You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Jesus Christ, I was gone for almost a week and asked my coworker to do ONE THING.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am in no way defending Trump, and we clearly avoided naming our elevators white or black, but it does seem like the idea might have been a red, white and blue theme, and it was thoughtless.

It sort of reminds me of when we renovated a floor at work. On all the plans, the adjust faculty office was labeled Faculty "Specials". Yes, with the quotes. That is because they are processed on a special payroll form.

Then the sign-maker made the sign for the door- in huge letters Faculty "Specials"! I can't really believe no one stopped that, but it amused me for a really long time to walk by it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I literally didn't even think of red, white, and blue. Apparently I am not a patriot after all.

Oh, man, today is going to be hard to get through without snarling at things.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

When I was in college, a favored prank was to steal the "l" from the sign for the Office of Public Information.

I am so sorry Dana. At least you saw Daveed Diggs!

My library e-book collection is STILL recommending me children's books, like Curious George.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I know that feel, Dana. My back-up person did nothing while I was "on vacation", as far as I could tell.

What I read was that they had color-coded the elevators red, white, and blue, and no one thought about it until they got embarrassed.

I'm disproportionately angry about it.

Our wings are not tired.

and no one thought about it until they got embarrassed.

Pretty much the same thing happened when they chose their candidate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Laura FTW.

It's one thing to paint the elevator doors in a color code or have different color signs that simply say "elevator" but what they did shows that there are no critical thinkers in the room at all.
