My most traumatic scone experience was when I was in New Zealand, and bit into a scone, and it had bits of ham in it.
I do love a ham and cheese scone. But if you're not expecting meat in your baked goods, that would be narsty.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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

This piece is called "Invincible" and depicts an army of Berts, ideal soldiers for the motherland, looking ahead, undaunted, unstoppable, and slightly grumpy.

Oh, god. Okay. For the next three hours or so, just imagine me whimpering and saying "ow" and "motherfucker" repeatedly.

I dropped my security badge and knelt down to pick it up while opening a door.
Opened the door into my knee. Hurt so bad that if I didn't have metaphorical balls of steel, I'd still be sitting in the elevator lobby, crying and moaning, "oooooooooooooh."
Somehow I managed to stand up and hobble inside the door, although I had to limp to the bathroom and sit down for about five minutes, because Jesus Christ.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
You know what's awesome?
Aleve.
I've had this back thing happenin' for the last week and a half or so. Sciatic nerve being ground to pulp, shooting pains down my left leg, blah blah blah.
Today I remembered we had a couple Aleve in the medicine stash. "What the hell," thought I. "I'll give anything a shot."
Dudes. DUDES. Pain drastically reduced and what pain there is is being taken care of by the "It's there, but I don't care" effect that I usually experience only with Vicodin or similar.
So, it's like Vicodin, but without the stoned.
I would happily do a commercial right now for this product.
"Aleve helped my back pain. I'm taking it right now And It's Fucking Great!!"
Narrator: "Aleve. It's Fucking Great. Pleasetakeresponsibly."

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
Hey, Allyson, I saw your book prominently displayed at Virgin Megastore today. Which ain't shabby several months after its publication, so maybe a surge in xmas/channukah sales.
That's awesome!
I think sales are still going pretty well, for a little book. Maybe I'll have a second printing. Maybe fluffy pink unicorns made of cotton candy will bring me a latte.
