Also, my launch was delayed. Did I tell you guys about my GRAIL launch? [link]
TO THE MOON.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

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

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.
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.

Also, my hair dye is setting at the moment. I think... it may be scarily and ridiculously red. Oh well! I'll just have to fix it to something normal before I join the ship, if it turns out that outrageous. Although, really, as long as it is somewhere within the realm of natural hair color, I don't think they'd have a problem with it. I just think they don't want me to turn up with my hair dyed bright green or something.
