Dear Asshole Customer at Walgreens,
When trying to determine who's next in line, please give a person more than two seconds to get around a giant leaking display case in front of the registers before you spazz out, huff to the back of the line of one, and snap, "Fine, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU MAKE UP YOUR MINDS."
To which I responded with a stoner-lack-of-caffeine drawl, "Dude, way to be rude and impatient. Sorry for that thirty seconds of your life that you'll never get back."
Seriously, UNCLENCH,
shrift
Woooo nonfic's first COMM! Baby's growing up.
Victor: He's like the walking personification of asshole. If he were one of the Endless (Dream, Desire, Death, Destiny et al.) he'd be Dick.
COMMed from Literary Buffistas on account of my actually spitting on my monitor (in this case, partially chewed popcorn, not coffee.) Slightly edited for humor.
PC: ...I thought I mostly understood cyberpunk. Well, probably not, as I think it mostly involves computers and robots and a general punkish attitude. Whereas steampunk is more the same sensibility as cyberpunk, except the computers are made of string and toast.
I hope your monitor's okay, Laga. Sorry about that.
In fact I think masticated popcorn is easier to clean up than coffee. None of it got in the keyboard!
Plus the toast doesn't get so soggy.
That reminded me to put up the earlier Literary exchange that made me laugh out loud.
Hec:
9/11 in its planning, execution and politics seemed like it came straight out of a Bruce Sterling novel to me.
Raq:
I agree, and this is another reason why we should get those evil-doers. No one deserves Bruce Sterling! No one!

DavidS: People go batfuck insane during divorces and separations.
Daisy Jane: Apparently.
DavidS: The example I always remember from TT was the woman whose husband stomped out and took all the handles on the drawers in the kitchen.
Of course, there were other more horrible examples but that one always struck me for the craxy.
Daisy Jane: Well he did take her Jack Daniels and vibrator.
ETA: We're thinking of turning it into a country song.
