Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Kathy, your bookstore employees seem to be taking a particular delight in sticking it to us recently. You should tell them to stop that. It's not nice.

An acquaintance of mine is going to try to get us tickets for that. Of course, it's hopelessly sold out, but apparently a few last seats are available to the general public some time in September.

We'll see. Not holding my breath.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

So, a coworker sent this out a bit ago

I’ll be stepping out in a few, I have a chiro appt at 2.
I’ll be WFH afterwards but don’t be blue.
If you need to contact me you know what to do.

Of, course, I did the only thing I could possibly do. Reply to all, "BURMA SHAVE!"

Not yet, but I work at an agency, so I'm sure there will be.

Speaking of work. Any one want to read through something for me quickly. It's a transcript, so mostly, I just want to make sure I have all the right commas in all the right places.

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

lisah, it's raining at your house.

I hope she didn't leave the cake out.
