Timelies all!
Meh. I have this stupid congestion/coldish thing. My nose is sore from blowing/wiping it so much. Ugh.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Co-worker just prairiedogged. He says it's a real term. I think it sounds like pron. I much prefer meerkatted. Of course, said co-worker told another one to "just suck on it" (in reference to chocolate, quite innocently) and seemed quite pron-deaf when other co-worker tried ragging him on it.
Hmm. Actually, all in favour of work pron-deafness. But mostly I favour pron-interpretation-avoidance.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Co-worker just prairiedogged. He says it's a real term.
I've heard that term ages ago. Like in pre-mass-adoptance-of-internet days....
Is adoptance a word?
eta: Perhaps I read "prairiedogging" in a Douglas Coupland book?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Prairiedogging is definitely a real term. And not at all dirty.
Unless you have a dirty mind.

Imma stick with meerkatting. Also I'm going to recommend he just not do it, because it freaks me out. He's very quick and silent.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I like meerkating more too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That's why the penalty for the crime goes way up if the perpetrator moves you during a robbery. But I don't remember the distance or the increase in maximum sentence.
Sounds like kidnapping to me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

For some reason I don't remember that coming up explicitly. But it sure sounds like it--if you move me across the street at gunpoint to better take my wallet, what's the diff?
It's cool having the place run by an ADA, because we'd get a lot of case-related info and legal nuggets. I just haven't retained all of them.
