My coworker just sent me that link, Consuela. What lovely dogs.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Were you at the SFF2F?
Yep. Although I had a bad cold so I napped a lot in my hotel room.

move out and draw fire
So far I've explained that Mommies have lots of eggs inside them and sometimes one can grow into a baby
So, I went with this plan (although I did include the menfolk as we'd been watching a lot of BBC nature docs, so he knew two birds or fish or whatever were required).
Then a couple days ago, Mal asked some neighbors who just got a puppy if they'd gotten her fixed or were they going to let her lay eggs.
The neighbors laughed, but later I was like "Dude, WTF? You know mammals don't lay eggs." to which he responded "You said that the girl animal contributes an egg and the boy animal contributes sperm!"
So yeah.

Yes, my children have also experienced confusion about mammalian eggs. Possibly relatedly, a chat with my sister recently caused me to Google the phrase, "Do birds have a penis?" If only I'd had billytea around! (The answer: no, except for waterfowl and ostriches. Now you know.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The answer: no, except for waterfowl and ostriches. Now you know.
You did know about the duck corkscrew dicks, right?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am now from the desert (obviously fictional! nobody lives in the desert)
Coyote is from the desert. And coyote is a TRICKSTER. ::squints at Liese::
Note also that the 2003 and 2004 Civic Hybrids had a recall on their O2 sensors (part of the catalytic convertor).
Yes, I got that letter. I'm having them check that, as well, and give me an estimate on fixing/replacing the splashguards under my car which have gotten shredded since I moved here.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just received a report of a patient who died three times, and since death is still ongoing, we expect a fourth death any day now.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Midwesterners aren't real. We're just constructs.
Speaking just for me -- I grew up in the Midwest, and I'm pretty sure I'm a figment of my imagination.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I just received a report of a patient who died three times, and since death is still ongoing, we expect a fourth death any day now.
So, acute-on-chronic death? Or just a really big difference between mostly dead and all dead?
