You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sweet. I just skipped 150-some posts and then got this post at the top of my screen. Well-timed, Mr. tea!

It is most excellent. And I've come across an origami hedgehog that frankly looks more like an echidna to me, and I plan to get hold of the plans and alter the nose. I already have origami penguin designs, they're relatively easy to capture.

"The way your daddy looked at it, this cell phone was your birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this cell phone up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the cell phone. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the cell phone to you."

"Dude, you're just talking out of your ass again." "No, wait, that sounds like my father. Hang on a moment. t bends over SPEAK UP, DAD!!"

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

You should start being jealous around now.

I'm late! Gotta jet!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Okay, I can do that.

I'm jealous!

Perkins, did you get mail from me?

People are being whacko. Had to go to the store and traffic was all backed up. Why? The shell station was selling gas THREE WHOLE CENTS cheaper than the cheapest station in along a 5 mile run.

That's a WHOLE $0.60 YOU WILL SAVE on 20 GALLONS OF GAS.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Enjoy!

(I am hiding my jealousy.)

I don't think so*. Snail, or email?

  • though if I should have last week, I may need to revise my answer when I get home.

And if you count the gas they burn off, either idling while in line, or stopping then restarting their cars, I bet they still lose.

I ended up spending .12 more per gallon cause I forgot to get gas near my house and had to get gas near work instead. I might have sniffled a little.

Huh. My desk is totally cleaned off. I don't have email to deal with, or projects waiting, or anything. I'm heading home now but am worried that there is something I am forgetting to do. I'm not used to this. But I'm sure something will be in crisis by the time I get in tomorrow. I have faith in this place.

eta: My post number is counting. It is very mathy. Or about to turn this car around and go home. Could be either.

Email. I sent one today cause I wasn't sure if I sent the first to the right place.

And if you count the gas they burn off, either idling while in line, or stopping then restarting their cars, I bet they still lose.

Probably. I'd probably be more understanding if the cars weren't luxury vehicles, but rather beaters. Because someone driving a beater is more likely to maybe be scraping the coin jar (BTDT, cried over spilled gas.) But if you are driving a late model Lexus SUV? If you're digging in the couch for gas money, you need to ditch that car.
