Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That attic is totally happening, man!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Greg Brady's attic was way more groovy.

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

Did you get to meet him, ita?

Very casually, a few years ago. I was doing tech work in an office where he worked. It's weird, meeting people you had pre-pubescent crushes on. Especially when you're post-pubescent.

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

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

Okay, I thought the movie sucked too, but that's just a wee bit overboard.

I know, right? Can you sue a school for "showing a really fucking weird movie"?

And besides, I have this feeling that even if the pastor and wife had been pre-informed that the movie was going to be shown, they wouldn't have had a CLUE what it was.

Exactly why she shouldn't watch it. New things are scary.
