I killed the thread. Probably should get back to work.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I find it a problem (project management killed my involvement in the thread, and I need to get back to work in a sec) not because folks shouldn't be held accountable for Abu Ghraib, but just because it's like a world police force, but not in a good way.
Of course I dream that US violators will be tried properly in the US, but there you go.
eta: No, I don't mean good. I mean fair, and it's ripe for bullying.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Couple finds dead woman's body during Janesville home tour
JANESVILLE, Wis. -- A real estate agent will likely do a house check before bringing in prospective customers after one couple happened upon a homeowner in bed -- dead.
Linda Chabucos-Galow, a real estate agent with Shorewest, stood in the dining room while Justin and Colleen McKeen walked through a house Monday night.
Before long, she heard Colleen scream.
"I thought, 'What's wrong?' Maybe it was a dead mouse or something," Chabucos-Galow said.
But then she peered into the bedroom and saw the body of Linda L. O'Leary, 55, the owner of the home. She had been dead for about two weeks, officials said.
...
Chabucos-Galow said she set up the showing without knowing the homeowner's identity.
After entering the home, she noticed a faint odor but thought it was from the mess in the house or the countertop full of dishes. She saw unopened mail.
"I've smelled death. I know what death smells like," she said. "I can't believe my sinuses were that bad."

I swear that the guy in the cubicle next to mine is announcing himself on the phone as "Tiny."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just gave my Big Boss multiple things with obvious errors.
AWESOME.
I really should just go home.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Why is the gay always gone?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
No worries, shrift can always make write more.
