Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been a bad donor recently, so I couldn't tell you if there was a shift, or just an initial misapprehension. Maybe my gift was just as kewl as my sisters!

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 really just assumed that, if they weren't strictly literal critters, they still provided animals and such for people. If 30 people bought goats and no one bought chickens, they'd give families what was useful but still full critter value.
So logically I would support either option. But part of me wants a goat out there with "from: Cass" tattooed on its ass. Um, maybe not actually tattooed.

I vote that your gift was kewl.
This is possibly because I got a goat last year (and chickens the year before) and I want that goat to exist. Until ritually sacrificed or curried.

It would be kinda cool if their website had inventory. No more chicks! They're all chicked up. Buy a buffalo share instead.
And then when they total things up there's one sixth of a heifer left over and someone gets a Godfather-style surprise.

This is why I'd elect you leader of my world any day, ita. That and the websites of pretty people.
I'd totally accept that they are all chicked up and then I'd buy ducks. Or that last share of heifer so it doesn't bleed and die.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Indeed.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Why do people say, "I should really do X" and then never actually do it?
Drives me batshit.

Oh sorry, that's me Cash. Esp if I say something like "I should really upload those photos one of these days." Speaking only for myself, I say it because I wish I would suddenly morph into the kind of person who does it as I know that it's not hard to do if I could just get myself into the habit of doing it.
