Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I got a Shark a few months ago. It works well enough, although nothing but an exorcism is going to make my apartment carpet look truly clean.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I got a shark a few months ago, and it works great. The instruction manual says to clean the filter weekly, which made me realize that I'm probably not their target audience.

What is even happening?

We got one about a month or two ago. I love how it cleans, but while it is self-propelled when it's going forward, I find it heavy, when I'm pulling it back. I was a little concerned about mom getting it, but she's tougher than I am.

Y'all are making me feel like I should shop for a vacuum cleaner. Are you being paid for this??

I've been trying to build a fannish community for myself elsewhere, and while I've made one close friend and have several friendly acquaintances whom I like, mostly the process has just made me appreciate the Buffistas more than ever. The fact that this happened? And we're like this? So many of us? Wow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Get a Shark, flea! Everyone's doing it!

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

Ya bunch of influencers!

That is not something I think about as often as I maybe should, flea. Thanks for the reminder. Our very existence is pretty damn cool.

It's all been a 20-year plot to get you to buy a Shark, though.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Sell a vacuum, earn a toaster? The small appliance market is getting ca-ray-zy!

*Note, I have also been looking at Sharks of late.

Aww, yay flea. Go us!
