Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I... can't look at Sad Keanu, because he makes me too sad. I see him, and the meme slides right out of my head and I just want to wrap him up in a billion crocheted blankets and nestle him on a comfy couch with a pot of tea and The Princess Bride.

I am all in favor of Beat The Ever Living Crap Out Of All ita's Doctors Day (Except The Potentially Helpful New One, But He Still Gets The Stinkeye), but that would not be onerous at all; if anything, too easy and much too pleasurable.

Shoving them into vacant buildings might be onerous.

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

Yet you put it where the Internet could get it...

Right??

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

I didn't eat any of the bacon, but I had a sip, and without it, the bloody Mary was tasty.

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

I'm not allowed to draw in meetings, so I decided that meant I should sit as far away from my boss as possible, and draw really teeny things I can hide under my pencil.

Perfectly sensible, right?

Why is there an elf in my meeting notes?

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

These robot vacuums work together to clean floors at all times

Compared to these conceptual robotic puppy vacuum cleaners dreamed up by Hyun-Seok Kim, a Roomba seems rather tame. Comprised of four puppy vacs and a "mother unit" these floor cleaners literally "chase" dirt and dust away.

Designed for young couples who are always too busy with work or mingling with friends to clean their own homes, the robo puppy vacs were inspired by a mother dog and her puppies. Robo puppy vacs dispatch from the "mother unit" and then proceed to getting their cleaning funk on. After dirt is collected, the puppy vacs return back to the mother, dump it off and then go back out for more cleaning. The dirt is collected in a standard dust bag and is then easily removed from the mother unit.

Displays on the robo pups let you know if they're functioning properly and can be used to program them to clean while you're out of the house. There's also a "Chasing Mode" that lets the vacs "chase" a wireless key placed in your pocket or around a dog or cat's collar. Wherever you go, the puppy vacs will clean, wiping off footprints from pets, water from rain boots, etc.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ugh, ita. I hope your new doctor can find a way to help.

Jesse, I've never ordered from Zenni, but I've ordered 4 pairs from Coastal Contacts and they fit and look better than the one pair I picked out in person. Their customer service has been great too. They also have a 1 year guarantee--if you don't like them you can return them anytime in the first 365 days.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

how can you ban drawing in meetings?

cognitively, doodling is supposed to help us process information. I can believe that full wall murals should be prohibited, and genitalia, etc., but discreet small doodles in the corner of a page should be okay.
