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

Mac! Adorable!

Yes, there was a burrell's DH sighting on the bus today. It's such a small town, really.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, our 12-year-old car got vandalized last night, right in front of the house. Thieves crawled underneath it and took the catalytic converter. Apparently the price of platinum has gone way up and the Toyota 4Runner has a lot of platinum in its cc. The cops said it was the third 4Runner converter theft they'd heard about this week. Freaky. How the hell do crooks find out about this esoteric theft item?

It will cost $1,000 to fix, but we hope our insurance will cover a big chunk of that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I believe the price of a lot of metals has been rising with Chinese demand, making for a whole new viable criminal market. Even manhole covers have been targetted previously.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OK, I SO want to be a manhole cover thief.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

would you carry the manhole covers around yourself? or would you need an assistant?

My tip is to dress up like Captain America so you can disguise your ill-gotten gains as the shield.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Both Mac and Noah are just too cute.

as long as I could flip it on its edge I'm pretty sure I could just roll it real casual-like.
