Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All I wanted was some stupid calorie-free tv and what do I get? Stupid Orioles game.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Last day at JPL. Well, that was five years. Almost six.

I got taken to lunch by all my guys, a big pot of tulips from my Russians, a beautiful card and Starbucks card from one of the supervisors, a quill pen, and my fave aspergery guy grabbed my shoulders and hummed a few bars of She's Leaving Home before getting shaky and running away.

That's so sweet, Allyson. Especially the last.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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

Oh, I am very charmed by it all, but especially Asperguy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, I am very charmed by it all, but especially Asperguy.

What she said.

I hope your new job is wonderful

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, I am very charmed by it all, but especially Asperguy.

This. How very sweet they are!

I have 2/4 classes graded. It's taken me 5 hours to grade those 2 classes. And, I only had 1 assignment/class to grade and then compile a quarter subtotal. Yikes. Of course, those assignments were essays, so it's not as bad, right? Right?
