I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Damn! I saw Nutty on the subway this morning and I didn't remember to mention the mountain lion incident to her!

FWIW, I've often pointed out the idiocy of security regulations that forbid teensy nailclippers but let you bring pens and pencils onboard, becuase you can much more easily kill somebody with those things.

What is even happening?

Lots of house~ma to you, Sue. You posted pictures of one, a while back. Is that the one you're going for?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

You know I am, Tom.

A lot of things have converted to Metric, but some things stick with imperial.

When I was in Britain in 2004, I bought a length of ribbon at a fabric store, and I was like, "Can I have about half a yard? Oh, I mean half a meter." And the woman said, "Oh that's all right, dear. None of my regular customers can sew in meters either." She showed me how her ruler was technically a metric ruler, and she was supposed to measure off the saleable amount in metric, but the inches side was the side with the wear-marks. I can see as how traditional things like eyeballing distances and sewing and baking would be slow to convert over.

"So I got the pen and tried to put it in his eye, but it didn't want to go in as easy as I thought it would."

This is oddly cool and very squicky. Also the fact that she could hear her husband talking to her throughout.

Sue, wishing best thoughts for you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Verra cute place, Sue! Housema to you!

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

I told this story before, but once I was pinned to the ground by a heifer that was trying to gore me. Jabbing my fingers in its eyes was the only thing that let me get away.
