I get Lady-O Gaga to the tune of Radio Gaga.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Chain letters? Suck. "Warnings"? Suck. Disturbingly racist/classist/sexist "jokes"? Suck. Prayer chains, sixty seven sparkly drawings with couplets, "inspirational" stories? Suck. Suck. Suck.
But when you send everyone in your address book a succession of emails. And the first is a series of freakishly adorable koalas. If the second is LIONS EATING A MAN ALIVE you really should fucking warn me.
Really.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK, I don't know why people are rubbed the wrong way by her or would prefer to call her "Lady Gag" or whatever. It sounds like "get offa my lawn"ism even though her sound and style isn't too different from pretty much all dance music artists over the last thirty years.

Oh, Trudy, that whitefont is just disturbing!
I've got some good music here. It's a video of "Stand By Me" sung by street musicians from around the world, and the person who mixed the track flew everywhere and had each performer add their instrument/singing onto the already existing base track. It's an awesome version of the song, and I love the cooperative angle on the recording.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
All I know about Lady Gaga is what shows up on Go Fug Yourself. (I don't tend to listen to top 40 radio)

Kathy, my day is over and I can go home now but instead I'm just sitting here trying to not throw up.
I sent a reply all. Oh yes I did. Hopefully a relative or two will read my email before they read that one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What would you do if your bank accidentally deposited $10 million in your account? Would you transfer it to an offshore account and then run for it?
Couple finds $10 mil in their bank account, take it and run
A couple in New Zealand found an extra NZ10,000,000 in their bank account, so they transferred it offshore and split:
The pair, named in media reports as Leo Gao and Cara Young, could hardly believe their luck when they checked their account at Westpac bank on 5 May, hoping to find their request for a NZ$10,900 (£4,000) overdraft had been accepted.
Instead, the bank had deposited 1,000 times that amount: NZ$10m, or around £4m. With so many borrowers around the world constantly being told "no" by their creditors, here, finally, was a bank that liked to say "yes".
Last night the accidental millionaires from Rotorua, a tourist city on the north island overlooking, appropriately enough, the Bay of Plenty, are on an Interpol wanted list after fleeing with the bulk of their windfall two weeks ago.

Hell yes I would.
And while I was on the lam I'd hire a good lawyer to argue "finders keepers" in case my ass ever got caught.

I'd think of running for it, definitely.
edit: Ooo, yes, Finders Keepers!

I'm sure I'd consider it, but I'd probably figure the anxiety of being a fugitive wouldn't be worth it....

New Zealand couple flee after finding £4m in their bank account
The local newspaper, the Rotorua Review, said a police official had been sent to China to search for the couple.
...
"The individuals associated with this account are believed to have left New Zealand and police were working through Interpol to locate those individuals," he said, adding that the bank had recovered some of the cash, thought to be about NZ$4m.
...
Experts do not expect it will take investigators long to catch up with the couple; the only question is how much they can splurge before they are found.
But they don't say why the experts think that....
