I don't really need a jet pack to be happy, just pneumatic tube systems and zeppelins.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You know what's wrong with this "modern" world? Not enough pneumatic tube systems.

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

Hec, are you watching Caprica?

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

You should get more hospitals in your life then. UCLA's flashy new hospital (the one where MJ got brought to) uses them. They're still au courant.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

but when it comes to wearing swords they must be stopped.

Hrrmph. Just fucking try it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Word on the house is that in 3-4 days the money should be cleared and then it is just title search and paperwork preparation for the closing. Oh and the seller has to have the work done and let us inspect again. Closing should proceed on the 30th.

My Costco has pneumatic tubes between the cash and the office.

My town had a old timey dept store that has a tube system like Sophia's mom worked at. I loved it. Unfortunately it closed in the 90s.

No. Does it have Zeppelins?

You know the movie line that most often comes to me with various fannish obsessions is from the salesman in Joe vs. the Volcano who has a zealot's glee in pushing the high end traveling trunks: "Luggage is the central pre-occuption of my life."
