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

Your Stompy powers are creepy and slightly appealing.

Or my memory ... but I like Stompy powers more.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

LL.Bean cardigan, and blue denim skirt are each at least 5 years old, black fancy jersey shirt (technically not a t-shirt, really, that would be violating the dress code) at least ten years old, shoes bought at the DC F2F, bra either from the batch this year or last year, underpants bought last month.

Oh, flea -- that reminds me. I think you once said you liked the Jockey For Her 'Formfit' underpants, and I commiserated because they could no longer be found? I found them, in new packaging but same old cottony fitty goodness, at Target three weeks ago. I mean to go back and stock up, and hold an underwear auto-da-fé to get rid of all the old crummy ones.

How long have you had the clothes you're wearing right now?

Shoes: 3 years
Skirt: 2 years (although it's a one size smaller version of one I dieted out of two years ago, that I'd had 7 years)
Shirt: 2 years
Jacket: 1 year
Undies: 6 mo.
Bra: 1 year
Slip: 3 years

For me this is a relatively new outfit. Yesterday I wore a skirt I've had since 1992.

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

Of course the tires were destroyed, but the wheels were worn down to the axel too.

My wife seems to be making out with Teppy all morning.

Hec, your pal Phil the Unabomber is the main story in the Living/Arts section of the Boston Globe today

Go Phil! Also, check your Sidekick for my email.

The friend was Gary, right? I *love* Gary and Phil stories!

Yep, that was definitely Gary. Although as I recall it they first went to Vegas to become standup comedians, rather than dealers. It might've been a flexible plan, however.

It's been 4 hours since I asked what in the hell they did with my directories.

Not a peep.

I am so fucking spoiled by my own customer service. And I'm the entire helpdesk for this unit! They have a whole goddamned team, and a person dedicated to maintaining that server. They should just answer already, damnit.

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

Don't get me started on "but it's your job to answer that question!" It's a thing.

They have a whole goddamned team, and a person dedicated to maintaining that server.

And they're all sitting there looking at the hosed server going, "You tell her." "No way, man, I've seen her spork collection--you tell her." "Let's make Eugene tell her--he used to run track."

Which doesn't make me any less sympathetic.

I have to admit, I turn into a raging bitch if I don't get reciprocal service. Then the minute I get it, I'm all sweetness and light.

It confuses people.
