Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Random strangers on the internet who say you can trust random strangers on the internet?

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

I just heard an interesting story on NPR. It was about a gay Christian who was talking about his book he wrote regarding his search for Jesus. He was much more patient about the Westborough Baptist Church then I am and overall sounded pretty reflective and kind. FYI to anyone here interested.

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

I unfollowed someone on Tumblr because their idea of funny was twenty five flashing animated GIFs with Misha Collins' face superimposed on everything, and I doubt I'll remember to add them back. I have fallen for one online link, and almost reposted it before I realised that today it's a prank--tomorrow it will be a joke, so I'll do it then, maybe.

I brought some of the cookie press product into work--the ones that didn't break, and they're harder to get rid of than they should be. But I did find one guy whose birthday it was, so five of those suckers gone at once. Apparently "hey! I have birthday cookies for you!" startles people.

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

Is it just me, or is ThinkGeek's April Fools Day selections a little disappointing this year?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The car decal is perfection to me.

I know! I would buy the hell out of that. (As opposed to just buying it. Just buying stuff is for chumps.)

Nothing is working right, I have a massive rash or huge dry skin patch all over my throat, I woke up too damned early and bleah.
