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

It is fascinating, but it's also incredibly sad. Especially when it's Munchausen by Proxy for real, not just internet stories.

Yeah. In the Warrior Eli case there's lots of people who have cancer themselves who wasted time and energy dealing with her. A lot of people were very emotionally vulnerable when they met and befriended Eli.

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

But I don't recall anyone saying anything until after he "died."

Well, not here, no. Because he was here.

It would have to be huge for me to think it worth it to disrupt the community because of suspicions that may or may not play out, and for which I don't have proof. I totally understand avoiding that sort of confrontation.

Hell, it was contentious after he left. Imagine the ruckus if someone had challenged him here?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Well, also, we were had previously had a very contentious episode with a community member who suspected a new community member was someone (perhaps the only person) we ever banned. The person with suspicions ended up leaving on a very bad note, and later it turned out he was correct. I can't imagine anyone bringing it up after that.

Also, we know the story wasn't that it was a were-monkey, just a regular monkey. right? Which seems ridiculous, but not as impossible as a were-monkey.

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

In non-were monkey news, the building management of my office park has starting bringing in food trucks twice a week. Today's was Thai food, and it was really good, but now I want to eat all the Thai food in the world, even though I just finished lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I suspected a lot of his stories had to be exaggerated for effect

Sure, and really, who cares? Until we do!

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

Also, we know the story wasn't that it was a were-monkey, just a regular monkey. right?

The joke was the he had been turned into a were-monkey, after being bitten by a regular one.

Yes- I was just afraid that the people who weren't around thought the joke part was what we believed!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

No, I got that, but I always thought the monkey bite was code for something.
