Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

"Spock with a beard" is nerd shorthand for intelligent, scary evil.

One of the puppies is looking deader than usual, with his or her head hanging out of the cage.

I know. So amusing. How can it possibly be comfortable?

I preferred DS9's take on the Mirrorverse, with the leather-catsuited Intendent.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Could I solicit some help from Spanish-reading members of the hive mind?

Please tell me if

Los miembros que recibieron servicio con X en 1987 y 2007 recibirán cheques de reembolso por margen este mes.

says

Members who received service from X (or had service with X) in 1987 and 2007 will receive margin refund checks this month.

Preferably in a way that's not embarrassing.

I can kind of read Spanish. Producing sentences is quite another thing.

That reminds me of a friend who had a nanny from South America and was struggling to call up her high school Spanish. She said, "We communicate mostly in the infinitive."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My normal lunch is rather dull. It's a turkey or chicken breast sandwich. (Occasionally I go to the nearby cafeteria and get a CLT sandwich, which is a cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato)

I just turned on the puppy cam and one of the puppies snorgled the webcam. Giant puppy nose for the win.

What's your default lunch?

Heh. Um.

Used to be, my default lunches were a turkey sandwich, chicken burrito, or pad see eiw.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Dylan is on the kitchen floor in front of me playing with a set of furniture casters (you know, those things you put under the couch to make it not scratch up the floor). He has been kept occupied by this for at least ten minutes. If I'd known it was this easy I'd have bought all his toys at Home Depot.

It's not for nothing that the Toy Hall of Fame has officially inducted The Box and The Stick as toys of significance.
