Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

The sympathy angle. I totally hadn't thought of that. I could be one of those fans that everyone hates.
I think fandom should spot you a get-a-sympathy-hug moment. We've been all sane and productive for a really long time!
(Although any licking really ought to be saved for the last day of the con as to make it less traumatic when they yoink our badges. Heh.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Breaking news on MSNBC (no actual story yet):

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's still flooding, and I think the logistical difficulties (food, potable water, sanitation) are too much for the city to handle, with all of the flooding and damage.

The latest figures I saw online were that 80% of the city is flooded. It's as bad, flood-wise, as if it had been hit head on, with the category 5 storm. The levees are giving, and the water keeps pouring in.

I wonder if any progress has been made on closing the breaches. It looks like I-10 East out of the city is pretty much destroyed.
