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

At least you're protecting future generations from the tool.

So far all I've accomplished today are lunch plans for Monday.

They didn't tell them where (or to who) they'd be serving...

Right, but they did say to be creative with the ingredients, or something like that didn't they? I thought Cliff's combo was way too traditional to deserve the win.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It happens on the internet. I've heard it is corrupting like that.
I thought the "corruption" referred to pr0n. Curses!

Right, they were supposed to invent a flavor. Chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers? Gee, where have I come across that before? Not to say that it doesn't sound good, but for a challenge like that, I'm not sure the HaHaKids! switcheroo was really fair.

I ate at a neighborhood Thai place hidden in a converted Victorian house in a residential district today. Very good noodles. Not so good having the manager threaten a waiter with firing in front of me—that sort of thing really needs to be conducted out of sight of the customers.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I need some Excel help.

I have a column in a survey where respondents should only be able to answer W, M, or Y. How can I make that happen?

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 the way I'd do it: Select the range where the user can enter answers, then go to Data / Validation, set Validation Criteria to Allow: List and then enter a range of three fields somewhere that have the W, M and Y in them.

eta: If you do it this way, you get a combobox arrow thingie (on the current cell) where the user can select one of the three values.

Thanks! That seems to work.

Dear Dude Who's Systematically Destroying My Will to Live,

I hope you're enjoying yourself, man. I really do. Because if you're not enjoying yourself, then this was all for naught. I don't think I can take that much vacuity so early in our professional relationship. If you're a Bastard Operator From Hell, I totally can deal! I've got a goat ready to sacrifice and everything.

Arson, murder charges filed in wildfire

Authorities on Thursday filed murder and arson charges carrying the death penalty against a man suspected of setting a Southern California wildfire last week that killed five firefighters.

Good. Bastard should rot.

eta: Ahem, if found guilty, the bastard should rot. Basically the person who started the fire should rot.

I've lived in a lot of areas where wildfires roam (including near this one) and the idea of firefighters killed? Makes me sad. The idea of them killed because of an arson fire? Makes me sick.
