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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A great Onion editorial by Jimmy Carter: [link]
Funny because it's true.
Oh, what's that I hear? The weather's all screwy? You got a global warming problem? Boo-fucking-hoo! I was telling you morons to turn off your lights and unplug all your shit at night to conserve energy in 19-fuckin'-75, for chrissake. Gee, I wonder what woulda happened if we'd all switched to solar power like I fucking did back when we had a fucking chance to do something about it. Think we'd still be sucking Saudi Arabia's dick like a five-dollar whore? I sure as fuck didn't get no fancy Oscar for that little spiel, though, did I? No. But Al Gore, that cum-sucking pig, steals the shit from me and now he's the greatest thing since Jesus Christ made a fucking sandwich.
Well, he can lick my asshole right after George W. Bush, that fuck.
But the whole thing is great.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I had no idea that Americans didn't know Frances is a girl's name
I think it's partly a generational thing, too. I know the difference, and I'm sure I learned things like that from my parents somehow, who were both born in the late '20s in America.
I have got to get me some bacon salt. Stat. (I am unsurprised that I am one with Cass in that.)
ETA: And with that, I'm for bed. G'night.

Oooooh. That sounds really really good. Dear self, you aren't hungry. No really, you're not. You just had dinner about an hour ago, so you don't need bacon salt toast.

My gram's name is Frances, Burrell, so it makes me think happy thoughts.
Gram named my mom Eunice. Mom says could have been worse--Gram originally wanted to name her Wanda Hope. So not kidding.
Also, I think I'm getting a cold. Feh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm with Jilli, that toast sounds good in a good sort of way, but I love a sprinkle of salt on bread & unsalted butter. For reasons I don't know and probably don't need explained it tastes way better than using salted butter in the first place.

The one odd thing about the name Frances is it had a brief resurgence in some circles in the 90s when Courtney Love named her daughter Frances Bean. So when Franny does meet another random Frances, she's usually about 9 or 10 or so and hence she earns great reverence from my daughter.
