That's exciting, Allyson!! At least you have practice meeting people for the first time who you've known for years.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yeah, but I don't snog you guys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You had me live at the foot of your bed for months. Snogging is nothing compared to that.
Though it is potentially true I approach snogging wrongly.

So, New Boy is arriving on Friday,

I tried on a rockin' corset, but then realized I would never be able to hook it on my own.
It seems like 1 could be useful with 2, eventually. Assuming he's worthy of the awesomeness that is Allyson.
In other news, my office style guide has finally adopted the serial comma. One of my coworkers has been tasked with adding it to every appropriate spot in the new website text. When she told me this I raised my fist, shook it, and said, "The righteous have triumphed!"
And, in spite of some earlier grousing, I know that I work in the right place. Because no one even turned their head when I did that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's so funny? Why an ape will never laugh at another's misfortune
Evolution has enabled humans to use laughter to mock and ridicule others while apes simply laugh to enjoy themselves, a scientist revealed today.
Dr Marina Davila Ross, of the University of Portsmouth, has previously studied how humans learned to laugh from their great ape ancestors.
In her latest research she found that primate species have since developed different functions for laughter.
While Asian apes laugh for laughter's sake, African apes laugh to influence others and humans can use laughter to sneer at others.
Dr Ross said: 'Humans and the African ape developed laughter further than the Asian great ape to have an effect on others.
'But something happened in the last five million years which means humans use laughter for a much wider range of situations than our primate ancestors.
'Laughter occurs in close to every imaginable form of human social interaction, including to mock others.'
It would suck to be an ape. I mean, what would be the point to living if you can't "use laughter to mock and ridicule others"?
