Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Oh, I think you have mentioned them before, Toddson. That's Kafkaesque. Or maybe Orwellian.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

We have a "Strategic Communications" team that refuses to share information with the rest of the staff.

I guess technically that's a strategy.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

-t actually, it's more like a Kafkaesque satire on Orwell.

(5 points for anyone that gets the reference)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I guess technically that's a strategy.

Dana beat me to it.

Our wings are not tired.

Our strategic communication is more like me yelling, "Are you listening to me?" across the house to DH. We try meetings from time to time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Speaking of Kafka-esque and Orwellian, I had a moment the other day that was slightly weird and I thought...."This feels Charlie Kaufmann-esque." Not Fellini-esque. Not Lynchian. Kaufmannesque.

[I was in line at TJ's and the woman in front of me was a slender woman with red-auburn hair and yoga pants. And I looked to the left and there was a woman of exact same typology - same reddish brown hair, same length, similar mask, yoga pants. And I felt certain if I looked to the right or behind me, I would be surrounded by the Auburn Lululemons.]

That sounds like a situation where you would really want to know what genre you are in

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats on the grandkid, Laura!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like a large drink, a slice of cake the size of my head, and no meetings for the rest of the week.

I feel that SO HARD. Luckily, I only have... four meetings tomorrow on No-Meeting Friday, so that's nice.
