hip deep in pie

I think, in honour of American Thanksgiving, I may attempt to cook a turkey breast tomorrow. Or maybe just a roast chicken.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

And then you have to dip a blanket in ebola and give it to a neighbor and then steal his land while bleeds from his eyeballs.

It's tradition!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's a ritual sacrifice! With pie!

The potent combination of thanks, turkey and guilt followed by pie.

Hey it was smallpox! Let's not be melodramatic.

I guess I have to make pie too! Wait, this is going to be a lot of work considering I don't have the day off.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

wow that art work is amazing. that doesn't look like any game I've ever seen.

I have no idea how smart I am . I thought of myself as average in school, but I hung out with smart kids. It wasn't until I really worked for awhile that I knew I was smarter than average. The difficulty that so many people had with routine procedures. Right now , sweet potatoes are roasting in the oven for the soup.

Yesterday was an interesting day at work - turns out one of my co-workers is a paid blogger for DR. Who. We talked fandom. She hasn't read Allyson's book yet, but she did know if it.

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'm going to be without internet access for at least two days.

I have an idea. Everyone take all the posts that you would have made over the next two days and make them now, along with an indication of when they would have been posted. Then I and others who are leaving can threadsuck and thus stay caught up in the thread.

I suspect there may be a flaw in this plan, but I'm intentionally ignoring that suspicion....

Yeah, if I post about stuff that hasn't happened yet, there could be a time paradox. I'm going to have to play it safe.

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

I just had a turkey lunch, so that can function as a Thursday post, since I have no plans for turkey tomorrow.

Does that help?
