Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I look at my tagline, and I know what Hardison would do. He'd drink orange soda.
Okay, I have 90 minutes of whiny left. I need to pace myself.

The only place I've been to in Canada is Ottawa. It seemed like every restaurant served pizza of some sort and everybody was really nice even though someone said I should go to Hull. Since I was there with a guy from India, he could tell me who streets were named after.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So Colbert was on the Today Show. Cut from the official video was this little exchange:
VIEIRA: Do you Twitter, or tweet?
COLBERT: I have "twatted".

My boss just gave me a tidbit of news that makes me want to beat my head against a wall. I asked him if he told me this so that I wouldn't involuntarily roll my eyes out of my head when we're in a meeting with the Godboss. "Pretty much."
Good to know.

mac's therapist thinks I should get a therapist. I said I had neither the time nor the money, and as far as I could tell - therapy would not give me more time in the day or extra pairs of hands, so I didn't really see the point. She gave me the other therapist's contact info. head desk.

Hilarious! I've never twittered or tweeted, but I have twitted a few deserving people in my time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Twat" was my standard term for people on Twitter. It's just such a nice parallel with "tweet" for the message itself. And then work got heavy into twittering.

Twit, twat, twut?
ita, I hope this round of treatment gives you more relief. I do know how you feel. I rather despaired after karate made me have to have my knee surgery redone, and I had to come to terms with the fact that I would never be able to move in stances again, which meant the end of Shotokan. It's hard for me to think about something like Tai Chi after I spent a decade mocking it. I've tried it, but the instructors have been too New Age for me. I've thought about Aikido, but I don't think it would offer the adrenaline rush.
