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

I can't envision a nacho fountain, and I find I don't want to.

I still can't think of anything other than pictures right now. It's almost creeping me out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Steph, did you see that the guy who gay-bashed my friend in Covington got convicted last week?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

No! Right on! That is excellent.

Indeed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ginger--Just shows that people are happy to think France is arrogant and selfish as a nation without needing any actual proof.

Freedom fries!

There was a local news story this morning about finding radiation from Japan in some water, but not enough to matter, and not in the drinking water reservoirs.

I heard the same thing here, with a promo saying "Concern rises as radiation spreads farther than expected." Detectable isotopes are expected to spread over most of the world. Tiny, tiny amounts, but detectable. It's like Jayne's "Ten percent of nothing is — let me do the math here. Nothing into nothin'. Carry the nothin'..."

Ginger, you would be horrified to learn that my local listserv is freaking out because they just learned that Walter Reed had a (medical) nuclear reactor on site (decommissioned in 1972), and you know we cannot trust the gov't to tell us the truth about these things, and no one is thinking of the children.

Sparky, you have an uncle who would be pleased to speak to these people and ease their concerns about ... ok he'd be pleased to be all superior. Plus he needs a hobby.

Yeah, it just feels to me like, how you say? Not news.

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

How much do I love that Ginger can not only keep us informed about the radiation (non-)threat, but use Firefly quotes to do it?

SO VERY MUCH!
