That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

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

I have never gone to Harlem in ermine and pearls, and I don't intend to.

I thought we were gentrifying Harlem just so we could do this without repercussion?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

My friends in Tuscaloosa have lost their home and their cats are missing bur the humans are unharmed. Terrifying.

Oh that's horrible, lisah. I hope the cats just went into hiding from the giant vacuum cleaner from the sky.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Only if it's faux-ermine though.

Punishingly Intricate

I hope so too, Frank. Also, that the husband didn't lose to many of his tools. He's a metalsmith (made our wedding rings). I dont know if he has a separate studio space or not. His wife, who is a printmaker and professor, does and it was not affected so that's something.

I just walked up to someone's desk and they were sleeping. I hightailed it out of there. I do not want to be the person that wakes him up. Too much contagious embarrassment.

I don't like these chocolate chips in my brownie. They're throwing off the texture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That kind of thing is fine for non-tramp ladies, of course.

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

That kind of thing is fine for non-tramp ladies, of course.

What about unstamped tramps?

ita, you need to do the person a service. I would turn around and walk about 3 yards, then come back loud talking walking very slowly (perhaps in my cell phone). They should wake up before you get there.

Oooh, tommy has a point. I was about to say I don't think I ever use the word tramp, but in the compound "tramp stamp". Hmm. But yeah, I would totally laugh at a friend and say "You BRAZEN HUSSY!" but can't imagine calling a friend a tramp?

ETA: ita, I would go back to my desk and call them, hoping the phone ringing would wake them up

Sort of along the lines of tramp stamp, should I email someone to let them know that their use of "paddy wagon" on a website is offensive?
