Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You doubt my love? I'm hurt...I also have a rare wasting disease.

Huh. I've never laughed when someone told me they had a wasting disease before.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I dunno. Some people just aren't technically savvy at all, so I can see people falling for this.
They don't have a tea kettle?? I can't imagine the wack-a-doo-ness of people whose first thought when they think "steam" is to get in the shower with their computer!

When I was on the plane, I got sucked into a Law & Order SVU marathon. One of the episodes was about a guy who got off on making people do things (excellently played by Robin Williams). At the time, I thought "who would be stupid enough to strip search an employee on the orders of someone who claimed to be a police officer on the phone?". But, now I wonder . . .

Didn't that actually happen a few years ago? Not exactly that, but something similar, a little while before that episode aired.

Yup - fast food place, manager got a call and was told to have a girl strip and search her, hold her until the police came. And, of course, they never did.
