I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

OMG, I just got an email from a crackpot who feels compelled to note "No i am not an activist!"

Um, ok? The publicity department gets stuff like this all the time. Our group usually gets a different kind of crackpot.

I gotta say, it makes me wonder about people. We're a very imaginative sort, if a bit stupid.

I've been in 3 meetings so ar today and the next one starts in 30 minutes. GOOD GRAVY! I am treating myself to a Cap Blast for lunch.

ION, I have been told that I am a very valuable assest to the company and am doing a great job at keeping things organized. I am not opposed to hearing such things, but it felt a lot like blowing smoke up my ass and I can't figure out a reason why.

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

it felt a lot like blowing smoke up my ass and I can't figure out a reason why.

Because you've spent too much time around me?

Turns out the video was of a man getting mauled by a lion. Great use of company resources, bucko.

well, maybe net time.

No, I am naturally non-trusting and suspicious of folk, but this person has nothing to gain by buttering me up. Well, nothing that I can see anyway.

Sounds like a really good way to chip a tooth.

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

I have mentioned on occasion that I saw that live and people would tell me that wasn't possible. But it was on the tv in the school library and I was checking out books.

Some other class at my grade school was watching it -- I want to say first graders. I had no idea it wasn't a normal network broadcast; it was just the school TV rolled out into the foyer hall. (A teacher came rushing into my science class as we were shuffling out, and I remember the science teacher (who was a shmuck) uttering a mild curse of surprise.)

I didn't watch the Challenger disaster live myself, but the kids in one of the science classes at my school did. That particular science teacher had been a finalist in the teacher selection, and knew Christa MacAuliffe personally. It hit him pretty hard.

I didn't watch it live, but I do seem to remember that tape of the accident was all anybody watched for the next few days.

Feh. People get mauled by lions all the time. Now, someone getting mauled by a llama, that would be a video worth passing around.

If it isn't out there already, it will be. Like doggy porn.

Which of course brings on the inevitability of llama porn...
