Ooh. The Dow was briefly under 9000. (It's now 9004.) When was the last time it was under 9000?
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Dow broke 9000 in 1998, and again in 2003.

Kathy, wrod. I think it's cool that despite the "diva" reputation(wait...if KO is dude, can he be a diva? Let's say Talented Pain in The Ass, then) he seemed so surprised to be watched. And by an idol of his.

Punishingly Intricate
It's almost like they think it's a personal insult that I'm asking them to think linearly
Right?! Sheesh. And I'm not even asking them to write (that's my job) just EXPLAIN things to me!

Well, duh, if you don't understand the steps, how can you write them right? No wonder manuals often suck.

Yay for clipped Loki being fine!!
I remember how pathetic Amarna was after getting fixed--being a girl cat, it took her a little time to recover. She would walk around the apartment and try and scratch her scratching post, but only manage to get one paw halfway before you could almost see the wince and she would put it back on the floor. She took over my body pillow I had laying on the floor next to my bed until she recovered enough to jump on the bed with me.

“Not dead yet!”
I meant when I'm the editor, not the author. And of course, not for book-type-writing. Or writhing, which is what I typed the first time.
That's what I figured you meant, Jesse-- and I dunno, I think writhing is perfectly acceptable in this context.
I can pick Loki up after 5, he's fine.
Yay, Loki!
