Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

What is even happening?

Yup, non of you has Hebrew fonts on their computers.

You cannot actually prove that, unless you come back here and inspect each and every computer, that each and every one of us uses. Also? We have a thread where we could find them if we wanted to, in the blink of an eye.

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

Hrmmph. Clearly, the next Nilly Tour has to be routed nearer those of us who *do* have Hebrew fonts.

C'mon tommyrot, would he ever tell anyone, "No more public eschatology?"--I think not.

He might. But he'd probably think he was saying, "Don't make 'shoo, scat' motions at the peasants."

OK, you're on.

We do?

OK, you're on, too.

This was odd. I just finished a can of diet Coke, then, without shifting my grip on the can, I squished it in the middle till the sides met so I could throw the can in the recycling bin (thumb on one side, three fingers on the other side). A girl in the break room gasped, "Gosh, you're strong!" I stared at her in disbelief. Are there really normal, healthy grown-ups in the world who can't easily smoosh a modern aluminum can? I've seen writing paper thicker than the metal that goes in to those things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have we seen this? Bible in SMS.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I recall some brand (7Up, maybe?) that still used fairly thick steel cans that were hard to crush when I was in high school and much, much tinier than I am now. But I don't think full, unopened modern aluminum cans would be all that hard to squish.

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

I think it's the meeting of old and new that makes it so hot. Or maybe it's because there's a Nano involved.

I had a terrible, terrible dream last night, the sort that made me drag the emotions out into the daylight (all the better for them to evaporate), but ICK. So no fair.

A girl in the break room gasped, "Gosh, you're strong!"

Bwah! Not like you smashed it against your forehead. (Which you should totally do, next time you see her coming.)

Ooh. For me, it's because I love wood boxes for anything. Plus the nano.
