I have two questions of differing importance:
- Does Khloé Kardashian pronounce her name cloe-ay?
- Does anyone know anyone who has been hurt by closing elevator doors? Should I not be throwing myself between them so willy nilly?
Okay, that was three.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
my gramma lost a boot to an escalator and spent the rest of her life terrified of the things. Don't know any elevator door injuries. The new ones have sensors so they will stay open of there's an obstruction, but i am a little wary of older elevator doors.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I once got a truly spectacular bruise from an elevator door that slammed closed on me (it started closing as I was getting on the elevator and I put my arm up and, after hitting me really hard, it opened again). My arm was all kinds of interesting colors from wrist to elbow. Our HR person photographed it as evidence to get building management to do something about the elevators.

information libertarian
Khloe Kardashian pronounces it KLOWE-ee. Signed, that one time I flew across the US and there was a TV in my seat, I totally watched six episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Home. It's 4 hours door to door. I miss the boys.
And by god, the cooler than usual pool felt good on my sunburn. Had to line the straps up just as they were when I got burnt.

What's this about a possible serial killer?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
This is notable, because Cass and I don't talk on the phone. We're texters, the both of us.
I liked that we didn't discuss it on the phone. It was discovered and we reverted to text. As is right and proper in our world.
Does anyone know anyone who has been hurt by closing elevator doors?

Though, truly, that was more of an open elevator door issue.

I can't believe I know who you mean after all this time.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Heh. It was one of the best (i.e. unexpected) character deaths ever.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
my gramma lost a boot to an escalator and spent the rest of her life terrified of the things.
Because escalators are horrible awful machines that house a green monster. I don't know why no one believes me when I tell them these things! They are a hidden menace.
