flea, we use a wireless doorbell like this at my office. Would that work? You could just hit the button at the desk and it would ring back in the office.
(x-posty goodness!)
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Lunar Robo-Penguin!!!
Robotic 'Penguin' could hop on moon
LONG BEACH, Calif. - A robotic Lunar Penguin explorer could be hopping around on the moon by 2009, Raytheon Co. said Tuesday, as it unveiled the concept lander at an aerospace conference.
The unmanned lunar device, in development for two years, is 3 feet (1 meter) tall and weighs approximately 230 pounds (105 kilograms). It “hops” by reigniting small propulsion engines.
The Penguin, unveiled at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Space 2005 Conference, can make a single jump of about six-tenths of a mile (1 kilometer) and could be adapted to make additional jumps, possibly over greater distances.
...
The squat, compact unit has a few tiny jump boosters protruding below and on its sides, and looks nothing like an actual penguin.
Aw, crap....

Thrive to spite them
We have a wireless doorbell. Right now the battery is dead or something and it's not working.
I'm not too worked up since Annoying Coworker got in the habit of standing there and ringing it while it was at my desk. Luckily we have it velcroed to the counter so I could take it away from him and hide it in my desk drawer.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I did not realize we are doing "what I like about myself." I like my hair, which unfortunately, at the moment, is all askew.
The Katrina-harbinger winds have made their way here, and were whipping through the Back Bay just now at at least 30 mph. Commute home is going to be a hairpocalypse.

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

Did you slap his hand? You should totally slap his hand.
I am not ready for it to be Wednesday! Week going too fast!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My lunch today= 6 Oreos.
Good, bad, you decide.

It's bad. In fact, your choice and actions were also bad and I think you might need a severe reprimand.

Did you eat them with milk? if so, that's nutritious.
