A Houston parent wants to ban the book Fahrenheit 451, even though he admits he never read it.
Now that is just hilarious. Something worthy of a Daily Show segment.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I do like track changes, though earlier this week I had to use it to demonstrate the result of multiple rounds of accepted changes on the original document.

Art Crawl!!!
Right? It's not like Avada Kedavra actually works, y'know.
Well, you have to really mean it to get any of the unforgivables to work
If we only had a decent WAND shop in town -- then you'd see something.

Track Changes confuses the hell out of me and I want to cry
Track Changes lives to make people upset, and I say this as someone who uses Track Changes every day at work.

Wands with big sparkly stars on the top don't seem to work with any of the Unforgivables. Not that I've tried or anything ...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Scepters don't work, either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is why we laugh to keep from crying.
I love Track Changes, but Allyson, you could print out the version with the tracked changes, comments, etc., and then type on your own copy to make the changes you want to. It would be like getting a marked up version in the mail.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
See, I don't think it's children we need to worry about being corrupted by the HP books...

No shit.

OK, I told my friend I was 99% sure, but give me the overnight. She said that was fine, considering she really ought to check with her husband first since she'd be leaving him alone with the two kids!
Cracks me up.

What? I'd been trying to cast hexes on people that annoy me long before I read the HP books.
