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

the Russian ice dancers have toned down the offensiveness of their "Aboriginal" routine

Oh, Australian Aborigine. How random. I'd assumed Canadian without further context.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

The Russians looked stupid and culturally tone-deaf.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

They looked like they had raided the false foliage department at Michael's

It was even worse before. This was the toned-down "sensitive" version.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't care much about hockey, but this Canada-U.S. game is pretty exciting.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

On a very separate note, if I wanted to decide to buy a house, anyone got a suggestion about how I would start applying for mortgages? Er.

I'd talk to erin_obscura.

I went through my emails with the broker, and I think everything I mentioned was it. This is what the broker listed. I think we might have added 401K statement:

'07 & '08 w-2's, one month's pay stubs (2 or 4 depending how often you get paid), asset statements (checking, savings, etc).

...recs from bank? Like, the one I do checking with? Wouldn't they just say "With us! With us!"

Don't know any recent homeowners in my area. Don't have a realtor yet, but plan to get one, I suppose. Maybe. If I"m actually doing this. Er. Eep?

The ice dancing commentators seem to be making a point of explaining why this Indian routine isn't offensive.
