Hee. You left off the disclaimer at the end.
Yeah. I wasn't sure how to get the asterisk to stay an asterisk instead of turning to a bullet point. And my brain didn't feel like making the effort to figure it out.

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
tommy, just put a space at the start of the line, and then the asterisk.

Heh. I knew it would be something incredibly simple.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
...what kind of person thinks that it's okay to use "lol" in an e-mail in a professional context? Is it the kind of person I can kill?
This may not come as any surprise, but but my boss is that kind of person.

Punishingly Intricate
So much of the communication with toddlers (not to mention babies) is in the shared physical presence.
This is exactly it.
almost toddlers!

Maybe not the best headline evah! but it's gotta be the best headline of the week:
Knoxville, Kimmel Sued Over Genitals-In-Mousetrap Stunt Gone Wrong
An actor is suing "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville, TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and radio personality Adam Carolla, claiming he was never paid $10 million for doing a below-the-belt stunt that left him severely injured.
Perry Caravello claims Kimmel never paid him for his work in the 2003 TV movie "Windy City Heat." According to the suit, Knoxville also promised to pay him to promote the DVD release of the film on Carolla's show last fall if he agreed to place his genitals in a mousetrap.
"Plaintiff agreed to do so, and, much to his emotional tranquility and to his physical harm, was severely injured when the trap literally went on his manhood," the suit contended.
Caravello also was humiliated when clips of the incident, which he says were filmed without his permission, made it to the Internet, his suit claims.
The thought of that injury is not causing me to cringe - apparently it's too stupid an injury to provoke that response in me.
eta: I figure since this involves male genitals, it won't give ita nightmares....

I'm so sorry, Jesse. It didn't realize it was that bad.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Filmed without his permission? What do you suppose he thought all those cameras were? Or what the point of the whole thing was in the first place.
(And how sad is it that I find that the least credible part of the whole thing?)
