MY grandfather was a fireman (well, engineer on a fire boat; never once actually attacked a fire, but he helped get the guys TO the fires) - which was the "respectable" profession my grandmother forced him to take, when she decided "locksmith" was too much like "safecracker" and applied direct pressure to his self-image.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Eeek. McKenzie Phillips reveals that she had a ten year long affair with her dad, John Phillips.
Yeah, that's incredibly creepy.

McKenzie Phillips reveals
Apparently he was also the one who got her hooked on drugs. Shot her up himself the first time (and screwed it up).

That is very disturbing.
Also, it really doesn't sound particularly consensual.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Good lord. I saw someone twitter something nonspecific like "how horrible about McKenzie Phillips!" and just assumed, you know, dead. I'm more horrified now.

She also said I'm a "top candidate". They can't make offers to more than one person at a time, right?
I don't think so, unless you decline or something hinky happens with the background check. They probably have to be cagey till that's through, and if they don't have a salary offer decided then... basically, she's telling you, you got the job, just sit tight till we get our shit together and can make you a formal offer.
That's my read on the situation, anyway.
