If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Tino is totally a here thing so I'm agog if it's out in the wild.

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

Oh, no: Zsa Zsa has last rites.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Hmm. Maybe the place she was complaining about was actually called Tino's.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I love that picture of the Gabor sisters. I can't decide if Zsa Zsa is telling Sinatra to call her, or throwing some strange Swedish gang sign.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh yeah... I just assumed "Tino's" was a Buffista in thing that had developed in the years since I hung out here regularly. But I ran across someone else using it today. Is it some TV or film reference?

It's a reference to a coworker of flea's, actually named Tino, who is so monumentally incompetent and annoying that he became a stand-in for all incompetence and annoyance in the world.

That other Tino-speaker is obviously stealing. Or lurking. Or Tino is so evil as to have a clone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ha. Suela asked me the other day about where Tino had come from.

Art Crawl!!!

I thought it was from My So-Called Life - because Rayanne was always talking about what was going to happen when Tino got there or some party that Tino told her about.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure "last rites" isn't actually a thing (anymore?) -- my friend who just became Catholic told me it's just Annointing the Sick, and you can get it whenever. That said, people still think of it that way.

Also, I have figured out the actual keys to Greek salad -- it's the oregano and lemon juice! Good times.

For actual reference, here is the origin of Tino:

I think Last Rites ("extreme unction") has always been available whenever people want it. I can't imagine a Catholic asking for it and being told they can't have it, but in practice people don't ask for it until they're on death's door. [link]
