"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is it ethical to create a living woolly mammoth out of recovered DNA?

Who cares if it's ethical?! It's cool!

I'm more interested in recreating the thylacine, personally. Or moas.

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

15-20 minutes of "My human, my reason for existing, hold me, touch me, let me gaze into your eyes!" per day, then they're pretty "Yo, dude" from across the room the rest of the time.

I've dated men like this.

Do you have their numbers?

My boss just informed me that I may have to go to training. In Toronto. In February.

You can stay entirely underground if you choose to.

What Connie said. (Second post in second thread in a row saying that.)

Can I hire you to be on call during conversations with my supervisor?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Having volunteered at the Humane Society and walked five dogs, I desperately need a shower.

Having walked five dogs, I am so very tired and wish the shower would come to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, ita, how do you work mustard in butter for popcorn? Mine was just a clump, and I didn't want to cook off all the vinegar. Oh, were you using dry mustard?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The dog conversation reminded me: I must show you Benny.

My mom and stepdad brought him home a week ago. He's a 6-year old terrier mix. Poor little guy was a neglect case and was absolutely infested with heartworms when he was brought to the shelter.

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

OK, ita, how do you work mustard in butter for popcorn?

I just stirred it in very vigourously once the butter was nice and melted and then poured it on the popcorn right away.

OK, I will have to try it again. The horror!
