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

Oh, yes. Boy cousins. I forget people have those.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In the real world, I think I'm going to walk to the fancy smoke/gift shop around the corner and see if they sell any, and then pick from those.

Me too! He's my only one on both sides, including my generation and their kids. Oh wait, there is a boy child of a first cousin of mine in California. See? I forget!

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

Just curious. They have pretty much the same (multitudinous) offerings, I think.

Man, I used to love selling swiss army knives. So many fiddly options to choose between.

I know my mom was taught to make martinis for my grandfather, although in our house bartending consisted of getting my dad a beer from the fridge (which we certainly did very young). Just not a cocktail kind of household. I feel like people mention that kind of things in a "ha, ha, of course we don't do that" tone these days.

And I realize that I have never taken the legal drinking age seriously, that's just the culture I grew up in, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me on corkscrews appropriateness.

I wish I could get one that wasn't ginormous with scissors, phillips head, and a corkscrew, but I think that is not possible.

They pay me in WOIMS

Take a look at Leatherman tools, Jesse.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Go Victorinox, choose Victorinox.

I still have my old Super Tinker, but my regular pocket knife for the last ten years has been a Leatherman Squirt S4.

I don't like how the Leatherman looks so much, but I guess it's not about that, huh?

Yeah, for all three I think you start to get pretty massive. The corkscrew and the phillips head each takes up more space than most blades.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I wish that I'd discovered this a month ago: Cryomax Coldpack (from Target). Advertised to last 8 hours. I'd be happy with any non-leaky coldpack that lasted more than twenty minutes. Now I'm on hour two without having had to put it back in the freezer. And that's been my issue with icing my ankle: nothing lasts long enough, have to wait for it to rechill, forget from the waiting, or don't bother cuz it doesn't last long enough.

Bring on the frostbite, baybee!
