Amy, the people who lived on the corner near the strip mall that contained the only stores in all of my hometown had the same problem with us kids. They ended up putting a little flower/rock garden thing in that corner and surrounded it with a white picket fence that extended about four feet out on each side of the corner. That took care of the kids driving through their lawn.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Surely so. I'd find the experience stressful and unpleasant, and I'm in full possession of my faculties.
ha!

Addled with dementia might possibly be the best headspace in which to encounter Sarah Palin. But it's still a ridiculous notion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can I rant about Apple for a second? Why do they have all different kinds of connectors for different models?? A coworker just had to borrow my "dongle," so I can't use my external monitor, even though I have a spare dongle in my desk, because it's from an older computer and doesn't work with this kind. Annoying. Also, why do we call them dongles?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do you want to call them?

I don't know -- connector thingies? Apparently I never had a need to call them anything before I started working 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.
Well, as Apple laptops got smaller, they had to come out with smaller and smaller video connectors.

How is that an improvement on dongles?
Looks like the tech that worked on my computer the other day shut down the wireframe program without saving my document. Fuck. Back to drawing board.

Hardly at all! Slightly less dirty-sounding?

Don't they know how inconvenient this is for me? And everyone else in my office, every time we are running all over the damn place looking for the right dongle?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The word "dongle" makes me giggle. Especially since the director at the theatre refers to some sort of jump drive he wears around his neck as his "dongle".
