It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Msbelle, I think you're due to cash in some some really good karma.

Stage managers are so good at keeping us informed:

Thursday an advertising campaign for an herbal supplement infused beverage from Solixir is planning staged "outbreaks" where zombie characters will swarm several L stops.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't want an herbal supplement that will turn me into a zombie. I don't think. Maybe there are upsides I haven't considered.

...and I also forgot my allergy meds. Man, remembering an umbrella means I forget everything else, I guess.

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

msbelle, I'm so sorry. I'd like to lock our respective bosses into a room with a hungry lion.

Here's to both of us getting jobs that don't make us miserable. I just need to get this resume updated. It should not be taking this long or be this difficult.

Yes, brenda is there.

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

Thursday an advertising campaign for an herbal supplement infused beverage from Solixir is planning staged "outbreaks" where zombie characters will swarm several L stops.

One of these days, a fake zombie outbreak and a real zombie outbreak will happen at the same time and place.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Because books.

Your boss is an ass, but this too shall pass.

This could be the start of a great limerick.

It really sounds like the one guy there is the true asshole, msbelle. Which is a shame -- I never understand why people like that aren't the ones let go.

Resume~ma to all, especially Theo, Consuela, msbelle, and Maria.

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

Do you agree that she might be the most famous anonymous face of our time? I hadn't realised she's not anonymous anymore (just a year after the previous NPR article). One of my friends in university was obsessed with her.

Because books.

I think she's probably as iconic as the woman in the famous Depression-era photo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I knew who it was before I clicked, so yeah.

Yes, I would agree.
