"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

How could you live in New York on 26,000? I'm not sure I could live in Dallas on that much!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Semi-crappy neighborhood and/or roommates. I had several coworkers making $25K.

But then would you be married with kids?

My parents had a roommate when I was born! But anyway, if you're married, you're more than a 2-person family, and need to make more to qualify for the subsidy.

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

But then would you be married with kids?

$26k for a family of two is a single parent with one child.

[eta: In the context of qualifying for subsidized daycare, that is.]

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

It's dirty pool to stop someone on their way out of the office OBVIOUSLY FOR LUNCH when you know she has a 12:30 meeting and ask her to do stuff. I need to eat, bro.

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

OK, I've seen a number of blogs show this, so I'm posting it.

RIDICULOUS Summer's Eve Ad Boasts Promotion Abilities (PHOTO)

Yes, this is real. We can barely believe it either, but this ad for Summer's Eve feminine hygiene products featured in Woman's Day actually advises women to use Summer's Eve to better their chances of getting a promotion. There it is, listed as tip #1 under the copy "Confidence At Work: How To Ask For A Raise," right above "eat a healthy breakfast." Do we even want to know what being fresh "down there" has to do with job performance? We can't believe this was printed, but we'd also like to personally thank whoever was responsible for one of the most outrageous ads we've ever seen.
