Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

Christ, ZenKitty, you made me go back to the store. Yes, you're right, they do have "We Blow Shit Up" merchandise. But more apropos for me, they have travel mugs. I've needed one for work for forever--and this is a nice obscure reference with no face on it to draw undue attention in the office.

Okay, no more Leverage-related spending.

I have at least 3 more hours of work to try to get done tonight (I was really hoping to put in 2 good hours), but mac will not go to bed or leave the room. He is at least letting me work and only occasionally interrupting. grrrrrr.

I would assume pigtails are braided, based on kids books like Pippi Longstocking. But I would use the term for more modern, unbraided hair also.

ETA: Wikipedia agrees. Apparently the twist of the braid is where the term comes from.

The term pigtail appears in English in the American colonies in the 1600s to describe a twist of chewing tobacco. One of the steps in processing the tobacco was to twist a handful of leaves together to form a compact bunch that would then be cured (dried, either with or without smoking). The term "pigtail" was applied to the bunch based on its resemblance to a twisted pig's tail.

From the later 1600s through the 1800s, the term came to be applied to any braided (plaited, in British parlance) hairstyle. The British army also adopted a single pigtail or "queue" as its standard dress for long hair.

Most dictionaries still define "pigtail" as a single tight braid. However, many American English speakers use the term to describe two symmetrical bunches of hair on either side of the head, braided or not.
