And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

From what I remember, the point of the article was to stress that nursing mothers should take care about what kind of Vitamin E oil they used on their nipples. There was some speculation that because a lot of it had been peanut based, that babies were being exposed to too much peanut oil, too soon, before they could tolerate it.

Most peanut allergics don't react to peanut oil unless it's cold-pressed.

My mother ate english muffins with peanut butter for breakfast and apple slices dipped in peanut butter as snacks throughout all 4 of her pregnancies. Only one kid turned out allergic. Sure, there are environmental factors you can avoid, but it's still pretty much a crap-shoot.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OMG. One of my coworkers is explaining American Pie to the rest of them.

The song, not the movie. One of them didn't know the title of the song, and they're treating the "this is about the death of Buddy Holly" like it's news. I'm willing to let "Hotel California is about drugs" slide, but not American Pie! I'm the music-illiterate foreigner here!

Quick, ask them what the lyrics to "Blinded by the Light" really are.

I'll see your "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" (which is easy, since I've never heard of it) and raise you a "Little Red Corvette."

Well, I still have no idea what LRC is about (aside from your Trojan comment). But I never really concentrated on the lyrics, either.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sonofabitch is gone.

See, I don't want him off the Katrina case, I want him gone gone. It's possible there are some vengeancey feelings involved.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Here's your hat, what's your hurry; don't let the door hit you in the ass, on the way out; your cell is ready, and a 1,001 other platitudes to him.

Unfortunately, he's still around to take charge when the next disaster hits.

Cereal:

Let me guess, amych, you were around for Fran?

What is even happening?

You'd think all the little cave-babies and toddlers would've choked on rocks (Annabel is fascinated by pebbles) or poisoned themselves by stuffing random leaves in their mouths.
You have a baby every year and you raise a quarter of them, if you're lucky.
Of course, you're lucky if you live to 40 yourself.

Apparently there are a lot of peanuts in places you wouldn't expect them (e.g. skin oils), as well as there being cross-allergies to soy. A baby who's on soy formula young is supposed to be at greater risk of a later peanut allergy.

There's also a cross-risk with some other foods like mango, and maybe some other melons. If I weren't lazy, I'd look up trends about cooking (both home, and mass production) with peanut oil. I know it seemed sensible to me not to use a peanut based vitamin E oil for nursing care.

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

I still have no idea what LRC is about

There was me, thinking it wasn't all about sex, love, or god. Dude. It's Prince. It about one (or all) of those three, probably.

Key tells:

  • u had a pocket full of horses / Trojan and some of them used
  • u drove me 2 the place / Where your horses run free
  • I saw all the pictures / Of the jockeys that were there before me
  • u say, baby, have u got enough gas?

And how you know I really wasn't paying attention?

  • I’m gonna try 2 tame your little red love machine
  • u got an ass like I never seen / And the ride... / I say the ride is so smooth

Most peanut allergics don't react to peanut oil unless it's cold-pressed.

I don't know how they derive it for the Vitamin E oil. I read it 10 years ago, probably.

Unfortunately, he's still around to take charge when the next disaster hits.

Maybe he'll be moved out of FEMA in a promotion or something.
