Yeesh, people, it is seriously Weatherpocalypsing out there. The wind is INSANE and there were bush sized tumbleweeds flying across the highway 40 mph at head height. Multiple tumbleweeds. The SO took video; I`ll link if he puts it up.
And then I got home and wrangled with the trash can and it was HAILING on me! At 50 degrees. It is ridic out there, I tell you what.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

I dunno, I envy many things about having a penis. Or, OK, mostly just one thing--peeing standing up.

I am standing here watching the trashcan rock back and forth. The truck is going around the cul de sac and I still think it`s going to tip before it gets here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Or, OK, mostly just one thing--peeing standing up.
That is pretty cool. As is the ability to put out small fires.

Peeing standing up would rock. But getting it caught in zippers . . . I had a friend in college who was late for dinner once because he spent fifteen minutes knowing he was just going to have to yank the zipper back down real fast to free himself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You don't need a penis to pee standing up. It just makes not getting it down your leg easier.

Yeah, that tag, totally closes.
Doctor's office, call in the refill! Stop telling me you have, when you haven't!

Hubby the former fireman has tales to tell. Involving beer and small grass fires.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Requires snow. Ergo fail.

OK, putting out fires did not really occur to me, it's not something I've ever needed. But not having to sit down on a gross toilet seat? Being able to camp in the woods so much more easily? Stuck in a traffic jam with no place to go, and able to handle that business? Yeah, I envy that.
t ETA: Yes, ita, I know many women who can pee standing up...but it's SOOOO much more likely to be messy. And still involves dropping your pants a fair bit
