Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

We just got the following e-mail from Facilities:

Great news, Costco has signed a one year agreement with Coca-Cola. Coke products will return on the next Costco order. Thanks for your patience during this non-coke period.

I almost want to make "Thanks for your patience during this non-Coke period" my new tag.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dude. You totally did not take a bunch of people hostage and demand Coke. Go you!

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

Horses are horses.

Horses with horns that gore de-virginised women! Or was that just us extrapolating? Quite possibly.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I had a friend who sent out "I am no longer a friend to unicorns" postcards when she lost her virginity.

I believe my dad still thinks I can (and do) frolic with unicorns. His "I disbelieve you, but subtly" face was impressive when I told him this.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

"I could have caught a herd of unicorns, were not the bait so rare."

Can't remember where that came from ....

Best part of working at home (besides wine with lunch)? Surprise presents!

I was really starting to regret not getting a Christmas tree this year.

But then I got two things delivered today, from two different people, who don't know each other.

One box was a small potted Christmas tree. The other? An ornament.

It's like "The Gift of the Magi" in reverse. And full of awesomeness.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

"I could have caught a herd of unicorns, were not the bait so rare."

Well, really you just need the one virgin, don't you? So if you can get one unicorn you can get a herd. Unless there's some one unicorn per virgin rule.

Hopefully, a virgin used as unicorn bait is still a virgin at the end of the procedure....

Horses are horses.

Of course, of course.
