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

I have a weakness for the CM guest star (well, all of them this week), so I had no problem buying what they were selling. And the bad guy was creepy nasty and I had much feelings of helplessness.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

If anything similar happens again, I'd also worry about identity theft.

Oh, God, now I'm really worried. I don't have time to fix anything about this today, so I'll have to contact my bank tomorrow and see if I can get my credit report (they offer a free one annually, IIRC) and see if there's been anything hinky going on.

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

This is some fucked-up shit.

Too unfit to run: Two-year-old who smokes 40 cigarettes a day puffs away on a toy truck

Taking a deep drag on his cigarette while resting on the steering wheel of his truck, he looks like a parody of a middle-aged lorry driver.

But the image covers up a much more disturbing truth: At just the tender age of two, Ardi Rizal's health has been so ruined by his 40-a-day habit that he now struggles to move by himself.

The four-stone Indonesia toddler is certainly far too unfit to run around with other children - and his condition is set to rapidly deteriorate.

But, despite local officials' offer to buy the Rizal family a new car if the boy quits, his parents feel unable to stop him because he throws massive tantrums if they don't indulge him.

His mother, Diana, 26, wept: 'He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick.'

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have no logical, rational, or constructive anything to say about that story.

Yeah. It kinda' sits there, like a big cloud of WTF hovering overhead.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Like Zenkitty, I have work to do, and I am sort of staring blankly at it, instead of actually doing most of it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

There is something fishy about that story to me.

I was kinda' thinking that. How reliable is the Mail?

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

How reliable is the Mail?

Oh, it's from the Daily Mail.

Whew - I was really worried it was real for a minute there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll have to contact my bank tomorrow and see if I can get my credit report (they offer a free one annually, IIRC) and see if there's been anything hinky going on.

You should be able to get a free credit report from each of the three reporting agencies.

Which reminds me to do that, since it's been a while. Of course, I have all of the holds on my accounts from my identity theft issues, so I can't just call. At least now I have an office to make copies at....

So I called about a massage, and they are closed Monday for the holiday! I feel like that's nice for their workers, but a missed business opportunity.
