If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm gonna start a nonprofit organization called "Stupid People Suck Foundation" Then I'll issue press releases whenever someone does something excessively stupid.

Nah, you'll never make any money that way. What you need to to is call it something relentlessly positive, like "Nice People In Favor Of Hugs And Puppies," and then issue scathing attacks calling for apologies whenever anyone makes a public statement but fails to explicitly state their pro-hugs-and-puppies stance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bill Dohonue can suck it.

Last night, after many flights of stairs and a long night of packing ahead of me, I see an email asking about the attachments. I say "I gave you the attachments on Tuesday with the hard copy of the draft" His response "Are there attachments required? Call me"

Oh my god, I had no idea my boss had a male twin. I'm so sorry. I was just looking through old LJ posts, and I swear to god, except for the moving, I've posted this exact thing.

Best. Obiturary. Ever!

I linked to one of The Telegraph's earlier obits a few months ago, which is just as good: [link]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

What you need to to is call it something relentlessly positive, like "Nice People In Favor Of Hugs And Puppies,"

And then I will start up a competing organization called "Awesome People In Favor Of Smoochies And Kittens" and demand to know why you want the happycat to run out of happy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I believe Nora posted that obituary without considering the effect of said post on puppies. This offends me and all right-thinking bons.

Suck it, Lord Pratt!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How did Pratt die?

I think that was basically a cool obit, except scattered. I reel at the existence of Pratts and von Bismarcks. Incredibly alien. Alien like Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake. I understand you can't just sign up for the former, but they're both equally other to me.
