You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Jesse, that shirt is super cute! LOVE! But you're right. Not $25 love.

So far nothing too surprising. I'm pretty cynical about the steroids issue, but I will be sad if Edgar Martinez's name shows up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's pretty much why I figured linking to it was plenty.

They just told us we can leave early today, which seems fucking ridiculous, given the fairly typical bad weather outside. But then my boss got delicious cookies delivered for us! So now I'm not nearly as cranky as earlier.

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

In the pic Jessica linked to Noah's totally laughing at something. Not with. At.

Is mockery a discrete stage in child development?

eta:

They've discovered the source of the Aurora Borealis.

I, uh, didn't know we didn't know.

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, uh, didn't know we didn't know.

Up until now, the best theory was the Aurora Borealis were the result of God lighting His farts.

Punishingly Intricate

Is mockery a discrete stage in child development?

You mean when they start to realize that "you people are ridiculous!"?

I think that does develop pretty early on.

ION, I feel like I'm getting a cold! And Word just crashed and somehow effed up all the bullets in the huge ass doc I have like an hour to get into its final shape! RIDIC!

That was my reaction as well, ita . I guess it was one of those theories well fleshed out and understood, just not observed? (I lived at a solar observatory, for gawdsake. One channel on the tv was a feed from the telescope. I would think I had known, but nope.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

They've discovered the source of the Aurora Borealis.

I, uh, didn't know we didn't know.

Yeah, me too. I was all "Doi...it's the sun, Dr. Genius!"

Turns out the article's more about wound geo-magnetic fields...that's what they were trying to find.
