She presumably typed that with a straight face.
I assume they wait for each issue of the journal with bated breath, praying it will bring another installment of their favorite author's work.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Wow, pie flashback.

When come back, bring pie chart.

I hope it's this pie chart.

I might fight the senior editors to get that one left in.

Bahahahaha, the author emailed me and said "I have written to the editor-in-chief to request a waiver of a misguided rule. I know that you were only following orders, but omitting this figure hinders research."
Again, this is a PIE CHART. I mean, complex figures do exist (and we hatessss them, yes we do), and I could understand her outrage if we axed a really complex figure. But this figure is the equivalent of "Dogs: 43%; Cats: 43%; Lizards: 10%; Mothras: 3%; That Thing From The Neverending Story: 1%." WHAT THE SHIT LADY.
This is not a good day to fuck with me.

Why do you hate scientific progress, Steph? I mean, obviously a peon such as you can only follow orders without any kind of independent thought, but that pie chart could save the world. YOU DON'T KNOW.

I am very interested in the research methodology.

ION of "see Connie waste her work day planning vacations" nature: I decided to see what I could do with my trusty standby Vegas and what was indulgent and something I'm likely to be interested in. I don't drink (never got into the habit, watching stupid people in college did not impress me, and most of it tastes horrible and with too many carbs) so swilling cocktails in a limo sounds boring. But Grand Canyon bus tours, now . . . Nearly 50 years since I've seen it, the high desert is gorgeous, and I have a craving for petrified wood.
And to be honest, I like being coddled. Walk into a hotel and have my whims catered to. Yes, I am so far still a tourist, not a traveler.
