For fake library signage, I'd say things like "101 Ways to Pick a Lock," "Legal Appeals for Dummies," "How to Get Along with Your Cellmate," "Shiv Sharpening for Fun and Profit," and "Exercise in a Four-Foot Space."
Hee! These.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
All good ideas! I am trying to do a mix of funny and serious ones.

Random hivemind question: What types of books would you expect to find in a prison library?
My MiL used to be a prison librarian - the most popular genre by far was true crime novels. Go figure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, they make flash drives small now. I almost didn't get the one I'm ogling just because I'm scared I'll lose it. But it's so cute. I'm having a Love All The Small Things spasm right now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Thanks for the 401k help, guys. Looks like the mutual fund info might be sufficient.

did you see the lawyer who asked for a continuance so that he could go to the game? And then there's the guy who quit his job so that he could move back to Texas follow the series.
eta: edited to add linkage.

I saw the lawyer but not the other one. I count sticking with teams in the lean years more than doing something crazy when they go to the big championship games.
Like, I was part of the Who Dat nation when they were the Ain'ts. That's some love right there.
