My VERY VERY the MOST Chatty furnace salesman who was at my house yesterday said I reminded him of the girl who had been the subject of a What Not to Wear that aired this past Friday. I was like "Uh I hope you mean the After!" but he didn't answer me because he was chatting about something else.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great. My mother left a message saying distractedly "Call me at the hotel...no, wait, I'll call you back later."
I'm 99% sure there's nothing bad to tell me, just because of how my family communicates. If it were bad news she'd sound chipper or something suitably whiplashy.
Meanwhile, I lie here wishing someone would magic me fresh lemonade. They can even use the lemons and water and sugar I already have here. Just has to be zero effort on my part.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey ita (and others) - ever heard of a restraint technique called the "grape vine"?
Scroll down a bit to get to the appropriate video.
Lock Someone To A Tree Without Ropes, Chains, Or Any Other Ties
Don't be malicious....A restraint technique used by special forces, the "grape vine" is being demonstrated here for information purposes only. Do not try this unless under the supervision of a qualified person.
Basically, you wrap the victim's legs around a thin tree or poll in a certain way and then use the victim's body weight to lock the legs in that position.

Using some zinc powder, an instant cold compress and some salt, you can make a chemical that violently bursts into flame when it is exposed to even a few drops of water.

I saw that ad -- it's funny. (Where he's using the custodian as his "team", right?)
