Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm actually thinking I won't get any responses to Q&A. Except from Tim, but you know, love and stuff.

It's been less than a week and I sort of want to throw in the towel before I get too invested to the point of lighting things on fire.

This day will not end. It just won't.

I was thinking of Plei today, after a long Batman conversation.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, you know phrases like, "Holy crap!" or "Holy cow!" or "OMG!"? Used in the sense of, "Holy crap, that was a great movie!" Or "Holy cow, that dog just spoke to me!"

What is the term for those phrases? "Exclamation" isn't quite right.

Also, my launch was delayed. Did I tell you guys about my GRAIL launch? [link]

TO THE MOON.

Interjection, I think.

I am singing Schoolhouse Rock in my head as we speak. "Interjection! Excitement! And Emotion!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Aww, yeah. I, too, went to my Favorite Schoolhouse! Schoolhouse Rock!

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

Interjection, I think.

Yeah. Or "Stuff Robin would say."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

msbelle made me snort.

(But because so many of my coworkers are in their 50s or 60s, I'm still seen as young. Sigh)

Yeah, that's a problem in my field, too. The g.d. baby boomers refuse to retire.

Ann, that's a ferret.

In South Central Wisconsin in the '60s and '70s, "pop" was the usual word. I remember hearing "soda" sometimes, but it was definitely the minority word.

I tend to say "Coke," which I picked up during my time in North Carolina.

Ha! I like msbelle's answer. Took me a second... why is sending stuff to the moon blasphemous?

Also, question, why is it taking 3 1/2 months to get there? What's the advantage? I assume there is one. I am so lazy, I just skimmed and came back here with my questions rather than trying to figure it out. Pathetic.
