Congrats Plei! I'm verra jealous.
Okay that tommyrot link? I am seriously going to just repress it. I'll sleep better that way.
Ugh. It's been my office hours week. I feel wrung dry right now. Forget the muffin, I need a drink.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn. I guess it's technically worksafe. But sensuous.
I am so in love with that woman's creativity. I want to marry it and have its babies.
I will console myself with a wheatfree lemon shortbread cookie.

Here's something from YouTube that is safe for work, and definitely Jilli-safe, too: an elephant that paints elephant pictures. I'm pretty damn astounded, seriously.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

And now I'm hungry.(ok, I was hungry before I caught up on natter, but the talk of muffins and other yummy food isn't helping)

So, (not that it isn't cute, but) do we think the elephant can actually paint, aka recreate its surroundings, or that it's learned a trick, like putting a hat on a human?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Odd Chicago murder case:
A Lake Barrington man faked his own death by killing an Arlington Heights man and later shot and killed himself in a Missouri hotel room as authorities closed in, Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran said Thursday.
Ari Squire, 39, assumed the identity of his victim in an elaborate scheme, possibly to collect on a $5 million insurance policy to pay off a series of debts, Curran said.
A body found crushed under a pickup truck in Squire's Lake Barrington garage on Feb. 23 was not Squire, as authorities originally reported. Instead it was Justin Newman of Arlington Heights, 20, Curran said.
Squire swapped clothes and wallets with Newman and then burned the garage to stage his death, authorities said. Squire then ordered a credit card in Newman's name, and bought blue contacts and brown hair-coloring to match Newman's eyes and hair, authorities said.
The dude's wife was in on it. After his funeral, he emailed her to ask how many people showed up....
