Did anyone else hear this pronounced as "kay?" in their head. With the question uplift, even.

I'd be bereft if someone shot my computer.

OMG I want to stab someone. And/or go to sleep.

Patrick Bateman could help you out with this.

I am not a geek.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How did your fannish geekiness first emerge?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I hate that it already dark outside. We should have some sort of ritualized celebration involving lights to ensure that the days start getting longer.

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