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

That was more fun than even jet engines on trucks!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh. I wasn't thinking of those Travellers--Britain has non-Roma Travellers that aren't new agey at all, they're old. I think of them as primarily Irish, though that's probably narrow on my part.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! I have a British English question, too! A "vest" is a US tank top, right? I was annoyed reading a book by an English author about American characters in the US who kept putting on vests to do yoga, etc.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Teaching was good. The schedule was brutal as usual. Many other things were just bizarre. I think we had a full moon all summer.
Oh, and if anyone in Houston is looking for someone to smite I have a deserving candidate.

Yargh-- the sheath on my laptop's power cord has split and broken in the worst possible place. Guess what I'll be buying tomorrow?

I know that Travelers were the ones I was warned about when I started working retail after moving up to the NW 'burbs--they're rather notorious for being shoplifters. I never encountered any, though, so it's probably more of a myth than anything else. There was an ep of L&O:CI in the first season with William Sadler as the head of a Traveler clan.
