Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I have friends who did name their cat Hatshepsut and call her Hattie.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

So now that I've completely failed to give useful grammar advice, I need job-hunting help. I've been doing contract work lately, but have a potential in at a mondo big law firm. Of course, they have a correspondingly big employment application. As far as salary goes, should I put something down? Something that roughly corresponds to what I've been making contract-wise? Or should I stick to the principle of making them name a number first?

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?

This.

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

Joke, right? The site has a weird feel. So spare.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

So where the application has a box for salary, do I put "negotiable"? "dependent on benefits"?

Can you leave it blank?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was seriously thinking about naming my cat Hatshepsut
