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

Tommy, your one piece suit link goes back to LittleDog. Have our robotic overlords already gotten this far? Back in time???

I'm heartened to see that LittleDog doesn't have an onboard processor/power unit. Yet.

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

Oopsie. Fixed. ( [link] )

eta: Actually, I think the one-piece coat/vest looks good on the model. Who is a woman.

"They're all fronts anyway, so why bother putting fronts on them?"

Um, okay?

I'm guessing that's a misquote or typo or something. "Why bother putting backs on them?" makes more sense, I think.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Huh, apparently it's National Singles Week. Who knew? But, are these really the "The 10 Best Things About Being Single""? If so, I feel sorry for singles and marrieds alike.

1. You can make last-minute plans with your friends and stay out all night if you want.
2. You can lie on both sides of your bed and have all the covers to yourself.
3. You can flirt with the opposite sex without someone saying, "Who are you looking at?"
4. You can make your own decisions.
5. You don't have to remember your significant other's birthday or anniversary.
6. You have no one to clean up after.
7. You can leave the toilet seat permanently up if you're a man, or permanently down if you're a woman.
8. You can make a list of things you always wanted to do...and actually do them.
9. You can listen to your favorite radio station in the car.
10. You can actually hold on to the remote control.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If so, I feel sorry for singles and marrieds alike.

I have to agree there. What a miserable pinched life that implies for both sides.

4. You can make your own decisions.

Err.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

What kind of chocolate (oh, your poor sister-I hope to never learn that) did you use?

Sorry for the response delay - I had to run out to an appointment. The icing had 16 oz of bittersweet chocolate, plus a large quantity of cocoa (1/2 cup? 1 cup?). Also nearly a pound of butter. Did I mention the overwhelmingness?

I'm glad to hear your cake turned out well. We did wonder if we were testing the "let's see if it's possible to have too much chocolate" version of the recipe. About how thick was the icing on your cake? It was about 1 cm thick (1/2 cm in between the layers) on ours.

Err.

You know. If that means toilet seats and remotes to you.

I wept at this one:

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've never quite groked the toilet seat thing -- don't boys want it down half the time? If its half and half why the insistance on upness?
