Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

It's a big huge world, except for the part where it's frequently ridiculously tiny.

Reminds me of two similar instances: (1) ex-girlfriend (from his h.s. years) of my brother's calls my mom four years after they graduated from h.s., "Was Kip in Walt Disney World last week?" She saw him standing in a ride line; (2) while in college, a h.s. friend of my sister's was in London with a friend who had won the trip from MTV, and they were lost just outside of the central district, when out of the blue she hears, "Liz? Liz Dillon?!" Turns out a h.s. classmate was in London on a work visa.

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

Caffienated Soap:

Engraved with a glorious "C" for Caffeine, scented with peppermint oil and infused with caffeine anhydrous, each caffeine soap bar contains approximately 15 servings per bar with 250 milligrams of caffeine per serving. No, we're not kidding and no you don't eat it. The caffeinated soap is absorbed through the skin

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

On a bus in London I sat across from the sister of a girl I went to high school in Jamaica with. Surreal.

While buying candy at the Orlando airport during an extended stopover the chick behind the cash register informed me she'd been the year ahead of me at the same high school in Jamaica. We get around, and then some.

Best of all was the time my mother had a chance to give a member of our family an earned frosty reception when the cousin walked into the same restaurant my mother was dining at during her vacation to New York.

What is even happening?

Am I correct in remembering there was a theory at one point, that topical caffeine application could reduce the appearance of cellulite, or was it all just a dream?

HOW does he not see the problems inherent in this?

It's just kind of mindboggling, isn't it?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We get around, and then some.

Which reminds me - met a guy from Jamaica who now lives in my nabe and is a software developer. V. odd.

The caffeinated soap is absorbed through the skin

Mmmmm. Alas, the site says it's out of stock. I wonder why they went with peppermint instead of making it coffee scented?
