Trudy Booth:
It's part of why the Inca never made much use of the wheel (despite what I'd been taught, they DID have them pre-columbus -- but it was easier to pack llamas than haul carts around.)
billytea:
I heard they used wheels primarily on kids' toys. I like the idea of kids complaining that all they had were these stoopid wheels, and when were they going to be allowed to borrow the llama for the weekend?
tommyrot:
Boys just wanna borrow the llama so they can take girls out on dates. Which of course leads to the parking and the making out on the llama.
Then there's the tragic alcohol-related llama accidents....
billytea:
Well, yeah. At least parents these days don't have to worry that their teenager might get the car drunk.
tommyrot:
Yeah. What happens is the teenagers get drunk and start to make out on the llama, then the llama finishes the booze.
Jilli VoiceOfReason: Today's edition of I Don't Understand Other People's Clothing Choices: I just passed a woman wearing 4" stilletto-heeled, peep-toe, sling-back shoes; black baggy capris; a hip-length fuchsia sequined tank top; and a shrunken black denim jacket. With kinda frizzy, "my blow-out has given up", overly-bleached hair and peach lipgloss.
Daisy Jane: We're sorry Jilli. She escaped Dallas. You can just send her on back down here. She's probably lost, poor thing.

Oh, and going the wrong way on a one-way street. Fairly sure that there's something Hogwartsy about Boston's streets.
victor infante:
I quite agree. I think what Boston really needs is a Rotary of Requirement, that takes you to exactly the street you need.
Could you fix my Hogwarts typo in that COMM, Kate? Thanks!
In Bitches:
MM: She also answers yes when I ask if her ears hurt, but she answers yes if I ask if her nose is falling off.
Trudy Booth: Joseph, what did you do to the baby?
JZ:
And congratulations on the good interview, MM. I'll be vibing "Clearly that handsome fella in the stripey tights is our only rational choice"~ma in the direction of Michigan.
Miracleman:
Oh. Should I have worn the tights?
And should I have been handsome?
JZ:
For God's sake, at least tell us you wore the candy bra.
Miracleman:
I thought about it, but it ruined the line of my dress.
Er...suit.
tommyrot:
Interviewer: Is there anything else that you can offer this company?
MM: You know... [unbuttons shirt] I do have too much candy....
Miracleman:
...and then they leapt to their feet and proclaimed me their king.

I can't help thinking: ita + pole dancing = bruises! bruises in new places!
Could you fix my Hogwarts typo in that COMM, Kate? Thanks!
Done, Kristin! (Sorry, I meant to fix it when I posted it, but I forgot.)

The fact that the Sorting is so important for me to figure out tells me that I am in the right profession.
