I love the guys who panhandle at the ATM.
Plus that's just plain scary.
Anyway, for some reason Minneapolis was the worst. That's where most of my death-threats-from-panhandlers were received.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The car culture of LA means I get panhandled less often. Mostly it's guys with signs at major intersections. There was one that flipped his "Hungry, please help me" over to "Hi, pretty lady" every now and again. Which made me smile, since I was far away, and in control of a large hunk of metal.

I do get asked to sign things a lot when I go grocery shopping. I wonder often what their mental response to "No" is. Today I took the time to explain I wasn't a voter, and he said "Well, you can't sign then!" like I was going to bumrush his petition. Dude, I'm telling you why I'm not signing.

When the petition people come to me with their causes, I'm often tempted to say, "Sorry, I believe in supporting evil."

You have to watch the video for the Oozinator (by Hasbro). Someone must have thought it looked dicey.

Cool science geek thing of the day: Today is the 1000th anniversary of the Supernova of 1006. Someone photoshopped what it might have looked like.

Okay, it's not over yet -- there's still time for somebody to realize that Daddy Winchester took the breath mask thingy off.
