Ann, that's a ferret.

What version of the Bible do they happen to be reading?

The abridged version, which leaves out "Thou shalt not kill" and "Love thy neighbor."

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

The original, or Alien Ant Farm's cover?

AAF. I can't think of another cover where I didn't dislike the original where I adore the new version so much.

I was just referring to people who will just start trying random crap until they've managed to break something else with no recollection of what they did

I figure that deaing with someone who was in desktop support, but doesn't miss it has the advantage that -- I really don't want to fix stuff myself, but I can usually tell when it's easy and something I can do.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

AAF. I can't think of another cover where I didn't dislike the original where I adore the new version so much.

Yup. It's on my "Feel the Burn" playlist on the iPod. It's a fun song.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What Jen said, on both counts.

OMG you guys, I'm so full of Indian food I need a nap ASAP.

In other OMGWTFBBQ news, I was in a meeting earlier where a staff person said that as soon as someone successfully completes her program, she deletes them from the database. Wow, because there's no reason to know what went on last year, right?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Two more weeks, and my manuscript goes out to editors. Right after labor day. Finished polishing the final proposal and sample chapter, it's all good, I guess, and now I just have to sit and wait.

I think the suspense will surely kill me.

And I still can't believe I've gotten this far.

move out and draw fire

Well, there is that whole Old Testament thing where Jacob's tribe had to kick everyone else's ass to show that their God was winning. So maybe that's the textual basis for hate-style Christianity.

In related news, I got proselytized today by Mormons. They were busking down at the main square and hailed me in Greek. I walked over and said in English, "You know what you are doing is illegal here, right?" The guy I was talking to kind of blinked with surprise (I guess he didn't expect an American) and I left before I could get the standard answer of "We're not proselytizing! We're offering people the opportunity!"
