Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See, that's what I was thinking! It's a cross-cultural value! I bet this is going to be like when I get the Bangladeshi snack mix -- the person behind the counter always cracks up that I'm buying it. Dude, it's teh yum.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Nothing is more fun than training toddlers to do funny things.

He's at the parrot stage where he'll repeat virtually anything I say. Makes life interesting.

Is it weird if I get one? I don't know what's inside, but hey -- five bucks!

Ifar is the feast at the end of the day of fasting, so it's probably food related.

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

tommyrot, shrift and Kathy A.: Y'all meeting us for breakfast with vw on Saturday?

Yep.

Can you email me the details? I used to use my iBook for the mail acct. that the Midwest mailing list sends to, but it died....

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Can you email me the details?

Sure. And done.

See? This is why I brought it up in Natter. I figured there were a couple of you who weren't on the Midwest mailing list!

I really should get off my lazy ass and set up that mail acct. on another computer. I bet I also missed the Midwest Mailing List Free Pony Giveaway too, huh?

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

I have an e-mail asking me to help get something done, but I have to chase the requester down to find out what the freaking something is.

I have another that has a mangled English sentence that contradicts itself, and when I go over to ask for clarification, he looks at me like I'm stupid.

And it takes my mail client three minutes to recover from me sending mail.

This means I can go home, right?
