George Will got an *engraved invitation* for the crazy train. But he's still on it.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In the end I don't mind who my parents made me. Tough shit if they want to switch it up and be more conventional now, though. That ship done sailed.
Good god, I hate timesheets. And I really hate retroactive timesheets. And I can't remember what Friday it was I worked half a day, dammit. My record keeping sucks.

I'm sorry about your mother's crazy, Sox.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ergh, Sox.

I can't remember anything. I just go through my e-mails for each day hoping they provide a clue as to what projects I worked on (we have to bill our hours to specific projects).

Dare I to ask just what George Will did recently? (Probably not starting to wear an ascot, though I could hope.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Sorry you have to deal with Crazy Sox and Vortex. I have an uncle headed that way.
George Will wrote an article about trains being a tool to beat the rugged car individualists down into accepting collectivism. (He doesn't mention airlines which will probably have us in a more or less "bring on the Borg" state of mind in the next few years if things keep going the way they are).

Yeah, sorry about your mother's crazy too Vortex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think George Will was specifically talking about high-speed trains. 'Cuz those would compete more against flying than driving.

My parents sometimes freak out about us kids, or act like they had a hard time with us, and I remind them that we all graduated college and are supporting ourselves, no one got arrested or has a drug habit...what more do they want??

Every time I read George Will I decide you can too be too rich. Because people who have flown recently have plenty of f-words for the airlines, but not one is "Free," Honest.
