Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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

I think most people drink when they're thirsty

I'm thirsty right now and I have a carafe (half full) a bottle (2/3 full), a mug (1/3 full), and a cup (3/4 full, marvel at my variety) and I'm not drinking anything because I also want to pee and don't want to get up.

I am probably not the most stupid person not drinking right now, but there might be clamour for second best.

Barring extenuating circumstances which may complicate matters, I think most people drink when they're thirsty.

Because books.

Don't they know that sitting is what is killing us all?!?!?!?!?!

That was a topic for writers consider on our white board for a long time: SITTING KILLS!!! Written just like in bright red marker, too.

Ah, but sitting is good for customer support.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Teppy, is that where yours came from?

No, actually (and this might have an extra element of interest to you, tommyrot), my klein bottle was 3D printed by Shapeways, as was my mobius bacon.

A Klein bottle would make an exquisite wine decanter.

Acme Klein bottles does make one, but it's apparently really hard to get liquids out of them, because it can get vapor locked.

I should probably go pee. I've been known to put this off until I go home, but it's clear no actual work will get done until I'm bladder-voided.

Honestly, if I could get HR to pay for it, I'd get one. As it is I have a standing desk. (Electric! Buttons to raise and lower it! Why is there no flamethrower button?)

I think most people drink when they're thirsty

I keep a selection of bitters at my desk, because work has free fizzy water. I no longer keep the coffin flask of bittersweet chocolate vodka at my desk, because the situation at work right now would drive me to constantly refilling it, and that's probably a bad idea.

ION, you know what would make me happy? If the grilled cheese food truck turned up every day.

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

my klein bottle was 3D printed by Shapeways,

Oh yeah, I remember that now.

I'm impressed that the Acme Klein bottle company has the due diligence to make sure their bottles won't dissolve in Jello. That's proper American ingenuity there.
