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

I get to be the cop that doesn't play by the rules? Awesome.

You'll do whatever it takes to see justice is done. Or more.

Of course, since I'm black, I'll yell at you, wave a cigar, and demand your badge, but deep inside I totally understand what you're doing, and once you're out of the office I'll put my job on the line to protect you from the higher-ups.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

City of Biscuits in Selfridges:

Mr Dong said he had chosen biscuits because they look like building blocks and "they are very sweet so you can't eat a lot of them otherwise they make you sick".

An estimated 72,000 biscuits, including digestives, chocolate digestives, rich tea, hobnobs, caramels and fruit shortcake, will be used during the week-long project.

Mr Dong has also built biscuit cities in Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai and Paris.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow stunned diners on Tuesday night when she ordered what looked like raw fish and then downed a beer. The star was dining with husband Chris Martin at the New York City sushi bar Cube 63 where Paltrow ordered a salad and what appeared to be sushi, which is thought to be potentially harmful during pregnancy. Martin left the restaurant to pick up several bottles of Irish stout Guinness at a nearby deli and when he returned, diners were surprised when Paltrow, who is five months pregnant with the couple second child, drank one herself. According to a witness, "People were looking and waving, and she just tried to melt further into the corner." Some health experts recommend a little Guinness for expectant mothers because of the drink's high iron content. A representative for the actress confirmed she drank the alcoholic beverage, but said she ate only cooked food, not sushi.

I ate sushi while pregnant--not the raw fish kind but the other stuff that was safe. Oh, and for the love of all that's holy--the preggo police need to lay off this woman! One beer isn't going to give her sprog Fetal Alcohol Syndrome! My doc always gave me the ok for the odd half glass of wine or light beer. Feh.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My mom sent me these lovely sheer curtains with bright pink flowers stitched on them for the kitchen. They are so happy making. I'll have to iron them out and hang them tonight.

I need some sort of new decoratey thing for my apartment. I really want to take down the sliding doors that separate my dressing area from my bedroom/living room and put up these curtains.

But I've no place to put the sliders. They don't fit under the bed.

I need decorating options.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching the OC from last week, and Ryan is such a suckass! And I hate Taylor. And what the fuck is up with that guy who works with Sandy? Why do I watch this show.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of course, since I'm black, I'll yell at you, wave a cigar, and demand your badge, but deep inside I totally understand what you're doing, and once you're out of the office I'll put my job on the line to protect you from the higher-ups.

Sure, you understand my pain, what with all of the institutional prejudice you had to deal with while you rose through the ranks.

And, you know, I envy you your relative freedom to operate as you see fit.
