I've been waiting for William to weigh in on those animals he'd surely heard of!
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
They can't drag the whole beast home and portion it out there?
They don't go around killing beasties much bigger than they can fit in their mouth anyway. Grouse and waterfowl is about as big as they go. They're not pack animals, and their canines are pretty unimpressive. (Plant matter forms a large part of their diet, more than most dogs.)

I seriously thought the tanuki was a creature from Japanese mythology, not a real world animal.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Holy crap, every one I work with is being irritating today. Insanely irritating.

I am so glad I'm a human.

Me too! Isn't there one in Discount Armageddon/Midnight Blue-Light Special? The bartender? (Paging P-C!)

Veggies, good for you, with the vitamin C and whatnot. Calcium, good for your bones and teeth and whatnot. Sounds like a good lunch to me! (My dinner Saturday night was 2 margaritas, so maybe don't take nutrition advice from me.)

Sorry, yes, it is a fruit, despite the crowd it hangs around with.
(I have a co-worker who delights in correcting me every time I call a tomato a vegetable. And yet I persist.)
t edit I gotta ask: is that a thing?* Do alla y'all refer to a tomato as a fruit, or a vegetable?
*(And by "thing," I understand the anatomy of a tomato and why that puts it in the fruit category. By "is that a thing?", I don't mean "Is the tomato really a fruit?" I mean "Do a lot of people really refer to it as a fruit?")

So I finally applied for unemployment. Which is really fucking difficult! (Yes, I'm lucky never to have to do it before.) Even with all my paystubs and copies of last year's taxes, I still had to do a lot of quick math, and I'm sure I got some of it wrong.
I don't know how people unfamiliar with big bureaucracies manage to get through the process--it's really intimidating.
