If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Now I can't stop thinking about Terrence Howard. Hope you're all happy.

I have told so many people about Terrence Howard that when I try to put "terrence howard toilet paper" into google on my iPhone, the search pops up after "ter"

Terrence Howard should totally do a toilet paper commercial!

Because books.

I only vaguely recall the Terrence Howard/toilet paper connection, and I think I'm okay with that.

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

But he doesn't like toilet paper! He's all about the baby wipes.

Comcast here has just introduced the rebranding of its products as Xfinity, apparently hoping we'll forget that it's still Comcast. It reminds me of how the Atlanta City Council dealt with the problem of Stewart Avenue being associated with prostitution. It changed the name of the street to Metropolitan Parkway, perhaps in the hope that the prostitutes would be unable to find their usual corners and wander about aimlessly.

Also, I have the cool air, for less than the original estimate. I must light a candle to St. Willis Carrier.
