I want to mention that I advised sarameg against naming her cat after Loki.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Loki also wears a fetching pair of horns.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The giving birth to an eight-legged horse thing was definitely not in the movie. I'm pretty sure there would've been freaky-assed fic about that.

Punishingly Intricate
I named Swifty "Swifty" because he seemed kind of slow when I first met him at the Greensboro SPCA. You know, like how a big guy would be nicknamed "Tiny!"

I'm gonna pretend that sarameg's cat is fandom's new woobie. It helps me feel better about their life choices, you know?

I want to mention that I advised sarameg against naming her cat after Loki.
I also objected. I think I even told the story about my friend who named the computers in a network after norse gods, and the Loki one never worked right.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmet has done better at Quinceneara than I have done at most of the F2Fs.
Most. But not all.
Tom, you'll appreciate this. You know that scene in Korra where Bolin went on a noodle bender and Makko had to collect him and he was blubbeing, "You're a bad idea!"
Emmett is Bolin.
Except he's also like Finn in the "Hug Wolf" episode of Adventure Time.

Allyson, DH shares your never-tiring-of the LL Cool J.
msbelle, I've sworn Owen to a life-time of using his powers for good, not evil. I think he took me too seriously because I believe he cleared my cookies on this laptop. He's been reading about internet privacy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Note to Mycroft Cat: No running a shadow British government from your club, at least not if you expect to get medical attention for it.
Our cat Toke lives up to her name. (Well, no actual pot-smoking occurs, as far as we know [although we might need to start videotaping her during the day while we're at work, JUST TO BE SURE], but she acts stoned, including perpetual munchies, 24/7.)
Kato -- named after the Pink Panther character, but spelled differently for some reason -- does tend to ambush us unexpectedly, but has not yet run a brothel.
AS FAR AS WE KNOW.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Emmet has done better at Quinceneara than I have done at most of the F2Fs.
Same here.
Emmett has done better at the Q than I did during my entire teenage years. No lie.
Same here.
Emmett has done as well as I have during my entire life.
At least there I've got him beat. So far.
