It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Dude, I don't know. Obviously, we must study him to find out. And to talk about comics and RPGs and such. For science!

He makes me want to go nerd-hunting in basements around the world in the hope that we'll find another one who hits critical hotness at age 30, but I suspect he's the gorgeous geek equivalent of monkeys typing Shakespeare.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I went to the DMV and the woman didn't mention taking a new picture, and that would have been a whole nother wait, and we weren't communicating so well (she was deaf with cochlear implants, so kind of hard to understand), so I let it go. Apparently they will mail me the new license in two weeks. And my vision (with glasses) was just barely good enough to read the eye chart, once I figured out which frigging line I was supposed to read. Hint: it was the one circled in red.
I also went shopping, where I got a super cute dress for $14, which justified buying a cashmere sweater for ... considerably more.

I miss the NY DMV, where they let you take your picture over if you don't like it and, more importantly, don't list your weight. Le sigh.

Yeah, I was pleased with not having to lie about list my weight. I also like the take-a-number system. I waited like a half hour, but it was just sitting on a bench reading, so no big.

They let people do that at the annex MVA place (I don't know about other branches.) The glories of digital. I think you only have to go in person and get a new photo every 10 years. I renewed the current one completely by mail.

I really want a new pic since I look nothing like mine now, but no way am I going to the DMV until it is required.

If I had changed my address like I was supposed to, I wouldn't have had to go in, but you can't do both things together online, or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd like to iterate that people are stupid.
Unrelatedly, those Russian pics are cool, and I wonder if they specified underwear colour for the first challenge. That's a bit of a coincidence.
