Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

Surgery ~ma, Dana!

This noise is bout ta drive me mad. Sounds like a pneumatic jackhammer.

They're working under my trees. If they damage them I'm going on a rampage. Just so you know. Maybe I'll arm myself and take over a wildlife refuge. That's okay now, right? I bet it's quiet at a wildlife refuge.

People who leave less than a cup of coffee in the communal carafe without making a fresh pot should be banned from the commons.

Well, you are white, but you aren't male, so I'm not sure. Might only be half okay.

Hmpf. Probably any white male I could find to back me up in this protest would be unpleasant company. Of course, he would hypothetically have all the guns. My only weapons are an iron skillet, a bayonet, and an Iron Man action figure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, Zen, for what it's worth, you could probably go to a wildlife refuge for the quiet without an armed takeover. Just putting that out there?

Hope surgery is going well, Dana!

Is that even legal?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

New author ridiculousness:

Me: Please provide these data, with the numbers expressed to 2 decimal places PER JOURNAL POLICY.
Author: Do you really want these data?
Me: [looks into the camera like I'm on The Office]

(For real, that is the author's response verbatim.)

I now have to email the author back and say the equivalent of "When I requested those data, I WAS NOT KIDDING, YOU ASS. The fact that I requested the data should have clued you in to the fact that I NEED THE DATA." But, you know, more polite.

brillig

I don't suppose you can phrase it "I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want."
