We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Here it comes.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The really horrible thing is, he could.

He could by taking charge and leading a sound rebuilding of NOLA. However, as others have said above, that would require such a complete change of character that everyone would be wondering what the pod people did with the real one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

....and now it's too fucking late to get over there in time. So no back-to-school night for me.

This day is sucking.

Sounded like a list of grants for Haliburton, to me.

If it makes you feel any better, it turns out Serenity will be opening on September 30th here, which was not a foregone conclusion.

Doesn't help? Sorry about the traffic, Hec. Fortunately, Emmett sounds like a bright kid who will understand, but I know that's not all that much of a consolation.

He doesn't even get to go to Back To School Night. It's more about showing up so the teacher understands that even though Emmett's parents are divorced they are both involved in all school activities blah blah blah. It's just important to make an appearance at these things, but it's massively fubar on the freeway now. I'm looking at a webcam view from the Bridge and everything is crawling.

Oh. Perhaps you can set up another time to meet with her? You could bring a picture from tomorrow's paper explaining why you weren't there. Anyway, it sounds big enough to make the paper, but I'm a bumpkin, so maybe not.

Or, what I should have said instead of giving advice that you already know, is I'm sorry you're missing back to school night, Hec.

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

The president on your telly is about to explode!

seany, can you hop on IM a mo?

Sorry, Trudes. I walked away for a bit.

Um, no. I'm on a reinstalled system after my hard drive seized up. I don't have a message program installed yet. Can you send me an email?
