Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In news about me, I'm still not feeling great, and now I've eaten an entire sleeve of saltines. What should I do for lunch?

And here's a table that gives you the current equivalent for pre-1996 SAT scores. (My math score went down! No fair.)
I'm more depressed by the 50 point upward curve my verbal score translates to than the 10 point drop in math. Yeah, it was hard to score that high and only one other student in my graduating class did so, but we did actually make mistakes and earn the less-than-perfect score. How low are they going to adjust the bar?

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

I had that too. Good times. I feel like I should point out that I'm neither pregnant nor hung over, because this is so unlike me. I was thinking about a turkey sandwich, but I've basically already had a meal's worth of cracker calories, which confuses me now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've typed ,,, instead of proper ellipses before, but I always at least try to correct it before posting/sending! It's an understandable typo, but it looks wrong enough that I can't imagine not catching it.

Silly robot; everyone knows we taste like chicken.

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 is cool. New Futaba "hobby" robot - only about $1200 in the US. Scroll down and watch the video - the thing is amazing. It can do handstands. It picks itself up when it falls. And it's damn fast.
(By "hobby" I mean it's intended to be programmed and customized by the owner.)
Oh, and they have competitions where bipedal robots like this play soccer....

I shit you not -- he uses commas instead of periods to make the ellipses.
Are these ellipses that are even more vague than the normal trailing ellipses?
