It was complete structural failure. Scissors eventually came into play. As did new containers. It only happens when you are hungry, I swear.

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

Is it just me, or have multiple airports recruited retired TV news people to record airport announcements?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know about that, but I was just thinking about the awesome HSBC ads in jetways -- two pictures, twice each, with opposite words over each. If that makes sense. Here: [link] I don't know why they don't just have the whole ad on the site, but whatevs.

So I was trying to find my seat on the plane, and I can't figure out where the seat #s are. Finally I discover I'm too tall tos ee them without bending over.

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

The knowledge that Joe and Aimée are in Michigan feels weird. I hope the best transition possible for you guys.

Tired as hell. Taught two intense classes with a lot of screaming. Uh, on my part. And they loved it! Did a killer kettlebell workout while protecting my shoulders. I think that makes it harder. Am dead, but must ice forthwith. Luckily I have a crapload of TV to doze off in front of. Ah, TiVo. I love ya.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Musical fans, help me out!

What do you call a song in a musical that's just there to serve the libretto? Kind of an exposition song? The kind of songs which are never the break out pop hits. Is that called a "book song"? Or something else?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Does the Hivemind know where I can order cheap votive holders for a wedding? I need about 100.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hec, "book song" works for me but I can't find anything to back that up.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Dammit, if I can't get it from the theater professional on tap...
