Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

VW needs to include the white-trash tiramisu in the cookbook.

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

The caf is selling two desserts for $1.50. I have fear.

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

We always had a lot of barn cats when I was growing up. Once several cats got buried by dry, chopped hay that was being blown into the barn. We found their mummified corpses half a year later.

I had just broken up with my girlfriend, and I was tempted to leave an anonymous mummified cat outsider her house for her (I would have put it in a box). But then I realized she'd know it was me, as she would probably figure that I was the only person she knew with access to mummified cats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like for some reason I was going to tell msbelle to EAT IT earlier, but I got distracted with work, and now I forget why. I guess it never hurts... Hey, msbelle: EAT IT.

HMOG. That's a little too reminiscent of the trauma I had watching Witness as a kid. That silo shit FREAKED ME OUT.

What was the silo thing in Witness? Someone get burried by silage?

My father would tell us stories of farmers who were suffocated in silos, because sometimes they get filled with... I dunno, some gas as a result of decomposition of the silage - enough to displace all the oxygen in the silo.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

One of my ex-roommates had a mummified dead cat in an ornate gilt frame around black velvet. Which, by itself, isn't so bad, but ... she called it Bob, put little dessicated mice in other gilt frames and hung them on the wall to keep Bob company, and would occasionally eye my cat in a speculative manner.

Yes. (That was Witness, right?) The bad guy ended up trapped in the silo with the corn or whatever pouring down on him. I was apparently not old enough to have seen it in the theater like I did. I lost my shit. Not sure why, as I've never worried about suffocation before or since.

Huh.
