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

It demonstrably has situations and comedy.

Yes, it is that simple.

IO9 is in a pissy mood today. A user just got banned for pointing out the misuse of the word cameo. Oops. But they were right.

I have no ept today. I need ept.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

A Clockwork Orange is such a colorful sitcom!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

(I use baking soda. I'm a smelly hippie.)

Paul uses the baking soda/shikakai mixture I used to use before my hair got long enough to need regular oilings and went to a "whatever gets me through the week" routine (which is usually some variation of a shampoo bar with an acid rinse, or soapnuts using the foam method).

He also uses Tom's of Maine Woodspice for the pits, and one of the Lush hand creams at night. When he does wear cologne, it's some DKNY stuff I got him a few years ago.

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

I'm sorry for your loss, Gud.

How to dig jive talk

A hipster is a character who likes hot jazz.

Last night I almost lushed myself to all ends. (Booze on the 96th floor of the Hancock building.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Management techniques I despise: (1) use of the word "we" when what it really means is "you, peons," as in "we really need to get on schedule [even though you peons are the ones who actually do the editing and I do nothing except update a chart and leave early every day]." And its variation (2) use of the word "we" to intimate a group effort when, in fact, only one person can do/has done the job in question, for instance (a) to imply that you did something you did not do at all, or (b) to imply that *everyone* will be working on something that is your job and your job alone.

Seriously, it just makes us (the peons) have greater disdain for you.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I generally use "we" when I'm dealing with a partner company and want to avoid saying "YOU people are a bunch of fuckups." See also: passive voice!

In short, I would like to be independently wealthy, starting now.
