We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

In news of me, they're drilling holes in my precious walls. But soon I will have the teevee, so it's a good thing.

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

I got up early so I could go get steak and eggs before breakfast. Nummy. But I'm hungry again.

Once it gets cooler I'll probably switch back to making oatmeal at home.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Okay, even if I had ever taught in a place that had someone who did this for me, I can't imagine ever asking them to do my own d*mn work!

I work at a school of nursing, and for accreditation purposes our syllabi have to conform to exact standards, which are published in the faculty handbook. I have one teacher who I can't even get to tell me how much she is counting each assignment (something that must be in the syllabus). Every time I ask her, she keeps sending me copies of the assignments! All I want to know is how much weight she is giving each one... is that too much to ask.

Ah well, off to blackboard!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Question for Research Studs:

I'm going to have endnotes in my book. What's the preferred citation style? This is not an academic text, but I should be consistent.

We have no hot water down here. Nor a microwave. And our refrigerator is currently in a box, disguised from building management while they sweep the entire skyscraper for rogue electronics.

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

Cool bear rescue.

Our last apartment manager quit before they hired a new one. I'm not sure what to do with my October rent check.

Oh yes, I forgot you work in a cave. Maybe you can rub some sticks together, or use some flint to strike sparks?

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

What's the preferred citation style?

The real answer is "whatever the publisher asks for". But without any specific instructions, Chicago is probably a safe bet -- it's not tied to any specific academic discipline, and it tends to be more human-readable for lay audiences than some of the others.

This. Feel free to ask them to send the in-house style sheet as that will save everyone time.
