Mostly I object to being run off the sidewalk by the lunch herd. It's like they're afraid they'll get picked off by a coyote if they fall too far behind.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel like I should say Chapatoulis right now, but I can't spell it, my head is trying to secede, and my boss is back from vacation and wants a chat.

Hmm, let's see if 8 years is long enough for me to get my almost native card...
Looks like!
The funny part of that is, I managed to worm my brain with the random intentional mispronounce of Steilacoom (Steely-a-coom) some ofus used to do, and had to look up the right one.
Even though I remain the only person ever pulled over in Steilacoom for going too slow. (It was once notorious for its speed traps.)

I keep trying to go to lunch alone, but my cubemate sees me leaving and gets up to go with me,
ugh. Tell her that you're going to run an errand, then come back with lunch. after a few times, she'll get the hint.

Thanks, Dana.
And my boss wasn't in his office, so all that remains is a mega-huge headache.
But I do have fancy cookies in that desk drawer...

I've driven through Steilacoom! (Even though I still pronounce it STEEL-a-coom.) My sister warned me about the speed traps. Pretty town.

I got pulled over once for driving too slow. Then they accused me of desecrating graves.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Illinois also has treats like Cairo (KAY-ro) and DeZ Plainz to trip up the unwary. Or edumacated.
Also, AY-thens (Athens) and San JOES (San Jose).
Our favorite was always the tourists trying to pronounce "Nenana" and "Tanana". Oh, and "Tlingit".
Oh, that's exciting, Gud! Yay preschool! I loved preschool.
