.

For the fun of it, though. Not an angry rage, or anything.

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

If you send me a ticket, I'll also come visit you. k?

Yay.

ita, if you do fly into a homicidal rage, will you make sure someone films it for us?

Also, having Carrot Top present at ground zero would mean that everyone wins.

Easy for you to say, what with you not having to touch him. Maybe he can be a few cubes down, and taken out by the elderly security guard or something.

What, you couldn't pick up a chair or bookend and enjoy the feeling of bones crunching through an intervening medium?
