We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

They don't go around killing beasties much bigger than they can fit in their mouth anyway.

I am so glad I'm a human.

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it possible for me to make a joke about tomatoes being trans*? Scientists might say they are a fruit, but they definitely live life as a vegetable.

Yup. And people with poor educations and mental health problems and etc.! It's a miracle anyone ever gets anything.

Right? Solidarity!

(Okay, I shouldn't assume you are pro-tomato-as-veggie. But I will.)

"Do a lot of people really refer to it as a fruit?"

Only people trying to be annoyingly pedantic, IME. I mean, yes it is technically a fruit, but functionally, it is a de facto vegetable.

(Here is a special exception where any level of pedantry is okay by me.)
