I'm sure our prof thought she was kidding. He looked at her like, "WTF? Candid camera?"
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

She's studying to be a SCIENCE TEACHER.
I look forward to the kind of magical thinking fuckery she will be teaching Michigan's youth, like how Japan could have avoided the tsunami by having its entire population jump into the air at the precise moment of the earthquake.

I just slapped my forehead so hard I'm sure some of my brains landed in her head.
Wanna borrow my cluestick? It's got a nice heft...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita, trying popping popcorn in bacon grease instead of oil or butter
I air pop. I may reconsider that. My battle against grease is conflicted.

Maybe instead of a cluestick, it is time to use a clueglock. Lorne: "You were never going to be part of the solution."

Popping popcorn in bacon grease! I am reading too tired and too fast and read it as pooping popcorn in bacon grease and I just thought, YUCK.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Will Puppycat do puppy playdates?
Sadly, I don't think so. She's not keen on dogs. And hisses at other cats who are not Kittenish. (She's a joy when I've had to board her, I am sure.)
Well, in a sense, they did know it was coming, and they planned for it fantastically. They have checklists and drills and emergency management plans all over the place.
Ding, ding.
I am so over people being stupid.

(doesn't everyone keep their bacon grease in a bowl in the fridge to cook with?! I am so country still in some ways)
Mine is a classy little glass jar. Which I consider a step up from the coffee can on the fridge of old.
How long does bacon grease keep in the fridge, anyway?
I don't know, it doesn't stay around my house for any length of time.
And it gets all spattery and messy and I have to clean a pan. No thank you.
psst! cook it in the oven on a sheet pan lined with foil. No splatter, and you just throw away the foil.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Interesting.
In a 1990 report, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an independent agency responsible for ensuring the safety of the country’s power plants, identified earthquake-induced diesel generator failure and power outage leading to failure of cooling systems as one of the “most likely causes” of nuclear accidents from an external event.
