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

Do you have a wired phone or just a cordless?

Both.

Why bother voting? We're at or near the Hubbert Peak, and it's all rapidly downhill from here as we lose our cheap energy sources.

It's possible I shouldn't see documentaries recommended by vegans. Though the filmmaker himself was cool.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a feeling the lines in my district will be pretty short all day, since we essentially had our election back in September. (There being approximately three Republicans in the entire borough.) I don't even know if there are any questions or propositions on the ballot this year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm going to vote before work, and just be late, since I might have plans tomorrow that keep me out too late to vote after.

Of course, now I'm going to be sorely disappointed when the voting machine doesn't make the Law and Order "chunk chunk" noise.

Dude, I'll bet that would get people faster to the polls than Arizona's million dollars. (Go erika, choose erika!)

I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to vote before or after work. Considering my relationship with early mornings, I think after work is going to win by default.

I can't bear to take that chance, waiting all day for whatever crisis would keep me stuck at work and out of my voting district.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Since you're discussing voting machines, have folks here read Black Box Voting? It's certainly interesting research, especially the section on how the Diebold machines create a secondary copy of the voting data in order to tally votes.

Huh. Ocean Spray is setting up a cranberry bog outside my building this week.

Huh.

A cranberry bog? C'est quoi ca?

Always Anti-fascist!

ME: That is so a shout-out!

Of course I'm a freak and miss the productive typewriter clack, too.they should make that an option, on word processors.

See, there's next to no chance that there will be a crisis keeping me at the office past 4:30pm, whereas it's highly likely I'll hit snooze a whole bunch tomorrow morning.

We had some of that here last week.
