Wow, context is going to be very very helpful in this instance, isn't it? Because I have no idea what to make of that statement.

Muahahahaha - and I quoth, from "Heroics for Beginners":

The Overlord stood in the center of the room, his head thrown back in silent laughter, his arms raised above his head, his fists clenched in that famous, overly dramatic gesture known to theatre students everywhere as "milking the giant cow".

That's wonderful, CaBil!

Voltmeter is me, except he's tall.

Does the book also have an Ammeter? Can they be defeated by Multimeter?

Ah, all is clear now. Also known as "we're about a minute away from needing to bop him with the big squishy mallet again, aren't we?"

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

Oh, how funny, that's actually what I was picturing. Though I was thinking dance move, not pose

No indeed. It does have an Ancient Artifact (Model 7), and the protagonist is Prince Kevin Timberline. The villain is Evil Overlord (recently upgraded from Evil Schoolteacher) Voltmeter, "He Who Must Be Named".

Also known as "we're about a minute away from needing to bop him with the big squishy mallet again, aren't we?"

Hey!

The pet DJ played "Build The Robots" on Saturday night, but it felt very odd to be dancing to it without the StuntHusband.

Hey! That's a thought. (ponders)

If it weren't so slow, I'd get Doug-the-DJ to play "Ode to Revenge" by Doctor Steel; it has many, many moments worthy of milking the giant cow.

Ahahaha. I did my wordcount math wrong previously. But now I'm about 1k words away from being done. Then I get to take a little break, eat dinner, and then dive into the re-write.

Congrats Vortex and family!

Yay CaBil!

I had a very long day today. I've also concluded that I shouldn't show any of my results to my advisor until I've written them up and edited the writing about five times, because even when I email him something and explicitly say "This is just a really rough write-up, but I thought this was an interesting result and wanted your thoughts on whether it's a good path to be looking at" or something like that, what I get from him are comments on my writing. This is going to end up taking me more time -- having to proofread and edit everything makes it kind of difficult to really bounce ideas around, and I know that I'll end up taking time to write up a bunch of totally useless stuff -- but it's got to be better than dealing with a lecture about my writing skills every time I meet with him.
