I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

do not have any other commitments (personal or professional) that will interfere with their work at the Press (family obligations, writing, involvement with other organizations, degrees to be finished, holidays to be taken, weddings to attend in Rio, etc.)

Yeah, I'm fairly sure at least some of this violates anti-discrimination laws. Like "you can't have this job if you have a family" for instance.

Pro Tip - if you are aiming for satire, make sure you sound funny and not like an actual asshole!

Apparently Dalkey Press is in Ireland, not the US, so I don't know what employment laws would apply. It would be hard in the US to sell that as an actual internship, since there's self-evidently no educational benefit to the intern.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, Louis CK and Matt LeBlanc were in the same high school class. What???

OK, and thanks to the comments there, I learned that Beth Riesgraf is Pilot Inspektor Lee's mother. I had no idea!

I am learning all kinds of celebrity facts while I avoid doing my job today.

Because books.

Pilot will forever be the name of Rochester's dog. To me, anyway. I like to think Jason Lee was the one responsible for that name.

Beth Riesgraf

I have no idea who that is.

On the female FCM, I am one with le nubian.

Yeah, le nubian's got it right. As for the male FCM: Marry Eccleston and go with him on fabulous adventures throughout space and time, and go out for dinner with Glass and Sheppard and listen to lots of dishy behind-the-scenes Firefly stories.

I'm choosing to believe that the at-least-two people who named their daughters Ace are Doctor Who fans and therefore we should not make fun of them. (Or at least, I shouldn't.)

I give no such quarter to the at-least-two people who named their daughters Excel and Fedora.

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