Polish typists must be the most nimble in the world. Typing names like Rodziewiczowna and Przybysz all the time could only make you very dexterous.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
You would really really be surprised. I'm no nimble typist -- as anyone who has been on AIM with me can attest -- but, given the motivation, I can spell Yastrzemski corerctly nine times out of ten.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Oh. A metaphorical bus. Maybe I can get my jaw off the floor now, if not completely closed.
I was in the same mental place.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
When I worked for Waldenbooks, Little Warsaw was just down the street from the mall, so we had a lot of Polish people frequenting the store. Quite a few of them signed up for the frequent shopper card, but since errors were frequently made by the staff when typing the info into the system, I'd occasionally call in to the office to have them correct the entries. Once, I had a stack of over 50 entries to correct, and the operator I spoke with (in Ann Arbor, MI) was flabbergasted over the number of people with multisyllabic last names ending in "ski."
Oh, and this is for brenda m and all the other Chicago dog owners out there--Chicago is Dogtown USA (as determined by Dog Fancy magazine)!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm sad about the bus not existing.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I was in the same mental place.
Me fifth.

I was wondering if it was a tour bus or a city bus.

What is even happening?
As was I.And I was thinking--well, you know, having what looks way too much like a roid rage attack ain't helping your case, Raphael.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"We're exceptionally proud. This just enhances our city," Kent said. "By being dog-friendly, we're also being people-friendly. People want to travel with animals. They want to bring their animals to a lot of locations, to go to dog parks and beaches."
Except they don't let dogs into bars.
There's this really cool bar in Wicker Park that used to allow dogs in (Lemmings, IIRC) - they even had a little yard for the dogs to go weewee in. I went with a friend and her dog many times. But then the city forced them to stop allowing dogs in.
Yeah, I'm sure there's health reasons to not allow dogs into bars. But it was fun! The dogs loved it! So did the patrons!
