Frank! Why you gotta harsh my buzz so fast? Let a girl dream, willya?
Shrift, I bet your phone does. Get on down there.

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

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Into the corner with Frank!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No reason to share it other than pure geekiness.
It's the kind of geekiness I can support.
(am having difficulty coming up with kinds of geekiness I can't support)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is it possible to be a creationist, or a fixed-earth geek?

I would say not.
(Dunno why. I just do.)
eta: Maybe it's because geekiness typically involve those things known as "facts."

Poor Ethelred. He was really called Ethelred the Unraed, which means uncounseled or possibly badly counseled.
(There's no geek like a geek who took two semesters of Old English.)

Shrift, I bet your phone does. Get on down there.
I am so tempted to crawl under my desk and nap, ita. If I had a job where I actually needed to Get Shit Done, I would so do that right now.
If I can just power through the next four hours somehow, I'm going to bed when I get home, and I'll be setting the alarm for tomorrow.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
In this situation, the foodstuff has the Norman name, and the animal the Anglo-Saxon name
I was thinking of the cheerful multiplicity of "I made something else out of ___" names, too -- steak and ribs and bacon and ham and hamburger and chops and sausages and all. Actually, those words are probably just an acknowledgement that cattle and pigs are gigantic animals, aren't they?
Because I sure wouldn't want to order pork and get pork knuckles, not if I had been expecting a ham sandwich.
