No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Happy Canada Day to all who celebrate it!

I'm working from home today. Much as I like most of my coworkers, this is a treat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, great to see your family (since we've heard stories) and BOYFRIEND!

I cannot believe we missed out on this story! I mean, the one that led to the boyfriend. Also, has Tal posted here? I feel like she's familiar.

Ugh, msbelle, I hope mac gets his act together soon.

I think Tal was the friend who was monitoring the board during Nilly's Stateside journey in order to assess the level of axe-murderousness happening.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Congratulations, Doctor Nilly!

So, this boyfriend...I remember ages ago, when you were showing off the splendid Simpsons head covering you made for a wedding, you mentioning that you had finished it all in a rush, putting the final touches on it while on a second date, but that the date didn't seem to mind and thought it was neat. And I thought, "Huh. Second date. Likes Nilly being just Nilly. Huh." Is this him, or another wise and very fortunate man?

But, holy cow, you're a Doctor of Philosophy! With a lovely loving family and a robe with velvet armbands and a beautiful bilingual certificate and everything! SO AMAZING AND WONDERFUL.

Good one, good one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

CONGRATS NILLY!

Tal is indeed that friend.
