We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yikes, ita! Glad you got a diagnosis and some time off of work to recover.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, ita, but at least you have a diagnosis.
That. Yikes!

ita, I'm glad you got a diagnosis, and some relief from the nasuea/pain. May the virus in your system have a swift death.
I may stab myself in the eye today. IOW, why must the HR office force us to use these terrible forms when creating/updating position descriptions? And why, when they revise them every damn year, do they not learn to fix the f'ing formatting?

I want. Who wants to be my new best friend?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn, ita. Glad you got a diagnosis.
ION, Coelacanths!
The last picture is my fave:
The coelacanth's slow, graceful stroke is like no other fish's. It moves left pectoral and right pelvic fins, then right pectoral and left pelvic fins—akin to the cross-step of tetrapods. When the expedition team visited in early 2010, the coelacanths ignored the humans, says photographer Ballesta, except the one above: "This is the moment he tried to smile to me."
It's as if it's saying, "So, you humans have been a species for a hundred thousand years or so? You're babies! So, how's that being a new species working out for you? Come talk to me when you're 400 million years old."

Hee, yeah, that last photo makes me want a giant stuffed coelacanth toy.

Well, there's a transforming plush coelacanth, but I don't like it.

Flipping the toy inside-out allows a child to discover the evolved form of the creature
Haven't found any better, non-transforming coelacanths. But now I want to call up a toy store and ask if they have any non-transforming coelacanths, just to confuse them.
