And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My main use for paper towels is for pressing tofu or draining fried things (bacon, etc).

Our wings are not tired.

Right - greasy stuff that wouldn't come out easily in the wash (I don't make bacon or anything that produces grease in the kitchen).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Really? The grandmother in A Good Man is Hard to Find is a great example of someone who wants to appear like a "good Christian" despite not actually acting like one. Pretty salient these days.

Yeah, but that's almost a tossed off bit of irony on Flannery's part, barely more than an arched eyebrow. The story is about grace.

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

It turns out that Scott Lee Cohen (D), the Democratic nominee for Lt. Governor in Illinois, has more extensive problems than were reported yesterday.

Impressive, Illinois Democrats. Blago just wasn't good enough for you, was he?

Hey, I didn't vote for him. I want to know why the media came out with all of this the day after the election. Isn't this their job? Once the tv/radio ads and the mailings started, it was obvious that he would have the most name recognition.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I used the microfiber cloths for pressing tofu last night! I wouldn't use it for bacon, but for cleaning a grease mess, sure.

Wow, if Gene Roddenberry knew about microfiber cloths we'd never have to hear about reversing the polarity and tachyon fields for his technobabble plot solutions.

"Captain! We can't do Warp 43!"
"Wrap the dilithium crystal in microfiber cloth and punch it!"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They make you say "WOW!" every time!

Funny, you don't look wow-ish.

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

"Wrap the dilithium crystal in microfiber cloth and punch it!"

Can you wrap reality in microfiber and punch it too?

hip deep in pie

I may have just offered my house to my friend for his post wedding party. Eek!
