"Here come da judge" is from Laugh-In as well, no?
You bet your bippy.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

I know we linked to Nora-the-piano-playing-cat a while back, but here's Google video of a kitten playing with a very expensive cat toy:

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Drat, bon.
It is kind of amazing how much influence Laugh-In has had.
Good god! My family is modeled on meerkats!
Ha! I mean, aw.
I am having a surprisingly good and productive day. It's the combination of deadlines approaching faster than I expected (forgot I'm out of the office tomorrow), and my boss being out sick.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Go ahead, try Westlaw... works there, too!
Yay!

It's kind of a wakeup call to realize that there is enough demand for laundresses that you can find one with that specific experience and excellent references.
OTOH, a really rich and fairly powerful man was just randomly in my office, and I bet his family has a laundress!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just can't imagine enough clothes so that the laundress would be properly occupied.
Speaking of clothes, just bought a couple things from Ann Taylor Loft. Still don't have much that fits. But I will prevail, non-nakedly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats Billytea and Biyi!
