That is scary.
It would have been scary except it happened so fast I was on the ground instantly and I wasn't hurt.
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh but I actually came over here to report that the institution of higher education for which I work apparently has a program which is abbreviated BSDM. That took me quite a few minutes to get past.
I always wonder, when things are named like that (or have suggestive logos, or whatever), is there NO ONE who looked at the name and said, "This might not be the best choice because of other connotations"? Or maybe that person exists but got overruled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, they had to rename the Antonin Scalia School Of Law, right? I think the person gets overruled.
Also also, did you see this thing Sue Bird wrote about her girlfriend? And the World Cup? [link] (I couldn't actually finish it because it's kind of exhausting in its style, but also great.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sure this was only my routine for a couple of years, but I 100% believe that the 4th of July is for watching Wimbledon and then Law & Order.
I used to do Breakfast at Wimbledon for the 4th of July. I didn't do it ironically, but it always kinda seemed intrinsically ironic. I thought about it on Thursday but didn't have the energy.
I hope you have a good safe word picked out, Jesse. Appropriate to the setting and such.
I was coming in here to wail that the aluminum tariffs are forcing price increases on our Bacon Grease Cans, woe! What a strange sentence to think and have make sense.

Coco is literally all I have heard about Wimbledon and that was like a week ago? Days and days, anyway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It is literally the middle of Wimbledon.
Yikes, Hec. Congrats on not hurting yourself more.

People buy Bacon Grease Cans?? What a world.

I don't know that I ever thought of that! But yes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hec! Yikes!

SAME. (More likely, someone noticed but decided it was funny and should stay.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oof, Hec. Keep that shoulder moving some so you're not extra stiff tomorrow.

Hec, glad it wasn't worse! I join in the ice for the achy bits recommendation. It might help.
And, for your SF-related interests, it seems that the Salesforce Transit Center has been nominated for an international architectural award. I think it was based on looks, rather than performance.
