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

Heh.
ION, is it OK that a small group of SETI enthusiasts want to begin broadcasting strong radio signals to possible extraterrestrial civilizations? Some think this will put us at risk for alien invasion....
Sure, the odds are small, but it'd be really bad if it happened....
Recently, several groups, ranging from radio astronomers in Argentina and Russia all the way to the web advertising site Craig's List, have declared that they intend to commence broadcasting high-intensity Messages to ETI... or METI... an endeavor also known at "Active SETI". Their intention is to change the observable brightness of Earth civilization by many orders of magnitude, in order to attract attention to our planet from anyone who might be out there.

I'm heading to the train station in a few. Probably won't be back online until Christmas day, so happy whatever-you-celebrate!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bye, shrift!
ita, are you around? I have head injury questions for a scene I'm working on.
I'm here now. I was away off the internet having a cow. A co-worker asked me where I hung out on the web, and I told him a friend of mine had written a book on Buffy fandom, and it would tell him where.
He said "You expect me to buy it?" I said I wouldn't tell him not to.
This morning he comes to my desk to tell me that he hasn't found us here, but he has found my LJ and my flickr and my provocateuse sites.
Yoinks.
At least he's cool. I made him tell me where he found the segue, and I've erased it now. Good detective work, though. I'm sure there are others, but those one totally startled me.

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

Tell him I said, "HEY!"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So if the associate across the hall thanks the two paralegals whose offices are on either side of mine for all of their help loudly enough that everyone in the area hears him (and gives them both presents), then comes into my office and demands I help him with something, even though I am clearly in the middle of something else (as he has a habit of doing), I get to spork him, right?
I'll use my fancy Christmas spork.
