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

I think the most important way of protecting it (barring airlocking your babies and pets) is to make sure it doesn't eat any cables or fringes when you're not around--it'll tangle with the doohickies. But there are replacement doohickies in the package.

Certainly no sea monkey disappointment for me.

I was thinking of getting a tree, but I remembered I'm going home for Christmas.

We just got a tree! Taz is quite taken aback.

This is the first tree we've had in this house!

What's the name of the device where an episode is filmed in limited locations (maybe just a room or two) and also maybe with limited cast?

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

This is the first tree we've had in this house!

Yay! We're getting ours this afternoon.

Well this is new. I was chopping onions and it didn't bother my eyes at all but instead has sent me into sneezing fits.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

ita, I think that's a Bottle episode.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

What exactly was a "gentleman" in 17th century England? Not a noble, right? But you could be prosperous, and still "no gentleman", true?

True, Typo Boy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

we have a tree. mac was enticed by the larger girth but less full trees. The Douglas Firs were clearly better looking, tight and dense, but thanks fully - what he chose was $10 cheaper. Now I have to do the dance of getting it in the stand and up - always tricky with a 7 footer by myself.

In fact just getting it home is probably something that should be filmed and shown for comic relief somewhere. me in a hot pink puffy coat, swerving on the sidewalk with the tree in a granny cart. mac walking beside carrying a large plastic tub.

Thanks, dcp. That's exactly what I was thinking of.
