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

Timelies all!

I guess I'd be a medium-large sf fan, as I attend a significant number of conventions a year. (Most of them are literary or filk-oriented, though)

Commute this morning was fun, in the sense that isn't. Heavy-duty rain as I'm driving towards work. My car is not amphibious, so water covering the tires is scary.

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

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

Steph, *I* think that cosplaying involves acting like the character. But I defer to Jesse on this front.

Uh, I have a furry question. Do you have to dress up to be one? Or does just having lustful thoughts qualify you? I mean, is it about you, or your sexual inclinations? Or either? Or both?

Curse you, orange juice, curse your tastiness.

That really needed an entire long graphic? "i.e. == that is". And we're done.

"e.g. == for example"

"insert unicorn here"

"silly beast"

Still quicker to download.
