No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

1 Memphis, TN $79,000 (Median home sale price 2006)

Cue bitter laughter on my part, as I'm being forced out of my home by prices more than twice that high. If only they were just asking 79 grand...

Hey--just watched the Sci Fi Channel's marathon of Kindred: The Embraced (I suppose it's possible that's what made me lose consciousness--C Thomas Howell was pretty appalling) and wondered--was it cancelled in its own right, or did it have to do with Mark Frankel's death?

I'm pretty sure it was cancelled in its own right and his motorcycle crash came afterwards.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Thanks for the thoughts for Teddy, all. I've found a list of hospitals that perform feline kidney transplants. If anyone has contacts at animal shelters in those areas, I'd bet most or all of those hospitals would appreciate new sources of donors.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Okay, they are already checking my references from the interview yesterday. It's all happening too fast. I need time to think. I hope the paperwork gets slowed up somewhere.

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

For the love of Pete. That's a lot of energy to put into reacting to a joke.

Well, what is?

Answer: Nothing!

Nothing is better than eternal happiness. But the FSM is better than nothing. Ergo, FSM is better than eternal happiness.
