If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

But also, like, since when is somebody on alt.sports.football calling someone else a doo-doo head worth making a federal case out of?

Since someone told Dubya about alt.bush.sucks?

Apparently this is an extension of a preexisting law against anonymous crank calling, which also seems silly to me. If someone is harrassing you to the point where you can press harrassment charges against them, why do we need a law spelling out the means by which harrassment is not allowed?

Now, wait a minute. What if she later changed her name to "Nutty", would being annoying be a crime then?

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

Perkins, you just watch yourself.

Why? Am I about to do something interesting?

Get them to email it to you under an assumed name, and throw the book at them!

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

My boss kvetched at me for not doing other people's jobs, and so I've started doing them.

It is irritating to have to pick up the slack for people who aren't even in my department, but damn, it feels good to be able to close out a project (and cc their management to boot).

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Anonymous trolling: illegal.

Using laundered money to fund redistricting Texas to marginalize minority and/or Democratic voters: a-ok.

Monitoring communications of unconvicted citizens without a court order: peachy.
