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

I hadn't heard this before: Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World

Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.

...

An employee at the Costco store in Queens said there were no restrictions on rice buying, but limits were being imposed on purchases of oil and flour. Internet postings attributed some of the shortage at the retail level to bakery owners who flocked to warehouse stores when the price of flour from commercial suppliers doubled.

But I've been reading about things in poorer countries for a while now.

Spiking food prices have led to riots in recent weeks in Haiti, Indonesia, and several African nations. India recently banned export of all but the highest quality rice, and Vietnam blocked the signing of new contract for foreign rice sales.

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

How terrifying is that?

I swear, this seems awfully like phrenology. Also, forgive me for being black, but equating women open to short-term relationships with women with wider lips? Potful of potential trouble.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

How terrifying is that?

HOMG. That would scare the living crap out of me.

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

I want to do it, simply because it's so sheerly terrifying.

I mean, I might as well die doing something scary, right?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I am loving the Dalai Lama like nobody's business.

(Damn. That stupid movie was made for me. It really was.)

And me. I love the sound of the *ping* of a rubber ball hitting someone's head. I am also waiting patiently for my Average Joe's t-shirt to get here.

90 minutes in the vault and a day spent doing 3 jobs because people were out sick. Oy.

I guess the falls carry all the urine from terrified swimmers in that pool right over the edge pretty handily?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

How terrifying is that?

Terrifying enough that I had to look away from the pictures because I was fighting fear nausea.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I assume that these pictures are taken during the dryest part of the year, when there's not nearly the current -- or the depth of water -- that would be a problem, at least with care. You notice that just about all the "swimmers" are flat out, which might indicate that they're in about a foot of water....

Still, I think I'd rather climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.
