Great story, Hil. Good old Zeno. Seeing that lightbulb go off is so damn cool.

Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I just found out that a co-worker's religion bars the celebration of holidays, and thus they co-worker is offended when birthday celebrations are discussed/planned at work.
I don't know if this is any help at this point, but it turns out this is also an issue for Bahais. I just discovered this recently, and was quite surprised.

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

Is it an active bar, then? I mean, like Judaism bars consumption of pork, as opposed to not observing Christmas.
Does that make sense? Either way, I can't imagine being offended (bored and irritable, perhaps) about the discussion of other people celebrating things I don't. Unless my code had elevated it to offensive...which'd be a whole 'nother ball of wax.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think it is an active bar with Jehovah's Witnesses.
I can't see someone getting their panties in a twist over people talking about celebrating their birthdays unless they're jealous. Or unless they're just self-righteous. In which case, MORE CAKE FOR ME!

Bunnycat. He was being affectionate and cute, but I had to move to get the camera, and poof!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
billytea? Anybody? What kind of monkey is this: [link]
Do you mean the one behind the glass, or the one hitching a ride?
I reckon it's a woolly monkey from what I can make out. Definitely a New World monkey.
