Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You mean besides vodka?
Perhaps because of vodka.
I fondly remember the bus tour we took of Moscow, and the vodka shots they gave us on it. Just like vacationing in the tropics, with the random alcohol. No one ever tries to likker me up like that in the States. I guess I just don't go to the right places.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
You mean besides vodka?
Well, we all know what happens when the alcohol flows in abundance... I wonder if there's an equivalent phrase to "beer goggles" in Russian/Romanian?
I expect it it initially feels irritatingly earnest but quickly sucks you in to pretty heartfelt rage.
Hey, they light water on fire! I know a couple of Buffistas who'd like that.

Is the NFL going to come down on me for having Super Bowl of Chili Sunday?
Oh, yes. Like the FIST OF GOD.
You'll never see it coming.
Maybe Amazon and the NFL can compete in the Super Bowl of Look Who Can Be a Bigger Petty Baby.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have to be careful. Occasionally I post stuff I copied from Natter or Bitches into some code I'm working on. So far, that hasn't happened while my boss is watching....

Remember when Steve Jobs cut McGraw-Hill from his iPad presentation? Neither does anyone else.

Yeah, I gotta make sure b.org doesn't slip into Word docs. But I was really sure I knew what was in my clipboard when I flipped over to Firefox.

If Pete starts hearing "oooh, Appalacia is SO GOTH! We MUST GO! I can have a CASTLE on a MOUNTAIN and the old mine beneath is where I'll keep my gilded cages of pretty people. And My Chem can have a practice space there because its like the Batcave." he's going to kill me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The whole source of amusement from the Amazon thing is that Bezos is trying to act like a badass negotiator like Steve Jobs and completely failing at it.
