Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Something tells me there were whole aspects of Viking culture that were ignored by Hagar the Horrible

There is much wisdom in Hagar's Guide to Being a Viking (a real book which we own), such as "Never steal anything that needs to be walked, watered, or cleaned up after."

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

Maybe the drinking horns are inserted into Valkyrie cleavage.

Great. Now I want to be a Valkyrie next year for Halloween. I hate late October/early November. Filled with fruitless costume ideas.

Boss just came by to ask me a bunch of questions about stuff. Not only did I not have to hide a browser window, I could answer everything intelligently. I feel this means I should go home now, on this high point.

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

"Never steal anything that needs to be walked, watered, or cleaned up after."

So cats are cool then? (It's cool to be a cat?)

I guess if you don't let your cats have water you don't have to worry about cleaning their poop for very long.

"To water" implies some regular action on your part. Making sure there's water around, should kitty want to drink some, does not imply action, or maybe occasional action. At least that's how I rationalize it.

Horses are to be kept fed and watered...that's kinda how I was reading it.

The Talmudic debates that could break out at every theft opportunity amuse me. "No, no, it can get its own water, we can steal it." "No, we have to clean up after it, we can't steal it." "Well, what does it really mean, to clean up after?"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Actually, I say that I'm watering (and foddering) the cats all the time. But then they often sound like a small herd of cattle, hence my confusion.

ita - a last minute thought. If you added a lock to your costume, instead of being a can-can girl, you would be a won't won't girl.
