'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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

In Natter, responding to the news that Wesley Snipes had turned himself in on charges of conspiracy to defraud the IRS and submitting false estimated-tax payments worth $14 million:

AmyLiz: I don't think he can method-act his way out of that.

Aimée: I don't think so, too. It's much bigger than a paper bag, and he's STILL working on that.

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

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

Cass: A squirrel (or was it a chipmunk, I need to image Google me some critter) just spied on me peeing . Perv.

Tommyrot: It's OK, because it was a scientist squirrel, doing scientific research on human peeing habits.

Toddson (in Bitches): I have "the liver function of a 32-year-old". I'm assuming the doctor meant a healthy one, not someone who attended ND and Kristin's party.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

In Natter...

Hil R.: I kind of believed in the tooth fairy for the first few teeth I lost. Like, I knew that it was my parents (I'm a really light sleeper -- it was impossible for them to take the tooth and leave the money without me waking up a little) but I kind of willfully blocked that, because I liked the story. Then, when I was a little older (third or fourth grade) and I told my mother I didn't believe, she told me that the tooth fairy wouldn't leave money for kids who didn't believe. I said fine, and wrote a note to the tooth fairy saying that there was a recession going on, and money isn't worth what it used to be, and so I really should be getting much more than just a dollar, since a dollar was what I'd gotten three years ago.

I got $10.
