Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

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 often go back and read something I read, and don't remember writing it.

I think maybe I'm a cheap literary Sybil.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmmm, does have a Steph like quality but no.

Allyson, that was a good one and you might want to sneak it into your final draft. Maybe as random back cover copy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Allyson:writing as ita:bruises.

Sounds like a description of performance art.

I meant to write wrote.

I think.

ita, if you dont go to Krav, the flowers will surely be dead. THEY NEED WATER.

Maybe your thirst is being caused by the angry flowers, who want you to feel their pain.

C'mon folks, it's got animal behavior in it!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I doubt you're doing doubles, but I guess shrift on the spam.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aimee is right. Billytea.

I'm not doing doubles, yet, bon.

Here's a classic.

*************

I was in a Management Training Seminar yesterday. Subject, Leadership.
It was all about managers sometimes needing to be autocratic, and sometimes more democratic and take staff viewpoints into consideration more.

"Name anyone who you admire as a leader" says the trainer.

"Buffy The Vampire Slayer" I say (three out of five of us are Buffy fans in the room -- I love my workplace).

"O.K." says the trainer, going along with it. "What kind of leader is she, Autocratic or Democratic?"

"Well, most of the time, she's democratic, but there are principles she won't compromise and then she turns Autocratic and says 'this is the way it's going to be'"

"That's a good example yes. Having principles is important, for instance our editorial policies. But you shouldn't abruptly change from one style of management to another -- how does Buffy signal a change in management style?"

"Uh, she ... puts her hair in a ponytail..?"
