It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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

The hell?!? What happened????

While biking, I hit a pothole, lost control and went straight into the nearest tree. I had a sore neck, sore back and bruises all over the place. My head hit the tree, but my helmet did a good job of protecting my brain.

And this is funny: I just accidentally slammed my fingers in the sliding door to our bathroom. Hurt for a few minutes but it seems OK now (except I need a bandaid).

Now tagless for your comfort.

Kathy, I would kill for MGG's cheekbones. I shouldn't have watched the ep about the unsub who murdered people in their beds RIGHT BEFORE GOING TO BED!

And I said, "Is that a Progenitor device in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

Hell, yeah.

I remember when a similar case was happening in the midwest (guy using the railroad to move from state to state and killing people). I got creeped out by the unsub on CM taking the victims' clothes with him after sleeping in their bloody beds.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

While biking, I hit a pothole, lost control and went straight into the nearest tree.

Holy crap!

I had a sore neck, sore back and bruises all over the place.

Well, YEAH.

My head hit the tree, but my helmet did a good job of protecting my brain.

Yay, helmet!

Jesus god. I'm glad you're okay!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Okay, this is cool:

U.K. Designer “Grows” an Entire Wardrobe From Bacteria

U.K. Designer “Grows” an Entire Wardrobe From Bacteria

Suzanne Lee can conjure clothing out of thin air. No, wait, that’s not entirely accurate. She’ll need at least a couple of bathtubs, some yeast, a pinch of bacteria, and several cups of sweetened green tea. Lee, who is a senior research fellow at the School of Fashion & Textiles at Central Saint Martins in London, is the brains (and brawn) behind BioCouture, an experiment in growing garments from the same microbes that ferment the tasty caffeinated beverage.

From this microbial soup, fibers begin to sprout and propagate, eventually resulting in thin, wet sheets of bacterial cellulose that can be molded to a dress form. As the sheets dry out, overlapping edges “felt” together to become fused seams.
