I can't remember ever having to discourage a woman who was interested in me. There were three or four guys, though....
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

You know those wooden doors where the top is made up of four panes? I once used a pliers to pry out the nails holding the baseboardy pieces in, scraped out some putty and used a suction cup to lift the windowpane out so I could reach in and unlock the door.
And then I put it all back together and you couldn't even tell!
Which is good because my landlady would have killed me if she knew since I was leaving town for good (for my current location, actually) that afternoon.
I might've looked like a robber, except I was barefoot and in my bathrobe. Thank god I'd packed my tools in the car already. (I had the car key...just not the house one.)
I'd have to call maintenance here. Steel door, exterior deadbolt, no good lockpicking skills. Or a ladder, if I'd left the balcony doors unlocked.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do you want me to detail how many times I had to break into my parents' house because I somehow locked myself out? I had to disassemble the back door to the porch no less than three separate times.I heading out to my mom's one weekend when she was in Australia, realized I forgot my key, broke in and then left her a note that her house was not really all that secure. We did make it less break-in-able before we left.
Oh, and I set off the alarm at my dad's house in Joshua Tree that we hadn't lived at in years. The sheriff was unamused. But small town, so he knew me at least.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I have picked Boots up at the vet and took her home. Unfortunately, the diuresis didn't bring her levels down at all. The vet says she's in end-stage kidney failure and gave me some meds to give her. She doesn't seem sick, and is being her usual pesky self, but I'll give her the meds and bring her back to the vet in 4-6 weeks. sigh...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cartoonists drawing blind. It's kinda creepy, the result. Except for Dick Tracy, and in a way...also creepy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
eta: Also, WTF is supposed to be going on in this picture?
I don't know why I'm answering, since it's not an interesting answer, but the lady is pissed because the porter prefers the gentleman with the single light suitcase.

Sheryl, good thoughts for Boots.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
