Really, I just have to draw a total of like six straight lines. I think that'll take less time.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fine. Spoil my fun.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Krycek! Is this disaster movie supposed to be a comedy? 'Cause I keep laughing.

You can feel free to try, if it makes you happy. The chapter is about utility, anyway, which is all about your happiness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, pretty much. My Australian Shepherd used to try to herd anything he could - bugs, mice, toddlers...
I knew a Sheltie once who would herd the trees in his (owners') backyard. They all had little rings around them where he'd worn paths.
[eta that the closest my family's Springer Spaniel ever got to hunting was bringing us the occasional dead possum. She wasn't very bright.]

Ooh, I can fuck with excel! I have to make shit up with it all the time. I really wish it wouldn't assume stuff, though. Pisses me off.
The advantage of cat breeds over dog breeds is that you go in assuming they are all insane. It helps a lot.
There was something else....oh! I made sandwiches for the WHOLE WEEK. Hopefully I won't forget them this time. Suitably bland, unless I add stuff, like pesto or whatever. Starting with ham and havarti.

My uncle's heelers herd the pigs. Which are in barns. Which means crazy happy dogs with paths worn around the barns.
They kinda freaked out at the last family reunion, what with the handful of toddlers about. Safest toddlers on the planet, let me tell you. Though it was really funny to watch a bewildered dog try to herd a willful 4 year old as she scolded "No! Dog go'way! MOVE! I PLAY!" He stood his ground, but was so, so confused. So she went under him. And so he howled.

Wow. We just had, like, movie-style rain. There was a flash, then a moderate crackle of thunder, then a light pitter-patter began. And now it seems to have stopped. I'm not sure I believe in it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Dog go'way!
Hee. That's what Lucy's favorite dog treats are known as, because you give her one and she - goes away. Really handy sometimes.
Our old sheepdog Ollie could near kill you when she tried to herd you as you went down stairs. On the way up she was in more jeopardy because she'd follow so closely you'd catch her chin with your heel about every third step.
