I think ita just called me a musical whore.
Not necessarily -- are you getting paid? And do you have someone to beat you to keep you in line?
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

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

Actually, it's more than a nest egg. It's more like a nest ostrich at this point...
I cannot bear to do any work today. Which is something of a problem.
Yeah, I'm right there with you. And listening to punk rock really isn't helping my work ethic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
are you getting paid?
No. In fact, I'm paying for the privilege. What's the opposite of a whore?
And do you have someone to beat you to keep you in line?
Well, the violinists can get pretty snarky if you get in their way...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
"Wow, where'd you dig up that old relic?" "I KNOW! I didn't think there were any of these old Ford F-150s left anymore."
Voyager actually did this in the episode where they found Amelia E-a-r-h-a-r-d-t frozen in a tube on an alien planet.. There was that episode where they found an old Ford pick up truck floating in space that they beamed into a cargo bay. Tom Paris turned on the ignition, and it started right up. Built Ford tough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So Jesse, that gig pay much?
Ha ha ha. Remember the part where I'm making my full semester's pay over break.
No. In fact, I'm paying for the privilege. What's the opposite of a whore?
I don't think we have that in English.

I have two big things to do by COB today. And another thing. And some other stuff.
I'd really rather read the fic on my flist, since they've turned off webmonitoring for the morning.
I just saw all these people at the company holiday festivities that lasted all day on Saturday! Why must I be here?
Shrift, run, run like the wind!
Oh, and ... I should probably register for Escapade, huh? And get a hotel room? I'm probably driving down with Laura, it looks like.

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

But it was a '30s (IIRC) truck, so it didn't grate as much....
Wait, it was floating in space? I'd tend to think that most or all fluids in the truck would have evaporated in the vacuum of space....

You'd think, wouldn't you. If it hadn't been floating in space, they wouldn't have noticed that something was odd about the planet. Also, they never explained how it got into space. It was my Voyager jumps the shark episode.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was gonna say, what is the freezing point of gasoline? And if it was a truck from the days before synthetic motor oils, good luck getting that puppy to drive with the elderly sludge in its insides.
Also, what if the cold denatured the leather in the seats??
