You're being exceedingly literal today!
Today?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have seen charity ebay auctions where people pay more than face value for a gift cert. But then, charity is not rational in the sense that rational is being used here.
Yeah, I wouldn't count a charity auction here because the goal in a charity auction isn't to purchase the item, it's to give lots of money.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Maybe it's just me, but it sounds like everyone is pretty much saying the same things and it's just a battle of semantics.
Oooh! Thread name for Natter 49!!!!!!

What is even happening?
I love when ita and Nutty get into big discussions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Today?
I was going to ask that question myself.
I know, you're the woman who held onto the "in a squash court" revelation till the last minute, so I should figure something may be lurking. But I just don't know what it is until it comes out.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The squash court was an iteration. Also known as, I revealed it as soon as I thunk it up.

My guess would be a cheetah.

Cheater (no pun intended or implied)! I still think your hindparts would be ripped off even with the squash court restriction, though. Maybe you should have iterated harder.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

CAMEL! It's a camel!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was rereading that Natter thread recently, in fact, and it's still funny. I started out trying to list animals that could kill you, and declared taht poison was cheating your way onto the list, and nobody argued with that!
Also, nobody had a problem with describing one general class as "pony-sized dogs".
The moral of the story is, enthusiastic exactitude, even in the fact of contradictory facts, wins the day! Right up until ita or an expert arrives on the scene.
