Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, those posts are dupes. And have suckered me into reading about Zoe. Sheeit. We used to yammer in there a lot, huh? Also, I was tetchy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've read like 600+ posts and been very entertained, over this not-so-good day. Thank you all for that.

I love my Hyundai Elantra. The next car I buy will almost certainly be a Hyundai, but maybe a bigger one. Engine-wise, not size-wise. This one is good on mileage, but not so much with the vroom. (And no, this is not a Leverage ad!)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I hate to say this, because it was kind of traumatizing for me, but our voting saga would also make a pretty good This American Life.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The only downside is that the job is 76 miles (one way) away from my house. We are thinking hard about buying a Prius.

Are you going to be commuting over Monument Hill? If so, 4WD is worthwhile.

My trip from Lakewood CO to Yellowstone two summers ago with my aunt and uncle was in their Escape hybrid. Fourteen hundred miles with four adults, a full load of luggage, mostly freeway driving with some significant up- and down-grades, and we averaged 31.5 MPG.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ahem. If Bryar leaves MCR, it will be because he cannot play anymore. He loves that band, he credits it with saving his life, and he is a loyal motherfucker. Since I don't want Bobert to be in pain and unable to do the thing he loves the most, he cannot be unable to play, and therefore he is not leaving the band. So say I.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Juliana is a sage.

OK, and since the ONLY TAL I have ever listened to (I know, I'm a philistine) was in the car the other day, and it was the producers (writers?) doing a show about "Shows Our Parents Thought Would Make Good Shows And We Laughed At Them", and they kept talking about how all their friends and parents would always be like "This would make a good episode!" and really it wouldn't, I find this extra funny.

Trust my rage

Yes, although I'm not sure there are any good mileage cars with 4WD. But we will keep our Homda Pilot (my favorite car ever) as our 2nd car and I can drive that on predicted snowy days.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

the ONLY TAL I have ever listened to (I know, I'm a philistine) was in the car the other day, and it was the producers (writers?) doing a show about "Shows Our Parents Thought Would Make Good Shows And We Laughed At Them", and they kept talking about how all their friends and parents would always be like "This would make a good episode!" and really it wouldn't

That's right up there in awesomeness with my first Buffy episode being "Dopplegangland" and Jessica's being "Superstar." Meta mirrorverse for the win!
