You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I memorized my passport number, 2 passports ago. I do not know my most recent pasport #, but I remember that one, so I use parts of it for passwords even today.

This is why I cannot remember to do things like laundry. My brain is taken up with nonsense US-assigned number strings.

I knew a woman once who had her SSN printed on her checks. It was more convenient, she said. She was in the army, which, you would think being in a bureaucracy that large she would learn how easy it is for a bureaucracy to mess with your personal data, but she was quite confident in her public-SSN-ness.

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

Is it bureaucracy we need to worry about? I figure they can already get semi-legit access to my sensitive data anyway. It's Joe Blow that worries me.

You cannot successfully steal my identity if you are not a complete sucker for affectionate cats. No one would believe you and the lack of catfood purchases would raise red flags.

It would be as if I stole yours and failed to do anything martial-arts-like. The deception would collapse in on itself.

Oh, I'd buy the catfood and the stuff. And then bury it in the park.

I'd be very tired.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

And years later, some half-crazed cat lady would discover your cache and take it as proof of the existence of God and use it to feed her gaggle of feral felines.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How is it possible to answer an e-mail that consists almost entirely of questions, without actually answering any of the questions?


sarameg - Nov 07, 2005 9:52:52 am PST #1921 of 10006

True. She'd also have to contend with the utter lack of cathair on every goddamn item of clothing, even the one you haven't brought inside for the first time yet. (Discovered something pulled a sweater off the hanger and nested in it this morning...)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Just use all the words in the questions in a declarative manner.

eta: Err, this won't do anything about the cathair, though.
