Eddie is searching for the "ur-trope" -- the one trope that can explain all others. And what's his latest theory? "People tell stories," he says.
Okay, there you have it.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hey, anyone buy ebooks through Barnes and Noble?
They have a Lend an Ebook beta and I would love to know if anyone has tried it. SO far, you can do it on your PC and a Nook, but they say it's coming for iPhone/Touch soon.
I think I have one of the books in the Beta, but I would LOVE to try it out with someone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
NO. At least, I don't think so.
I figure you have to be 40 to be a cougar, which I am not.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Okay, you all suck, because I have been reading Bureau 1. I think the most boggling thing to me is that we initially worried that Deena might be a sockpuppet of mieskie.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I figure you have to be 40 to be a cougar, which I am not.
Hmm. How old are you again? Because I figure if you can have a teenaged son, reasonably, you can be a cougar.
Deena might be a sockpuppet of mieskie
Dude, really? Now I need to go back and find that. Boggledy-boggle.
I know just enough here in class to be dangerous. I ask the questions the developers don't care about and the trainer hasn't thought about. I hate me.

I'm 36. I could have a 22-year-old, physically.

I loved that part.
