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.

Also, lucky.

That too. Ergo, since he slept with Dazzler, she must have redeeming qualities.

Hmm. He makes the second hot three-fingered X-Man. Now I feel weird. Or maybe it's just that the X-Men are pretty hot (well, not Scott or Hank), and the fingers thing is moot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hank is the Beast, right? He's hot. I'd totally do Beast. He's the best of them all, if'n you ask me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'd totally do Beast.

And so would Agent Brand. She has a really big gun.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I keep noticing people doing this same thing with the elevator in my office building, and I really don't get it. You enter the building on a sort of landing, which is G on the elevator buttons. The landing has an elevator door and a set of about six stairs up to the first floor. Nothing else on the landing. The elevator will stop at both G and 1, so that people who can't use stairs can get to 1 without using those six stairs. The elevator also goes up to the higher floors of the building. Just about every time I go into the building and get on the elevator at that landing, there will be someone who enters at the same time, walks up those six stairs to the first floor, and presses the button to get the elevator there. Why not just get on the elevator right where they entered the building? It makes it really annoying because the elevator doors take forever to open, so stopping at 1 to collect the person who could have gotten on at G adds about a full minute to the elevator ride.

Over Wolverine? Nightcrawler?

Freak.

When in doubt, F Wolverine. And then Nightcrawler, just in case. Professor X if you have the time.

Oh my God, I just noticed that the ICH definition of "adverse event" is terrible English:

Any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharamceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment

I keep trying to parse it and it MAKES NO SENSE. What is an an adverse event? It is a noun and a clause. It's like saying b.org is "a message board and that is on the Internet."

This is part of the global regulations! Come on now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I did just read a Justice League trade that dealt with Red Tornado a lot. He was very mopey. And somehow the same as, or related to, Martian Manhunter? I was suffering from a lack of canon.

Hah. Oh, P-C, that is the least of GCPs thatnis poorly written.

Not to mention I'm reading a subject diary from a native English speaker who wrote they took the kid in to have ear "wacks" removed. Sad. Just sad.
