Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

In reverse news, we learned this morning that Casper head-butted another child at her school earlier this week. While wearing a pink dress and sparkly shoes, to boot.

(I gather there was no serious injury, so I hope not in the same range of badness as the mac case; also, she's only four, but still. Impulse control, o daughter!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! I could give her a devil bunny, the disco ball, and some Double Bubble...

What should you do when confronted with a gun-wielding madman?

Hope like hell I'm standing behind ita.

Devil bunny is perfect!

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

No drugs yet. But they did extract non-negligible amounts of cerebrospinal fluid. So I basically am short a day's worth of food and brain juice on top of that.

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

I'm leaving work, soon.

Can I bring you food, or are they going to feed you?

And can you even eat?
