No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And is also a bit of a dandy. Is there intersection between the two? It seems like there must be.

Oh yes, Mods are total dandies. Definitely in that long British tradition.

You could famously become a complete social outcast among Mods for having the side vents on your jacket cut an inch too short.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know why, but this got me earwormed with "I Wanna Be Just Like You" from Jungle Book.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Random fact of the day: See's Candy is a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, and has been since 1972.

I did not know that.

OK, the Nigerian scam emails aren't even trying anymore, just got one saying, "I'm Mrs. Bintu Mahmood, contact my lawyer So-and-so." That's it. Please, if you're going to scam me, at least put together a clever cover story of political unrest, hidden gold shipments, and weeping orphaned children.

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

My sister got a Nigerian-scam-style email in the name of one of our cousins. That's creepy on a number of levels. I didn't know they did them with non-Africans, to start off with.
