Damnit, tommyrot, I was hoping you'd come in and say it was expected behaviour under the circs and no permanent damage was done.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry, I don't know much about manual clutch problems and repair....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Please, nobody tell my dog that [link] is a possible mode of transportation. He would get ideas.

Hrm, I seem to remember that solution working out poorly for a coworker, long ago... like, after they got the door open, they couldn't get it shut again. Give a quick google first... or if you've done it before with sucess, just disregard!

I love that picture. Maybe the trainer was a shepherd in another life.

Our wings are not tired.
That was a great picture. Doggies!
I've had clutches go before, but there was no smell or other warning signs. Just here one moment, gone the next.

We have snow, but they don't expect it to stick. News last night was all about the killer peanut butter (Noooooooooo!!!) and why bosses are cracking down on iPod use at work (because they're mean).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think they were going by the Quiznos' school of "It's worth pissing people off if we can get our ad stuck in their heads."
But, see, I associate their product with the pain of a headache, not the relief. Stuck in my head, yes, but making it hurt while it's there.

I asked my boss about the clutch thing (he's a total car expert who collects old British cars). He says that a clutch is like a car's brakes - it will eventually wear out (but it is possible for a clutch to last the life of the car). The fact that you smelled the clutch means that it was subject to excessive wear. Now it could be that the clutch was in good shape before, and now it is further down the path to being worn out but still has significant life left, or it could be the clutch was close to being worn out before and now it's at death's door.
So, it depends.
