Boy, are you in the wrong place.
Now I'm earwormed with the Spam song....
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Bryce Dallas Howard is really beautiful. Why am I watching The View? I really dislike all of the women on this show. Even Baba Wawa a little bit.
Cephalopods and freaky fish and two-faced kittens. Strange Friday morning fare, indeed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had a nice half-hour long chat with a coworker. Now I guess I'll write that half-page I've been supposed to write ALL FREAKING WEEK.
I also had it confirmed for me that it is not my paranoia that makes me think another coworker doesn't like me. Not that's it's personal to me; she's apparently horrible in general.

I dislike Baba Wawa a lot, but that's the lactivist in me talking.
I wouldn't have guessed this, nor have I heard anyone theorize that we unintentionally dramatize descriptions like that.
I've noticed it a lot recently, but I suspect I'm only noticing on account of reading children's books over and over and over and over and over and it bleeding into my everyday speech. (So, take the usual dramatized descriptions and bump them to 11.)

Tommyrot, i just sent that to all my (drug company) coworkers. That's SO WRONG. Did the US PAY MONEY for that???

I don't want to add natter to Bureau, so here's the link to the Wikipedia article on Otherkin: [link] (In a nutshell, "Otherkin is a subculture made up of people who describe themselves as being non-human or having a connection to a mythical archetype in some way, usually believing themselves to be mythological or legendary creatures.")
It's really... interesting. Also, I love this term:
Another example of a belief often met with skepticism by the otherkin subculture according to otherkin.net is those claiming to have been royalty in other lives, which is sometimes referred to as "elven princess syndrome".
Can I call in sick with elven princess syndrome?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Things in The Great Green Room
A telephone, a red balloon. A picture of the cow jumping over the moon. Three little bears sitting on chairs. Two kittens, a pair of mittens. A toy house and a young mouse. A comb, a brush, a bowl full of mush. A quiet old lady who whispers hush. Clocks and socks.
Note: This was done from memory. At my desk at work. I could type the whole damn book out, but I figured this showed my craxy enough.

It sounds like one FDA employee just decided to write it (at the urging of another FDA employee). Dunno if he wrote it on "company time."
eta: But it is on the FDA website, so they had to spend a little time putting it up, as well as the cost of hosting it....
