Re: Shark, with laser...
“If there was a way the shark could operate the laser on its own accord and use it against humans, we wouldn’t even attempt this.”
Heh.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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 miss estate sales, they don't have them here in Utah. I think all of a person's stuff just gets divided among the kids or sent to the LDS church thrift store, where it's picked over for good stuff then the rest distributed to their own stores.

Because books.
Any old children's books in there, Holli?

I imagine I'll retire in about 28-30 years, assuming the elderly aren't sent to refineries to make oil by that point.

Ack! Friendly neighborhood dogs rolled in something dead and then came running into our office to share.

Any old children's books in there, Holli?
Most of them, actually. Let's see. The Story of Siegfried from the 30s, a 50s Alice in Wonderland, a Milne collection, something called Cinderella's Garden from the 20s, The Velveteen Rabbit, an Aesop's Fables from the 40s, Stuart Little, the Secret Garden, and The Book of Cowboys, which is from the 30s and has a fantastic dust jacket.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
do you note that for a specific reason, or is this the way your day has been going?
It's my day. My boss is not nearly as competent as she thinks she is. She insists on being Kept In The Loop on everything, which results in everything being harder than it needs to be, because she inserts herself into every situation and complicates it by "helping facilitate".
I can't see myself working this job until I'm 67. I want to retire at 62 with reduced benefits. Actually I want to retire at 59 and survive on the meager income from my retirement funds until I can start getting the meager sum from Social Security. My mortgage will be paid off by the time I'm 55, and I'm not a big spender, so I should be able to survive. Maybe I'll write a Hollywood-ified version of my memoirs and get some money from the movie rights.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
