Punishingly Intricate

Also when Dawn returns to the party, kisses Tim, and leads him out by the hand. So effin sweet!

And at the very end when they are having the photo taken and he leans in and smells her hair? It's a tiny moment but so beautiful!

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

This photographer wanted a bunch of pictures of young children (2-3) crying. So what she'd do is give a lolipop to the child and then take it away, resulting in the crying. Some people are calling this "abusive."

Then there was a big internet kerfuffle....

I wonder if they heard how Lou Reed got kids to cry on his recording of Berlin.

I can't even.

Well, since he's dead it would be some sort of miracle (or many sorts), but I get your meaning.

Who knows what he kept in the fridge?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Praise be to the Mollymauk!

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

That kerfuffle is idiotic, and so is how all reported parties were behaving. It's only a freaking lollipop. If that traumatised a kid, s/he was already on the road to therapy.

My brother and sister went into a bible store on a lark and saw a t-shirt that said, "Hot girls don't come from monkeys."

Oh Lord, I must have that t-shirt. I'd be the funniest thing ever when I was excavating.

best line of that lollypop kerfuffle:

It's about a generation that's so caught up in itself that everything it says it thinks is significant, even though it's not saying anything at all.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Jars, this one is funny. I'm still looking for the other.
