I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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

Why am I picturing some monster device that takes a Polaroid picture of each frame?

Hmmm... an hour's worth of TV would be 108000 pictures....

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

I miss Polaroids.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Polaroid has a new "instant digital" camera out, FYI... [link]

Getting rid of the old-school cameras seems like a mistake -- they were just becoming the new hot retro thing!

I wonder if someone will come out with a case for the digital Polaroid cameras that look like the old ones. (Wasn't there an iPod case that looked like an original Walkman?)
