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.

You need a butler-bot.

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.

only in the sense that it hasn't been emailing me comments properly in days.

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.

Just saw ads for Bones and House! Whoo Hoo! The long summer doldrums are nearly over! And House is without a team!

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

I have a vision now of a clumsy stripper getting caught in the grapevine. Escape #2 would be very unlikely in that case.
Still no lemonade! I may be forced into manual labour.
I'll probably just eat the leftovers from my fruit salad making yesterday. Grapes and berries for miles because I can't visualise a pint or a quart.
Well, I can now that I remember how many cups are in either.
Strangely, one of the recipes specified 1 quart of strawberries and 9 ounces of grapes. The mixing v. confusing.
I have a lot of grapes left over.
