Somewhere there are Philistinians who are very offended with this turn of phrase, I'll have you know.
I'll apologize to the first 10 or so who text me.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dana posted it in Fic, and I had to crosspost it to Procedural just because of all the shows it was talking about, plus the explicit NCIS:LA manpain shoutout.
But is it recent or really old?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But is it recent or really old?
The spate seems recent, including when I saw it on LJ. I'm not sure what the source is. Dana probably knows. She knows things.

Dick Cheney is just wrong.

It's from about a week ago. Ancient in fannish terms!
It was also linked in metafandom, or the discussion that spawned it was.
The Daily Mail is the unthinkiest linkiest paper. I could click around their right hand navigation photos forever, and I don't know a third of those people. But I'm coming up to speed.
Yeah, no shit.

Oh, good. I thought it was from, like, a year ago or something. I'm glad I'm not TOO behind the curve.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Me-OW! Cat survives outage-causing run-in
CARROLLTON, Ill. - A cat went from meow to ow when officials say it accidentally made contact with a substation's fuse, causing an outage to about 1,500 homes and businesses in southwestern Illinois.
The feline apparently survived the encounter early Monday in the Greene County city of Carrollton.
Workers responding to the outage found the cat still on the ground several feet from where it apparently touched the fuse. An Ameren spokeswoman says the animal eventually managed to get up and walk away.
Most of the affected Ameren customers had their power restored within hours.
