Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

shrift, I think you need to respond calmly with I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

I actually said something similar (different name, of course) to a user once. Completely unintentional, and in the same bored tone. There was a long silence and then they started to giggle. It was really odd. I didn't actually get it until after I'd hung up the phone.

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

Thanks for the hopes, guys.

I'm now doing actual work, and maybe that's what my head is telling me. Stop being employed. The thinking is making me dizzy. I'm useless.

Last tech support ticket I sent in got a reply that included "Maybe it was a glitch in the matrix."

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

I can think of a handful of slashers who would deny Actual Queers equal rights.

Actual Queers have a habit of not picking out the kind of curtains you want them to, unlike fictional character queers.

Y'know, I can think of a handful of slashers who would deny Actual Queers equal rights. So, no.

You know, I do know that people come in all shapes and sizes and stupidities, but even so... huh.

I can think of one or two Actual Queers who do the same. Some peoples are weird.

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

Maybe there are folks from the SciFi Channel who lurk and will see this:

When giant scorpions walked the earth

Tracks found in Scotland look to be from an ancient water scorpion as big as a kitchen table. If the analysis is right, it is the first evidence of the creature coming ashore.

The scorpion, a six-legged thing called Hibbertopterus, was about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long and 3 feet (1 meter) wide. It is long since extinct.

There is a drawing. It's a freakish-looking thing....

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can think of a handful of slashers who would deny Actual Queers equal rights.

I even know at least one gay Republican....

I'll note that the Vatican spoke of "supporting the gay culture," not "supporting civil rights for gays." So it can be argued that discussing HoYay! with anything other than complete and utter disapproval would apply.

They're Not Gay, They Just Love Each Other?

shrift, I think you need to respond calmly with I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Aw, too late. I just got off a conference call with them.

I don't get that. If a political party had denying me rights as part of it's platform, I'd become a single issue voter.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I didn't think exoskeleton type critters could get that big. Not out of water anyway.
