I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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

My Nano just played Hey Mickey, followed by I will survive , and now it's on It's raining men.

It's like a cheese party, right there in my headphones.

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

Still doesn't make them mammals.

Depends how far they've mutated, dunnit?

Don't resist the truth, sara. Accept. Also, I have some koolaid here.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bob is in an improv class right now with some guy who says he married into a family of ninjas. He claims that because his sister-in-law is ninja, she can't use recipes, and therefore, her cooking is atrocious. Bob believed the story at the time. But now I kind of doubt the whole thing. But what do people think of the idea that if you are a ninja, you can't cook by a recipe?

I just think this guy has too many outlandish stories. I mean, it's one thing if you married into a family of ninjas and they have a fued with Stephen Hayes; but if the next week you're talking about how your (ninja!) wife paints the bathroom while on Ambien, I think you read too much.

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

MUTANT turtles.

Still doesn't make them mammals.

Do the mutant turtles get lethargic in cold weather? Do they prefer to warm themselves in the sun before going on a mission? Do they lay eggs?

You're reaching, sweetie. They are turtled, just mutant.

I have my own koolaid, right here.

I'd say poppycock, but maybe she'd flip out and kill me.

It sounds like crap--I've never heard anything about ninjutsu that avoids recipes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

But what do people think of the idea that if you are a ninja, you can't cook by a recipe?

I call BS. What are their secret scrolls of techniques if not recipes for death?

Mutant: An individual, organism, or new genetic character arising or resulting from mutation.

If I posit it's possible that they have fur or nipples or warm blood or live births, WHO ARE YOU TO CONTRADICT ME?

The first mammal was just a mutant, after all. It could happen again.

Right? Every week Bob is in this class and they all have to tell a story. Three of like four weeks Bob comes home and must relate the stories that come from that guy. No other stories are that interesting. So I think he's maybe some kind of fabulist (or, you know, an...improvisor), but the cooking is the only thing I can fact-check from here.

From my vast study of the species(1), I have determined their dominant DNA is turturlian.
