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

Functionality counts as a magical power, right?

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

Yeah. Also, not killing people.

Acaffeinism, Sean? Acaffeinism?

I do not disbelieve that caffeine confers magic powers, I'm just saying we can't ever know the truth one way or the other....

Dude, come to the F2F and try to talk to me first thing in the morning. That'll be your proof.

We've secretly switched Jess' coffee with pixie dust. Let's see if she notices.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Well, Mocha's law does state that: "Any sufficiently strong coffee is indistinguishable from magic".

What is even happening?

Tom is a true believer.

Sean may not be going to hell, but without caffeine, how could he tell?

No, no, we need to boycott pixie dust. Everybody knows that it is made by catching, plucking the wings off of, freeze-drying, and grinding up pixies. All this intensive labor is performed by exploiting non-unionized elf labor. Not to mention the environmental consequence of dumping all of those toxic pixie wings.

If only we had listened when the talking psychic parrots tried to warn us....

Or we should have called the psychic parrot hotline.
