Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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

This story has got me baffled. [link] Two pedestrians were hit by a passenger train. How does that happen? I can see one pedestrian somehow missing that a train is coming and getting hit, or multiple people in a car, but how could two pedestrians both fail to get out of the way of a train?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Were they pushed?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Were they doing drugs (or whatever) together down the tracks, maybe?

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

Oh wait...I was using the metric system. My bad.

Good for NoiseDesign, good for America.

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

Maybe the second one tried to rescue the first one and failed?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If a team for a project happens to be made up entirely of men, do people normally feel a need to point that out? I just did a show with an all female tech team and a few times someone brought up the "all-girl" or "all-women" thing.

And I just got a request to interview with an all-female theatre company.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No, because all-male, or at least male-dominated, is assumed to be the default.

Right. I asked the wrong question.

Would any of you be inclined to point out an all-female or all-non-gender-based demographic?

I can't quite put my finger why it seemed odd to me in this situation.

Is it that unusual in your profession?
