aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Someone needs to cook up a folk song for that mouse, pronto.

And, on that note: later, peeps.

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

Struggle, depressed mouse! Struggle!

Unless it's my mother holding the tail. In that case, it's simpler to give up and let it pass quickly.

There was no ginger ale down the hill! It's like a fucking conspiracy to deprive me.

Anyone know why I keep wanting to use the word "pussies" as an insult while I'm at work? It's never even about people here. I hope my switchouts for "wusses" aren't too obvious. I don't use the word as an insult anywhere else.

It's odd.

Daisy, EXACTLY. And just who came up with that idea as a test?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

but lots of cell systems do not

When the barge took out the Interstate-40 bridge in Oklahoma a few years ago it also took out the utility lines that ran under the bridge. Sprint was down in much of eastern OK and western AR for a week. I think one other cellphone provider lost service, but I don't remember which.

Always Anti-fascist!

You know what's truly sad? hearing some weird story about mice getting swung by their tails and thinking there's a metaphor for your life in it. Did you kill the President of Paraguay's thread with a fork, Gus? THat is my biggest question right now...apart from the sobering mouse analogy of course.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think it is a conspiracy of deprivation (and not even just to deprive you). Our non caffeinated drink collection sucks ass.

Also, mint tea-- really not that calming.

Count the flecks of tea that escaped the bag. When you wake up....

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have TJ's Ginger Beer in my fridge. I'm saving it for a reward when I've accomplished something.

hip deep in pie

I thought mint tea was supposed to be invigorating?
