I blew out the motor on my popcorn popper! I can't live like this.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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

Skipping oh-so-much to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Gloomcookie's birthday.
Happy birthday, GC! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy Birthday, GC!!!! I wish you everything SUGAR today!
People comment all the time about my band being a "girl" band. Uh..yeah...except for the dude on guitar. It's irritating to me, even when I know the person saying it thinks it's something cool and makes them inclined to enjoy our show, because there's such a whiff of "ooh it's like monkeys driving cars" or something about the observation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday Glamcookie!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Glam-day, Gloomcookie! Happy Gloom-day, Glamcookie!!

Monkeys. And their cars.
When I fired up the TV this morning it was sitting on a an infomercial (oh, the joyride a TiVo brings) for "Debt Cures They Don't Want You To Know About."
What's the deal with that? Raising your credit scores by 100+ points? Lowering your interest rates by 20 odd %. That stuff work? $29.95 with a money back guarantee? It all looks like major voodoo. And if it does work, why is there a Playboy Bunny on the panel of women being presented to?
Sugar day, Glam!

I'd say the transistor is the most important invention of the last 100 years (if you consider the transistor made possible the integrated circuit and the modern computer).
