I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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

Someone made a list of every single BBC story on hamsters over the last ten or so years. There's quite a lot: [link]

This is the best headline: "Fat Hamster Cheats Vacuum Death." Most are just odd: "Bus company apologizes for charging hamster 10p for ride; issues lifetime bus pass." "New hamster escapes in car, runs up £370 repair bill by gnawing ignition cables."

eta: This is good too: "Apparently deceased hamster revives; gnaws hole in coffin, tunnels out of grave, and finds its way home."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ooh! That would rock. And if your cell # hasn't changed, I still have it programmed in my phone.

It's still the same.

Hooray, Miriam. If we can get a rough count, I'll try to call in a reservation tomorrow.

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

Your Friday panda.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I want to go too!

But I can't. Phooey.
